ILI9340 Display driver
######################

Overview
********

Every half-second, this sample application draws a color-filled rectangle in a
corner of the LCD display.  The rectangle fill color cycles through red, green,
and blue on each update.

Requirements
************

- `ST NUCLEO-L476RG development board`_
- `Adafruit 2.2 inch TFT Display`_

or

- :ref:`nrf52_pca10040`
- `Seeed 2.8 inch TFT Touch Shield V2.0`_

or

- :ref:`nrf52840_pca10056`
- `Adafruit 2.8 inch TFT Touch Shield`_

Wiring
******

The NUCLEO-L476RG should be connected as follows to the Adafruit TFT display.
