Graphical / Touchscreen display

[billduck]

I would like to become familiar with programming a Graphical / Touchscreen display for use with the UNO or Mega.
So I am look for recommendations for the hardware, and some sample code (FC8) to get started.
what I can find is here but sorting thru it is a challenge.

Thanks in advance.

I'm currently using a Nextion display - works very well, but cheating a bit, since the display is actually doing the heavy lifting.
Working up to the Gameduino (again the display is really doing a lot of the hard work)

See https://m.banggood.com/search/Nextion.html for example - but more there are different levels of display with the higher levels offering more functionality..

Thanks. Looking for that display within the component list for Flowcode8. Is it listed in another name?

It doesn't have a component - all the display layout is done on a PC (and programming/debugging) - The display communicates with the Arduino via UART.for example it sends a string if a button is'pressed' or the Arduino can send a string to change a gauge indicator, or some text etc.

It's pretty easy to use - I can give more examples if needed or work you through a use case.. I'm thinking of a component for it, but for many uses it probably doesn't need one.

Try the programmer, simulator from https://nextion.tech/nextion-editor/ and see if out can do what you are after in a display.
