@Ash8356 @ImpulseAdventure GUIslice doesn't supply drivers. It's a feature rich set of additional API's built on top of other drivers with a Low Code Builder that allows you to create User Interfaces with a drag and drop interface.

I don't believe GUIslice currently supports the CTS816S chip so this needs to be an enhancement request first.

If you already have your hardware working with say Adafruit libraries you will need to wait for Calvin's response about software support. You can test your display without touch using GUIslice config file ard-adagfx-st7735-notouch.h if you are using Adafruit GFX library.

The Adafruit drivers I found are:
An Arduino library for the CST816S capacitive touch screen IC
Adafruit-ST7735-Library

If you have examples with these or other drivers working then it would help Calvin (@ImpulseAdventure) out to know what drivers you are using, version numbers and the exact Arduino board you are using, Arduino Mega? Other?

@Ash8356 @ImpulseAdventure I should also mention that you can write your own interface to GUIslice for the CTS816S chip by following example ex16_ard_touch_hnd. I have done that myself and its not that hard.

Hello . I write a driver for that touch module. Look at PR. Tested . Worked perfect. CST820 and 816 are the same. You can download modified library on my git account. For that to work you need this library from LilyGO github and TFT eSPI.
