IT Works, and with MEGA 2560
The libraries are identified on the microyum website. you will need the TFT_22_ILI9225_SPI from github.You will also need the standard SPI libary installed.for connecting on the mega the SPI pins are different than the UNO. use these pin numbers#define TFT_RST 8#define TFT_RS 9#define TFT_CS 53 // SS#define TFT_SDI 51 // MOSI#define TFT_CLK 52 // SCK#define TFT_LED 3 // 0 if wired to +5V directlyI copied these into the example program and it works.as i play around with it i may adjust the rating, but thus far it was easy to at least get going.Something else to consider is the unit dimensions. 2.0" only tells you so much. I'm including a diagram I made myself with my own measurements. Use them at your on discretion.

Quick to die
I ordered two screens, both of which died after only a few minutes of use with test sketches. Would not recommend at all, even for learning.

Works on ESP8255, ESP32, MKR1000, MKR1010, MKR1400, Mega 2560
Have tried on numerous boards and all seemed to work. Had issue originally but that was a connectivity problem and nothing to do with the board itself. If they were still available I would by 2 more. Looked up this order to get another pair of these which for the price was incredible for 2inch display. -1 star since they are unavailable :(

Works fine with Arduino Nano
Couldn't make it to work with Arduino Fio (probably due to Fio limitation of 8MHz SPI bus), but works fine with Arduino Nano (which has 16MHz CPU chip and SPI).Initial testing performed using sample code from Microyum Web site. Keep in mind that sample code has HTML encoding issues and requires correction of "<" and ">". If lazy, there is a link there in comments to corrected source provided by one of developers.IMPORTANT: Cable pins in the package are slightly shorter than might be required for some of breadboards, resulting in poor connectivity and impression of dead TFT. Nothing wrong with cable/pins though, as they're designed for different than breadboard female connector. Had it in my case. Just push them all the way into the breadboard.

May be better options?
I would not purchase this item again. I couldn't make the library on the website work.This is how I got it to work.1. Search for ILI9225 library found TFT_22_ILI9225 on Github.com2. Power your Arduino from an outside source.3. Connect 3V3 to 3 volts the display doesn't like 5 volts4. Connect BL (back light) to 5 voltsI am going to try using a display with the ILI9341 controller for true TFT.

Does Not Work!
The board does not even become active when running the example code from MICROYUM. I guess the quality of this product is not the greatest.

Library segfaults on ESP32
With the ILI9225 driver #included, ESP32 modules panic on boot.
