Just released an updated Color GLCD display driver using the ILI9340 controller.
The GLCD.h driver for the ILI 9340 is a 2.2 inch display with 320 * 240 Color pixels. The command set is the standard GLCD command set with color. Example code will be included in the next Hot Release.
To use this driver before the next release please ensure you update all the GLCD drivers to ensure the the driver works as expected.
Have fun, I will post a YouTube video later.

I have a LCD with a ILI9341 driver. Looking at the datasheet it would seem it is very similar to the ILI9340. Do you think it will work? Is there any documentation on your driver?

It very similar. Some on the internet claim the driver works 'out of box' but I do not know for the GCB driver. It will only need initialisation to be changed as the other GLCD methiod should work.
Documentation - yes, of course.
If can wait the week I will be shipping the next hot release and the new driver is included. I will add the parameters in GLCD.h to enable you to create the driver before I post. All you need to be is get the driver working. :-)
We are releasing a few other drivers in the new release inclufing Touch Screen drivers also.

What interface are you using? So I can make a start on soldering up the pins. It would seem that you can use SPI or a sort of i2c interface. Both can use 8 or 9 bit but in the 8 bit it seems that you have to connect a D/C pin as well.

@David. I have added to the next release of GCB the hooks so you can develop and add directly into Great Cow Basic your ILI9341 driver.
Use the following as the config, and, then create a driver (based on the GLCD_ILI9340.h) called GLCD_ILI9341.h. If you add your development GLCD_ILI9341.h to your include file all should work ok as you sort out the initialisation etc.

A short Youtube video showing the capabilities of the ILI9340 GLCD device see here
This driver will be included in the August 2015 Hot Release.
THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!! GREAT JOB!

The Help File in the code section has latest documentation for device. It uses 8-bit SPI.
The release code ishere you will the latest release as there is are functional changes in a number files of other supporting files.
Thanks I will try it out when I have managed the tricky soldering job.
Maybe I'm being stupid but where is the help file in the code section?
Use a pre-release version of the Help. See http://gcbasic.sourceforge.net/temp/Help
