Hi, i have a similar display. I made some tests with it first and thought, it works fine.But now i have strange behaviors:
My setting: Arduino Mega2560. Henning Carlsens UTFT Library, connected with the following sheme:
myGLCD(A5,A4,A3,A2);
The problem comes with the Voltage: I have several pieces of the TFT, some of them work, when i connect the "RD"-pin to 3.3V of the Mega, some work without that connection. Some work, if connected 5V->5V and GND to GND, some when either GND or 5V is left out.
And one more strange thing: It works much more stable, when my Mega is powered only via USB. If i us an external power supply, the display resets very often (sometimes every second!), or simply doesn't work or shows just black and white stripes.
I measured the Voltage on the 5V-pin of my Mega. When it is connected via USB, it only has 4.5V, when externally powered, it has 4.95V. But i think both should be ok??
On the TFT i recognized a small IC with "662K" on it (it is labelled "U1"). I googled this, and it should be a Voltage regulator. So i am quite sure, the 5V-Logic Voltage of the Arduino Mega should be ok with this Display? I also tried to connect the Jumper "JP1" near this "U1"-IC, but then the TFT only shows a light blue screen.
So, summing up i can say that different items from the same type show slightly different behaviors, but all seems to be related to the voltage. Does anybody have any suggestions for me?
