Although I am a relative newbie I have purchased my second 2.4" Mcufriend Tft display. I was succesful with the first one but this one has left me baffled I am using these libraries and sketches Software:
Arduino IDE 1.6.7 Libraries: libraries.7z st7783.zip.
If I use the Mygraphicstest sketch in the st7783.zip It displays the Patterns, lines and shapes correctly but when it displays the text it only displays the first character of sentence
I have written a simple sketch to emphasise this.
#include "TFTLCD.h"
#define LCD_CS A3
#define LCD_CD A2
#define LCD_WR A1
#define LCD_RD A0
// optional
#define LCD_RESET A4
// Color definitions
#define BLACK 0x0000
#define BLUE 0x001F
#define RED 0xF800
#define GREEN 0x07E0
#define CYAN 0x07FF
#define MAGENTA 0xF81F
#define YELLOW 0xFFE0
#define WHITE 0xFFFF
TFTLCD tft(LCD_CS, LCD_CD, LCD_WR, LCD_RD, LCD_RESET);
void setup() {
tft.reset();
tft.initDisplay();
tft.setRotation(1);
tft.fillScreen(GREEN);
//delay (200);
tft.fillRect(50, 85, 190, 80, RED);
//tft.fillScreen(RED);
//tft.fillRect(100, 100, 50, 60, RED);
}
void loop() {
tft.setCursor (50, 100);
tft.setTextSize (8);
tft.setTextColor(BLACK);
tft.println(111.5);
delay (100);
tft.setCursor (90, 100);
tft.setTextSize (8);
tft.setTextColor(RED);
tft.setCursor(50, 20);
tft.setTextColor(BLUE);
tft.setTextSize(5);
tft.println("Hello World!");
}
This is the result on the display .
I am unsure whether this is a hard ware fault or a libraries issue any help would be appreciated .
Thank you John
Ps when I preview this dosent show display pic if it isnt displayed the Display Shows capital "H"and "1.50" within red rectangle.
