Arduino MEGA R3 with CTE shield and 7" Display - SD CARD Problem

Other Hardware Displays
1

Hello all !

Few month ago I buyed an Arduino Mega R3 and an 3.2" Display with SD Card reader Onboard.
I was using the great Libraries of Henning Karlsen (UTFT, UTouch, UTFT_tinyFAT) and everything worked fine,
so thanks to Henning!

Now 3.2" just went to small and i just got an 7" Display with an SSD1963 controller onboard.
its connected to the Arduino via CTE shield.

It was easy to connect and the only thing i had to do was to change the controllername in my sketch.
UTFT and UTouch work very fine but i cant read the SD card.

I have two slots for the card ( one on the CTE shield and one directly at the Display) but both dont work.
i got no problems or errors while compiling and uploading and my sketch does work normal,
but no pictures where displayed.

Does anyone have had the same problem or know how to solve mine / help me ?

Tank you and greetings !:slight_smile:

I just saw that i have no such "Font IC" on my shield and even not on the Display board .

Is this IC necceressy to load and display pictures with Henning Karlsens UTFT_tinyFAT library ?
I actually have no idea what such an IC does.

Thank you. !
