Hello everyone, looking for some advice.
Here's the hardware I have:
-New rev3 2560 Mega board
-Velleman VMA412 2.8" touch-TFT shield
The official downloads for that product work just fine and example sketches are great.
However, I really like the libraries UTFT and URTouch as opposed to the MCUFRIEND one that the shield's downloads use.
I've looked real hard at the UTFT library to see if I can get it's examples to display anything but all attempts just give me the white-powered-up but no response situation.
Things I've tried so far:
-
The Mega board receives the shield insertion with the following pins:
RS -> A2 (digi 56)
WR -> A1 (digi 55)
CS -> A3 (digi 57)
RST -> A4 (digi 58) -
I've tried plugging those pin numbers into the UTFT object - myGLCD(pins etc.) in both direct analog numbers (e.g. A1) or using digital pin names instead (e.g. A1 = 55) ... no change.
-
I've tried both of the above with lots of different controller model names and modes as per the UTFT documentation but never any success.
Can anyone see if I'm missing something or do you think those libraries have no chance since they don't directly support the Velleman product?
What's interesting is that some of the examples in the official download do indeed use the UTFTGLUE object in some examples but these don't require the user to sort out pin factors. They just worked. The comments in those examples are quite obviously a mod of the original UTFT sketches with all of RinkyDinkElectronics advice in commentry. So part of me want's to believe these items are compatible and I'm just not seeing something that isn't matching up right.
Thank you in advance for any help!
