Connecting my Arduino to an ILI9325 display

Other Hardware Displays

Hi,

So I bought myself a 2.8 Inch 240 x 320 ILI9325 TFT LCD Touch Screen. It has the following pins.

I connected DB0 to DB7 do the Arduino's D0 to D7 respectively.
RD > 3.3V
REST > A2
CS > A3
RW > A4
RS > A5
LED_A > 5V
GND > GND

Now when I connect my Arduino, the screen switches on and keeps showing light.

My questions:

  • Did I correctly connect my Arduino to my display?
  • What software should I use as a driver to display data on the LCD?

thanks in advance,
Joost

Here is a tutorial on your display. http://tronixstuff.com/2013/04/26/tutorial-arduino-and-ili9325-colour-tft-lcd-modules/

Hi and thanks for your quick reply. I have used the connections he described. But unfortunately, the library he refers to, doesn't do anything. I added it to my project, used an example, but my screen just keeps lighting up and doesn't do anything else..
Somehow I think i made a wrong conncetion...

Which Arduino are you using. If an Uno, pins 0 and 1 are used by the serial interface. you may need to choose different pins and modify the code to reflect the new wiring.

Yes,

Im using a Uno... Which driver for this LCD would you recommend?

I have never used that display, so can not recommend a library. I would use the library from the tutorial

Use adafruit library, it has a low memory usage (~17k for the "graphic test"). The UTFT is bigger (~40k for the UTFT Demo ) and will not fit in UNO.
