Controller model number for MCU friend "Tftlcd for Arduino Uno (spiflash)

Other Hardware Displays
1

So I recently bought a display from eVay sold as an ili9341, but nope, it isn't responding or initializing with the ili9341 instruction set.

Would anyone happen to have this same display and know which controller it is using or know if there might be a library written for it?

The Adafruit_tftlcd and Adafruit_gfx libraries are showing it as 0x5408. Doing research on that, someone mentioned the controller is SPFd5408. Tried that library and still no go.

Also, what type of dataflash can we use with these boards? I have some Adesto at45db641e 64-Mbit dataflash. That could be interesting for holding graphics data later.

Please note the button icons on the front of the display, which might signify what controller it might be, along with the board title. There does not appear to be a manual for the display, and I can't find a way to convert the mcufriend website to English.

Thanks for your help.

You have a regular Red 2.4 inch Mcufriend Shield.
One photo of the whole pcb would have been more helpful.

The (spiflash) refers to the empty U5 footprint. You could solder a Flash memory chip.

The Flash memory chip would stop you using the microSD because the FLASH_CS is connected to the same pin as the SD_CS (D10). As far as I know, there are no 5V tolerant Flash chips. So it is only any good if you have 3.3V GPIO.

Install MCUFRIEND_kbv library from the Library Manager. It will tell you what controller is actually mounted. (out of human view inside the TFT panel)
