Hello i bought TFT LCD 240x320 2.8 display recently.
i'm VERY NEW to arduino, so i need help to connect my display to arduino uno.
i've watched many youtube vids and tried to see any solutions on the forums but nothing.
Basically my display does NOT have CS(chip select)
only has 8 pins which are GND, VCC, CLK, MOSI, RES, DC, BLK, MISO.
i even tried to use CHATGPT but i'm always getting WHITE SCREEN
this is where i bought it from link
Please check the answers here and connect the pins accordingly:
hI THANKS FOR REPLYING
i tried to do graphicstest.ino
i copied the code from that guy and changed this

connected only VCC GND DC and RES
VCC to 3.3v
gnd to gnd

res to digital 12
i still got a white screen out of it. and serial monitor has this printed:
