I am using a TFT ILI9225 display i tried most of the websites i am unable to make tha hardware SPI work using ARDUINO MEGA, And how to load and display images from SD card please give me the interface clearly the pins on the display are
VCC
GND
GND
NC
NC
CLK
SDA
RS
RST
CS
SD_CS
SD_MOSI
SD_SCK
SD_MISO

Read this message and associated thread.
I suggest that you plug the board into the Analog header as described. Verify that the display is working.
Then use hardware pins for SPI. TFT_SDA=51, TFT_SCK=52 on a Mega.
Choose any pins for the other signals.
Verify the display is working with Software Constructor and Hardware Constructor.
For the SD, you need to connect to SD_CS=53, SD_MOSI=51, SD_SCK=52, SD_MISO=50
Make sure that you use the Hardware constructor for the TFT. And use SPI Transactions.
David.
Can you please give me Arduino code which can load a bitmap image form root of SD card and display on screen i have given connections as
ARDUINO MEGA - TFT ILI9225
VCC - 5V
GND - GND
GND - GND
LED A0
CLK - A1
SDA - A2
RS - A3
RST - A4
CS - A5
SD_CS - 53
SD_MOSI - 51
SD_SCK - 52
SD_MISO - 50
And Hardware Spi ( Working well ) connections i am using are
ARDUINO MEGA - TFT ILI9225
VCC - 3.3V
GND - GND
GND - GND
LED - 3
CLK - 52
SDA - 51
RS - 9
RST - 8
CS - 53
Which pins should i connect SD Card
SD_CS - ?
SD_MOSI - ?
SD_SCK - ?
SD_MISO - ?
please give me a sample code which can load and diaplay BMP images from SD card
Go on. If you have chosen 53 for TFT_CS, you need to choose a different pin for SD_CS.
For the SD, you need to connect to SD_CS=53, SD_MOSI=51, SD_SCK=52, SD_MISO=50
Look at examples from Adafruit_ST7735 library e.g. spitftbitmap.ino
You will need an equivalent for tft.width(), tft.setAddrWindow(), tft.pushColor()
David.
SD_CS - can i use 50
SD_MOSI - 49
SD_SCK - 48
SD_MISO - 47

Update Adafruit_GFX via the Library Manager.
It is always wise to keep your libraries up to date.
Modern compilers are fussy about const. You may need to edit legacy sketches.

but i dont have a DC pin on the TFT ,
the pins i have are
VCC - 3.3V
GND - GND
GND - GND
LED - 3
CLK - 52
SDA - 51
RS - 9
RST - 8
CS - 53
Which pins should i connect SD Card
SD_CS - ?
SD_MOSI - ?
SD_SCK - ?
SD_MISO - ?
can you please give me the 4 pins connections of tft to arduino mega, and what else i need to change in the code i posted above and i am using a 176*220 pixel 2.2''
display
Have you soldered header pins to the SD_xx header ?
Have you tried the regular "SD.h" examples? i.e. reporting to Serial
Then you can try reporting to the TFT.
I suggested that you studied the spitftbmp.ino example
This is not a trivial task. The TFT_22_ILI9225 library has not got direct equivalent public methods.
What experience do you have?
DC, RS, CD are just different names for RegisterSelect.
David.
EVERYTHING is ok i have connected the spi of SD card to ICSP pins on mega i am able to draw shapes using hardware serial ... now, form the above example
i am using a TFT ILI9225 2.2'' i..e.., 176*220 pixel display how initialize it in the code it is mentioned for only till 1.8'' display
VCC - 3.3V
GND - GND
GND - GND
LED - 3
CLK - 52
SDA - 51
RS - 9
RST - 8
CS - 53
SD_CS - 40
SD_MOSI - ICSP(4)
SD_SCK - ICSP(3)
SD_MISO - ICSP(1)
I Have given these connections now please give me an arduino code which can load and display a image from SD card
