This is the display i am trying to get working. But i t just refuses.
Tried every code on google page 1. Reinstalled arduino (and libs) multiple times.
Tried on different boards.
Nothing. Whitescreen.
The Screen is 5V Compatible. Using a Nano atm, wired like here:
(ILI9341 TFT Touch Screen - ProjectPages)
| CONNECTOR | NANO PIN |
|---|---|
| SDO(MISO) | 12 |
| LED | VCC |
| SCK | 13 |
| SDI(MOSI) | 11 |
| D/C | 9 |
| RESET | 8 |
| CS | 10 |
| GND | GND |
| VCC | VCC |
My code is (shortened):
#include "SPI.h"
#include "Adafruit_GFX.h"
#include "Adafruit_ILI9341.h"
// For the Adafruit shield, these are the default.
#define TFT_RST 8
#define TFT_DC 9
#define TFT_CS 10
// Use hardware SPI (on Uno, #13, #12, #11) and the above for CS/DC
Adafruit_ILI9341 tft = Adafruit_ILI9341(TFT_CS, TFT_DC, TFT_RST);
// If using the breakout, change pins as desired
//Adafruit_ILI9341 tft = Adafruit_ILI9341(TFT_CS, TFT_DC, TFT_MOSI, TFT_CLK, TFT_RST, TFT_MISO);
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
Serial.println("ILI9341 Test!");
tft.begin();
// read diagnostics (optional but can help debug problems)
uint8_t x = tft.readcommand8(ILI9341_RDMODE);
Serial.print("Display Power Mode: 0x"); Serial.println(x, HEX);
x = tft.readcommand8(ILI9341_RDMADCTL);
Serial.print("MADCTL Mode: 0x"); Serial.println(x, HEX);
x = tft.readcommand8(ILI9341_RDPIXFMT);
Serial.print("Pixel Format: 0x"); Serial.println(x, HEX);
x = tft.readcommand8(ILI9341_RDIMGFMT);
Serial.print("Image Format: 0x"); Serial.println(x, HEX);
x = tft.readcommand8(ILI9341_RDSELFDIAG);
Serial.print("Self Diagnostic: 0x"); Serial.println(x, HEX);
Serial.println(F("Benchmark Time (microseconds)"));
delay(10);
Serial.print(F("Screen fill "));
Serial.println(testFillScreen());
delay(500);
[...]
Serial.println(F("Done!"));
}
void loop(void) {
for(uint8_t rotation=0; rotation<4; rotation++) {
tft.setRotation(rotation);
testText();
delay(1000);
}
}
unsigned long testFillScreen() {
unsigned long start = micros();
tft.fillScreen(ILI9341_BLACK);
yield();
tft.fillScreen(ILI9341_RED);
yield();
tft.fillScreen(ILI9341_GREEN);
yield();
tft.fillScreen(ILI9341_BLUE);
yield();
tft.fillScreen(ILI9341_BLACK);
yield();
return micros() - start;
}
[...]
unsigned long testFilledRoundRects() {
unsigned long start;
int i, i2,
cx = tft.width() / 2 - 1,
cy = tft.height() / 2 - 1;
tft.fillScreen(ILI9341_BLACK);
start = micros();
for(i=min(tft.width(), tft.height()); i>20; i-=6) {
i2 = i / 2;
tft.fillRoundRect(cx-i2, cy-i2, i, i, i/8, tft.color565(0, i, 0));
yield();
}
return micros() - start;
}
Which just returns:
ILI9341 Test!
Display Power Mode: 0x0
MADCTL Mode: 0x0
Pixel Format: 0x0
Image Format: 0x0
Self Diagnostic: 0x0
So basically nothing.
Any advice what i could try?
Maybe this is a library compatibility error?
Tried different versions of Adafruit GFX, i am using the most recent of any libraries at the moment.
Is there some Adafruit alternative?
I am much too close to hit that damn thing now
