ILI9488 strange problem

I have the ILI9488 TFT touch display and I'm using the TFT_eSPI library.

  1. When I connect only the touch, it works.
  2. When I connect only the TFT, it works.
  3. When I connect both, the touch works but the TFT doesn't work. The TFT SDO pin is left unconnected.
    (Warning: Do not connect the ILI9488 display SDO to MISO if other devices share the SPI bus (TFT SDO does NOT tristate when CS is high)).
  4. When I connect the TFT SDO pin to MISO together with the touch DO, the TFT works but the touch doesn't work.
  5. If I disconnect the TFT SDO pin from MISO, the touch starts working, but the display stops working.

Any ideas?

It seems that connecting the TFT SDO pin to VCC helps. WHY?

Maybe DroneBotWorkShop will help?
