Interfacing SSD1963 TFT Diplay with Arduino UNO

Other Hardware Displays
1

Good evening, everyone,

I am new to working with color displays on Arduino and have recently purchased a 7-inch SSD1963 TFT color display.
I would like to interface it with my Arduino UNO and would appreciate any guidance or recommendations on how to proceed.

Below is the link to the display module I am using:
[7.0inch 16BIT Module SSD1963 - LCD wiki](https://7.0-inch 16BIT Module SSD1963)

I have searched online for resources on how to use this type of display module with Arduino, but unfortunately, I have not been able to get it working.

I would be truly grateful if someone could guide me on how to get started with this display.

Thank you all for your help, and I wish you an excellent evening!

Best regards,
Badr SBR

Welcome Pedro,

That TFT uses more pins than the Uno board has and I haven't seen that display used with one. The Uno is also low on memory for this application.

However there is a TFT/SD shield made to use this display with the Arduino Mega board.

Here is a video tutorial:

Forget about getting it to work with an Uno. Buy a Mega.

Good evening @Hutkikz

Thank you so much for your reply and for all the information you provided.
I saw previously a video in which this display was used with an ESP32 using 8 data pins instead of 16, so I thought it may work on Arduino UNO...

I'll get that shield for sure and I'll give it a try :crossed_fingers:

Have an excellent evening!

Hello @van_der_decken I'll give it a try basing on the video sent by @Hutkikz using the Arduino Mega :wink:

Thanks and have an excellent evening!
