Hello everyone, I am new to iot, I currently have an esp8266 and a "3.5" 480x320 TFT screen and I would like to know if anyone has an example of wiring for an esp8266 and TFT Shield screen

Here is the pin configuration for now
LCD_RST <=> RST
LCD_CS <=> GND
LCD_RS <=> GPIO15
LCD_WR <=> GPIO14
LCD_RD <=> 3V
LCD_D0 <=> GPIO0
LCD_D1 <=> GPIO1
LCD_D2 <=> GPIO2
LCD_D3 <=> GPIO3
LCD_D4 <=> GPIO4
LCD_D5 <=> GPIO5
LCD_D6 <=> GPIO12
LCD_D7 <=> GPIO13

Your topic has been moved to a more suitable location on the forum. Installation and Troubleshooting is not for problems with (nor for advice on) your project :wink: See About the Installation & Troubleshooting category.

You don't really have enough GPIO pins on an ESP8266.

I strongly advise that you buy an SPI display. They work fine on ESP8266 and you still have spare pins.

Or you buy an ESP32.

Whatever you choose Bodmer's TFT_eSPI library supports 8080-8 and SPI interface displays. And has ready-made User Setups for most things.
