TFT 7" / SSD1963 mirrored

Hello,

I need your help to solve an issue on 7" TFT.
I've just bought a 7"TFT (managed by SSD1963) with Arduino MEGA adapter shield and download the UTFT library.
The TFT shield seems to works, but I have to issues :

  • the screen is mirrored
  • The is no red color.

I tried with another library found on the Internet (CTE library base on UTFT library).
Now I have red colors but always the mirrored image.

So, I think the TFT work well, but the issues seems to be link to the library.
It is the first time I have to edit a library. So, I need your help to do this.

First question : Which software do you use to edit a .cpp file. Can I just use a text editor ?
Second question : can you help me to identified the parameter to change. I read the SSD1963 datasheet. For mirrored image, I think I probably have to change a parameter at this command :
LCD_Write_COM(0x36); //rotation”
LCD_Write_DATA(0x???);

Thanks for your help

the answer is;
LCD_Write_COM(0x36); //rotation”
LCD_Write_DATA(0x03);

I'm having the same issue: http://arduino.cc/forum/index.php/topic,152053.0.html

I did a search but somehow missed that there was another thread askeding the same question, I think I searched LCD instead of TFT!

Anyways....... I hope the advice you got above works for you because it didn't work on mine. Might be worth keeping an eye on my thread as well.

Good luck !!
