For the past month I have been building a Wireless weather station using the arduino Due board. I have been getting all the information from a video on line from Instructables. They make it look so easy. I down loaded all the libraries they used in the video so I don't get any errors while compiling. I have tried everything along with seeing what other people have posted in the Forum. The display is using only about 60% of the screen. The other 40% is just white in color without being able to print text or numbers in the white. By moving text around it acts like that's the end of the screen where the white begins. I have tried the demos for that display with the same result. I'm not sure if it might be the wrong driver even though I have tried all of them in the "user_setup . Any ideas? Thanks for your help.
please post your sketch within </> code-tags, what is the resolution (and size) of your screen ? where is the usable part of the screen located ? and please links to where you got the libraries from.
The display is a 480x320 screen. As far as I can tell the blank part of the screen is about 40% on the right side, or the pin side of the screen. All the text on the screen is backwards and upside down. With this it's hard to tell what side is blank. There is a lot of code, about 350 lines. If you don't mind I will give you the web site I got it from. "autodesk,inc[US] www.instructables.com/id/Wireless_Weather_Station/ . The libraries came from this site along with the drivers came from TFT_HX8357_DUE-Master in user_setup. There are four drivers to choose from.
This is the programming section of the forum and yet, we can't see your programming.
Here it is, it's the receiver sketch of my project. I have to use the attachment part of my reply since it's so big.
Wireless_receiver.ino (6.98 KB)
And still, for those of us on mobile devices, we can't see your programming.
Good luck - it's the best I can offer.
OK, I'm new to this. Everytime I try to download a sketch using <> I dont know where to go from there. I can't get the sketch onto my reply other than using the attachment.

But if i would say "The resolution is set for 320x240 not the 480x320" you can agree that this is probably the case ? and if i say that "The orientation may be mirrored." you could also agree ? in that case i can have a look within in the library (or you could have a look yourself) and usually there are some parameters that define the resolution and the orientation that you can modify to suit the particular tft screen that you have. If you want me to have a look you'll either have to add TFT_HX8357_Due.h as an attachment or add the exact link (",) to it.
You evidently got the sketch? I still couldn't tell whether I sent it. It didn't how up when I previewed it.
Where do I change the resolution? In the sketch itself or in the user_setup?

you can see the attachment now in your post, but better is to post it using the </> code tag button.

probably somewhere in the library (which i do not have ...)
