Hi guys, I got my first Arduino mega with TFT display.
The tutorial I was following is here
as the guy set I bought the stuff arduino mega, shield, TFT from aliexpress
I used the example from offline arduino app named UTFT_Demo_400x240
and when I use this
UTFT myGLCD(SSD1289,38,39,40,41); the display is blank and nothing happened
then just by accident tried this
UTFT myGLCD(CTE32HR,38,39,40,41); and its working but the display is flipped and shifted.
I have read here the threads of fliped TFT but did not find an answer.
How could be CTE32HR working and the type which I suppose to use SSD1289 NOT?
How to fix the flip?
Could someone help?
Post a link to the actual AliExpress sale. Compare all photos on the link to the screen on your desk.
Either describe the differences in the photos or post a photo of the actual pcb on your desk.
It is extremely unlikely that you have SSD1289. Ebay / AliExpress often lie. You should always compare with the item on your desk.

Ah-ha. Fourth time lucky !!! The PCB JPG clearly shows TFT_320QVT_9341
Use the 40-pin adapter in the first JPG. UTFT library with model ILI9341_16 in the constructor.
Since you have a 16-bit ILI9341 there is little point in using the gobbledygook model names.
Hey-ho, UTFT users like to use gobbledygook. And then wonder why the screen is the wrong size, colour, direction, ...

I am pleased that you have it working.
Providing the JPGs of your Adapter and your Display PCB makes all the difference to "solution in one reply".
Yes, it takes a few minutes to prepare your question. The reward is worth your time.
It takes much longer when there are several messages back and forth until readers get the information.
Your thread has worked well. Sometimes threads continue for days and weeks.

yes its ILI9341_16 thank you very much Iam going to play with it now thank you again.
