Help Wiring Adafruit 1.8" TFT LCD and 1284p standalone project

[uno23]

Hi all, I try to use 1.8" 18-bit color TFT LCD display
http://adafruit.com/products/358

with my breadboard 1284p project

So I wired

Code: Select all

Gnd          --> GND
VCC          --> 5v
RESET      --> D0
D/C          --> D3
CARDCS    --> NONE
TFTCS      --> D4
MOSI        --> D5
SCK         --> D7
MISO        --> NONE
LITE        --> VCC

this is the pin mapping for 1284p

Code: Select all

//

and i use adafruit labrary with this code...

Code: Select all

#define cs   4
#define dc   3
#define rst   0

#include <Adafruit_GFX.h>
#include <Adafruit_ST7735.h>
#include <SPI.h>

Adafruit_ST7735 tft = Adafruit_ST7735(cs,dc,rst);

and I try with the example graphictest_highspeed

But unfortunately the display is white totally illuminated.
upload code is via a programmer. And the sketch is uploaded correctly. I modified the code to add in the loop a blinking LED and it works. Any idea? Where am I doing wrong? thanks

best regards

This evening I tried to connect the display with arduino one following the tutorial step by step ..... but the result is the same the display appears all white

http://learn.adafruit.com/1-8-tft-displ ... he-display

Could it be broken? Mistake or something fundamental? But I followed the tutorial like a monkey

Please post detailed photos of your wiring. On the Uno, are you running one of the standard adafruit example sketches?

[uno23]

Many thanks for you reply.
Yes I use the example in the library graphictest:

Code: Select all

// You can use any (4 or) 5 pins
#define sclk 4
#define mosi 5
#define cs   6
#define dc   7
#define rst  8  // you can also connect this to the Arduino reset

#include <Adafruit_GFX.h>    // Core graphics library
#include <Adafruit_ST7735.h> // Hardware-specific library
#include <SPI.h>

// Option 1: use any pins but a little slower
Adafruit_ST7735 tft = Adafruit_ST7735(cs, dc, mosi, sclk, rst);

I attach in the photo how i have wired the dispaly with lcd.

We've had some problems with that library. Get the latest version (posted yesterday) and give it another try.

Great! It's work! I have tried with uno and also with 1284p both configuration work very fine!

thanks all!

best regards
