So I'm currently simply trying to get a TFT screen I recently bought to work with my Arduino Mega 2560, but I cannot seem to get it to work in the slightest. The exact model is found here:
https://thepihut.com/products/adafruit- ... osd-socket
To try and get it to work I have been following a guide linked by the store page (8-Bit Wiring & Test | Adafruit 3.5" 320 ... ing System)
I have followed the guide exactly, and have redone the wiring completely from scratch about a dozen times at this point, including the few times that I attempted to get the display to work with an Arduino Uno that I have (no success there either). The furthest I've seen results is in the backlight turning on when I connect the power. Following the tutorial I installed all the required libraries, modified them as needed, and attempted to run the graphicstest.ino example. The example appears to upload with no errors, however this still never actually leads to anything being shown on the TFT display. Instead, in the serial monitor the following text is printed:
Code: Select all
Using Adafruit 2.8" TFT Breakout Board Pinout
TFT size is 320x480
Unknown LCD driver chip: E4E4
If using the Adafruit 2.8" TFT Arduino shield, the line:
#define USE_ADAFRUIT_SHIELD_PINOUT
should appear in the library header (Adafruit_TFT.h).
If using the breakout board, it should NOT be #defined!
Also if using the breakout, double-check that all wiring
matches the tutorial.
Any help at all with my issue would be very much appreciated
