1.8 inch TFT LCD w/ SD breakout doesnt seem to be working

Post by Tadgh »

Hi there I recently received the 1.8" TFT LCD w/ SD breakout, and when I wire it up, the backlight comes, on, the serial monitor runs through its thing(init -> time -> done) and none of digital pins on the board are dead. Am I doing something wrong or is my LCD defective? I've tried wiring it with both flexible and high-speed wiring.
I have essentially the same problem noted here:http://forums.adafruit.com/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=25629

Attached is the wiring I'm using. I have the green-tabbed LCD, and I made sure the red_init was commented out.

Do I need a new one or am I missing something obvious?

Ach, sorry for the photo sizes

Looks like your header is not soldered to the breakout board. You need to solder it to assure good connections.
