Is my brand new 1.8" TFT LCD broken ?

Post by djosimd »

Hi, i just bough the 1.8" TFT LCD on adadruit.com http://www.adafruit.com/products/358
and i tried tu plug it the "slow" way and the "fast" as seen on the tutorial, but my screen seems, what ever the wiring is, to have a third of the screen displaying funky colors. The graphic test example sketch seems to work on the other part of the screen because i can see the shapes.

here a picture of my "funky" screen

That was the first time i was using my screen, is it broken ? does adafruit have so kind of waranty ? or is it just my wiring that suck ?

Thank you !

Definitely a problem there. Can you post a photo clearly showing your soldering and connections?

Try redownloading the arduino library - be sure to completely delete the old version and try again. There was a bug that seemed to interact with the latest IDEs
