Wiring & Test

Wiring

Wiring up the display in SPI mode is pretty easy as there's not that many pins! We'll be using hardware SPI, but you can

also use software SPI (any pins) later. Start by connecting the power pins

3-5V Vin connects to the Arduino 5V pin

GND connects to Arduino ground

CLK connects to SPI clock. On Arduino Uno/Duemilanove/328-based, thats Digital 13. On Mega's, its Digital 52

and on Leonardo/Due its ICSP-3 (See SPI Connections for more details (https://adafru.it/d5h))

MOSI connects to SPI MOSI. On Arduino Uno/Duemilanove/328-based, thats Digital 11. On Mega's, its Digital 51

and on Leonardo/Due its ICSP-4 (See SPI Connections for more details (https://adafru.it/d5h))

CS connects to our SPI Chip Select pin. We'll be using Digital 10 but you can later change this to any pin

RST connects to our TFT reset pin. We'll be using Digital 9 but you can later change this pin too.

D/C connects to our SPI data/command select pin. We'll be using Digital 8 but you can later change this pin too.

Install Arduino Libraries

We have example code ready to go for use with these TFTs. It's written for Arduino, which should be portable to any

microcontroller by adapting the C++ source.

Three

libraries need to be installed using the Arduino Library Manager…this is the preferred and modern way. From

the Arduino “Sketch” menu, select “Include Library” then “Manage Libraries…”
