Waveshare display 3.5inches about arduino_gfx HOT 10 CLOSED

SPI + ILI948x combination is a little tricky, because did not support 16-bit color. You should use Arduino_ILI9486_18bit

from arduino_gfx.

Hi, Thank you very much for your prompt response and suggestion. I have already tried using the Arduino_ILI9486_18bit constructor in my attempts, as indicated in my initial message. Unfortunately, I still haven't been able to get the display to work correctly with this setup.

#define GFX_BL 9 // default backlight pin, you may replace DF_GFX_BL to actual backlight pin
Arduino_DataBus *bus = new Arduino_HWSPI(7 /* DC */, 10 /* CS */);
Arduino_GFX *gfx = new Arduino_ILI9486_18bit( bus, 8 /* RST */, 0 /* rotation */, false /* IPS */);

I used this connections:

SCLK | D13
MISO | D12
MOSI | D11
LCD_CS | D10
LCD_BL | D9
LCD_RST | D8
LCD_DC | D7
TP_BUSY | D6
SD_CS | D5
TP_CS | D4
TP_IRQ | D3

Given this, I'm wondering if there might be another aspect of the configuration or setup that I'm missing, or if there's another workaround or step that I should try to resolve this issue.
Any further insights or recommendations you could offer would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again for your time and support.

I found the SPI shared with SD and TP, you may need to pullup both CS to avoid signal conflict.

To ensure I'm understanding your suggestion correctly, are you recommending that I add pull-up resistors to the CS signals of both the SD card and the TP?

you can use pinMode and digitalWrite high to pull up in software

nothing to do, it doesn't work

thats all I know

Thank you again for your support.
I'll continue to investigate and explore other potential fixes or workarounds for the problem. If anyone else in the community has experienced something similar or has suggestions, I would be grateful for any additional advice.

I found the waveshare init code using 16-bit color, but ILI9486 datasheet did not mention it. And I tried other ILI9486 display cannot use 16-bit, so I believe it actually ST7796. you may try Arduino_ST7796 is it work.

Hi, @moononournation,
I tested HelloWorld.ino example with following settings:

#define GFX_BL 9//DF_GFX_BL // default backlight pin, you may replace DF_GFX_BL to actual backlight pin

Arduino_DataBus *bus = new Arduino_HWSPI(7, 10);
Arduino_GFX *gfx = new Arduino_ST7796(bus, 8 /*RST*/ , 0 /* rotation */);

but it doesn't work, the backlight comes on and nothing else; I also tried with IPS = true.
