ILI9341 Library for arduino

Question

I'm writing an arduino library for ILI9341 tft display. I tried to write on the display but nothing appears. Why? How can I solve the problem ?

My source code:

    /* DISPLAY PINS */
#define LCD_RST A4    //reset
#define LCD_CS A3
#define LCD_RS A2
#define LCD_WR A1
#define LCD_RD A0



#define LCD_D0 8
#define LCD_D1 9
#define LCD_D2 2
#define LCD_D3 3
#define LCD_D4 4
#define LCD_D5 5
#define LCD_D6 6
#define LCD_D7 7





void setup()
{

    delay(1000);
    //init serial
    Serial.begin(9600);

    //init digital pins
    initLcdPins();
    delay(100);

    setPower1();
    memoryAccessControl();
    setPixelFormat(18);


    displayOn();

    delay(100);
    setCol();
    setPage();
    writeMemory();
}

// Add the main program code into the continuous loop() function
void loop()
{


}

I noticed that the address you give in memoryAccessControl() is 0x37 (Vertical Scrolling Start Address) not 0x36.

You also need to use the sleep out command 0x11 in your setup() function.

I have edited the source code but the display shows nothing. – jhon tonini Oct 17 '18 at 07:28
One other thing i overlooked was that you're not toggling chip select, it's always high. Try pulling CS low before `setAddress()` and setting it high again after the last `setParameter()` in each of your command functions. – Adam VZ Oct 17 '18 at 13:44
Also don't forget to remove it from being set high again in the beginning of each call to `setAddress()` and `setParameter()` – Adam VZ Oct 17 '18 at 13:51
I have updated my code but the display is black. – jhon tonini Oct 17 '18 at 14:11
I just tested out similar code on the microcontroller I have, it worked for me. Can you edit your original post's code with the changes you made? I would also double check your pin connections at this point. Just to double check, is the back light on? – Adam VZ Oct 17 '18 at 15:24
Yes, the back ligth is on – jhon tonini Oct 17 '18 at 15:49
Using the code you most recently added it also does not work for me either. The initialization function is missing display on and sleep out commands. Can you check the IM[0:2] pins and make sure they're set for an 8 bit parallel interface (all 0)? – Adam VZ Oct 17 '18 at 16:31
I'm using a board that I bought on ebay so I do not know where are the pins IM [0: 2] . – jhon tonini Oct 17 '18 at 16:38
