Help with the "ILI9341 Display 8bit Data Bus"

Post by Pascal_2016 »

Hello Forum,

I have an ILI9341 display 8bit data bus. This can be easily plugged into the Arduino UNO. The display works with the Arduino Library.
If I use the component "ILI9341 16 bit Interface" nothing is displayed.
What surprises me a bit is, that I can't find an 8 or 16 bit data bus in the properties.
I would like to use the display in Flowcode 8. Has anyone worked with the display for Ardoinu UNO in Flowcode and can help me?

I would be happy if someone could help me with the display.

Hello Pascal_2016

I used the ili9341 with Arduino, but I used the SPI ILI9341 component.

Hi Pascal_2016

the 8 bit mode works correctly at least on the pic32!

ili9341 controller is set via hardware in operating mode.

If yours is set in 8 bit mode, unless you can change it, the display will only work in that mode.

you can find this information in the datasheet of the ili9341 controller.

I'll post the extract for convenience

Hello,

The Connection type property allows you to select if the display is serial, 8-bit or 16-bit.

The Data[7:0] and Data[15:8] properties allow you to specify the port connections.

Or if you change the Use Ports property to No then you get individual pin properties you can set.
