Need sample code for ILI9488 LCD on SPI Interface

Postby Ritesh » Tue Apr 18, 2017 6:48 am

Hi,

I am working on ESP32 chip and there is one requirement in which I need to driver one LCD which ILI9488 based MircroTech TFT LCD.

I have checked into ESP32 SPI Master Example and found that there is one example of ILI9341 which is different than ILI9488 LCD.

So, Please let me know if anyone has ported any example based on ILI9488 LCD for ESP32 chip on SPI Interface.
Regards,
Ritesh Prajapati

Hi,

I have checked ILI9341-based spi_master example and changed initialization sequence for ILI9488 module. I have also checked that initialization process was completed successfully without any issue.

But, I am not getting any color bars which are mentioned into display_pretty_colors API.

So, Please let me know if anyone has checked spi_master example over ILI9488 320 X 480 LCD.
Regards,
Ritesh Prajapati

I have one ILI9488 based LCD Display module and will test it this weekend or early next week...

Hi,

But for that, do you have sample code to start development for ILI9488 LCD as I have checked into spi_master code and found sample code for ILI9341 LCD which is different then ILI9488 LCD.

So, Please provide me sample source code for ILI9488 if you have

Looking here:

http://www.instructables.com/id/Arduino ... 88-SPI-In/

It would appear that the ILI9488 is close to the ILI9341. Looks like you could just about follow this instructables tutorial mapping from Arduino to ESP32.

Hi,

Thanks for quick reply.

First of all, I have check SPI Master code which is provided for ILI9341 LCD and updated it for ILI9488 with it's initialization sequence by taking one reference code in which ILI9488 has been verified for ESP8266 using Adrafruit.

So, it should be worked but somehow not getting anything over LCD.

So, I have checked Reset,DC, CS and MOSI pin which are toggling while communication is going on.

Let me know your suggestion for that. I will also share my code as well.

Hi,

If anyone has developed and check ILI9488 using ESP32-IDF on ESP32 board then provide me sample code for that.

Hi,

Please find my below whole code which I have shared here.

/*
 This code displays some fancy graphics on the ILI9341-based 320x240 LCD on an ESP-WROVER_KIT board.
 It is not very fast, even when the SPI transfer itself happens at 8MHz and with DMA, because
 the rest of the code is not very optimized. Especially calculating the image line-by-line
 is inefficient; it would be quicker to send an entire screenful at once. This example does, however,
 demonstrate the use of both spi_device_transmit as well as spi_device_queue_trans/spi_device_get_trans_result
 as well as pre-transmit callbacks.

 Some info about the ILI9341: It has an C/D line, which is connected to a GPIO here. It expects this
 line to be low for a command and high for data. We use a pre-transmit callback here to control that
 line: every transaction has as the user-definable argument the needed state of the D/C line and just
 before the transaction is sent, the callback will set this line to the correct state.

    display_pretty_colors(spi);
    ESP_LOGI(TAG, "display_pretty_colors calling");
}

So, Can anyone review that code and check that is there any wrong configuration inside code?

As I am using HSPI Interface in master mode and want to access ILI9488 based LCD which 320X480. I have also checked SPI Clock which is not getting proper after running above example as set 500 KHz, 1 MHz, 10 MHz.

Please let me know if anything wrong in that code.
