OK So I see two issues.

1. You should use SDMMC on Wrover-Kit
2. If you want to use SPI and use the LCD as well, you need to init first a new SPI port (HSPI) and then init the SD card to use that port.

LCD and SD do not share pins and the SPI port is going to the device initialised last.

Hi ESP_Me-no-dev, thank you for looking into this.

Your advice on both SD and LCD on SPI absolutely makes sense, there should be different names for different SPI buses, duh!!

Doing that helps, but there is still an issue.

My modified code:

      {
        Serial.println();
      }
    }
  }
}
The result is SD working normally, but the LCD screen is white.

- Then I tried removing the SD card and rebooting. The LCD is working!!!
- I put back the SD card without rebooting, SD and SdFat working, lcd black but is not printing anything new.
- Removing the SD again, the LCD is working.

But because 1 picture is 0x3E7 words:
Image

So the question is: Is it possible to have the (SPI)LCD and SD working simultaneously?

(I have read that some ppl are suggesting removing R167. Is that recommended? That 0Ω resistor is connecting the CD pin of the SD to the D/C pin of the LCD and then this line is pulled up with a 10k. What are the drawbacks of having the CD pin floating? If R167 is removed and then CD is pulled up to 3V3 from another root would that work or does SD need IO21?)

ever it still bodders me and sorry for your effort.

So my final moment to throw the towel is;

Confusing pin-out.
SD as you told HSPI CS 15, CLK 14, MISO 12, MOSI 13 ok no problem

The TFT: VSPI RST 19, CS 5, D/C 22 (conflict with my sensor on 21 and 22 SCL/SDA) , DIN 23, clk 18

as far as I understand no pins should be used by both.

For now I,am happy.
Thanks .

Hi ESP_Me-no-dev, thank you for looking into this.

Your advice on both SD and LCD on SPI absolutely makes sense, there should be different names for different SPI buses, duh!!

Doing that helps, but there is still an issue.

My modified code:

Code: Select all

#include <WiFiClient.h>
#include <WiFi.h>
#include <esp_wifi.h>
#include <ESP32Ping.h>
#include <HTTPClient.h>

#define USE_SDIO 0
SdFat sd((SPIClass*)&SD_SPI);


// global for card size
uint32_t cardSize;
// global for card erase size
uint32_t eraseSize;
// store error strings in flash
#define sdErrorMsg(msg) sd.errorPrint(F(msg));

      {
        Serial.println();
      }
    }
  }
}
The result is SD working normally, but the LCD screen is white.

- Then I tried removing the SD card and rebooting. The LCD is working!!!
- I put back the SD card without rebooting, SD and SdFat working, lcd black but is not printing anything new.
- Removing the SD again, the LCD is working.

But because 1 picture is 0x3E7 words:
Image

So the question is: Is it possible to have the (SPI)LCD and SD working simultaneously?

(I have read that some ppl are suggesting removing R167. Is that recommended? That 0Ω resistor is connecting the CD pin of the SD to the D/C pin of the LCD and then this line is pulled up with a 10k. What are the drawbacks of having the CD pin floating? If R167 is removed and then CD is pulled up to 3V3 from another root would that work or does SD need IO21?)

Bump!

Any news on the matter?
