16 BIT HX8357C

Any wiring diagram from my 3.2 tft lcd screen shield (16 bit hx8375c) to my “bluepill” ? I connected with my own but it appears only a white screen seems my wiring is messes me.

I use this library from stevestrong https://github.com/stevstrong/Adafruit_ … 6bit_STM32 and use the graphic test example and outputs the serial , this

TFT LCD test TFT size is 320x480 TFT begin done. rotation: 0, runtime: 23229 rotation: 1, runtime: 23229 rotation: 2, runtime: 23229 rotation: 3, runtime: 23230

I wired my screen to bluepill like this

those things generally assume a set of wiring that’s consistent with the hardware. so you just need to make sure that your wiring matches the code – or what the code assumes. if not, change the wiring or change the code, until they match.

I think I see it , from line 77 https://github.com/stevstrong/Adafruit_ … it_STM32.h from stevs library.

Ray

Looks like i need some register port datasheet for bluepill base on stevs description of his library

nyx123 Sat Jan 20, 2018 6:51 pm

Update :

Still no display after putting all data ports in PB0-15

david.prentice Sat Jan 20, 2018 8:29 pm

The RD pin should be 3.3V when not active.

Personally, I always read ID, registers, GRAM memory …
When you get your screen going, please could you read the ID for me.

Base from the library given created by stev and the examples exist https://github.com/stevstrong/Adafruit_ … 6bit_STM32 he didnt provide any code that will be read you mentioned

disable debug pins also i think boot0/boot1 as well mess things up for port b
srp

By the discussion here http://stm32duino.com/viewtopic.php?f=1 … ins#p40009 it says that the core files was already update. Question is any idea on how to disable debug pins?

And yes I use the boot1 pin for the connection of the DB2 from the LCD, am right?

Im using stm32f103c8t6 board

arduino code is arduino code on any of win, linux and mac

the calls needed are
void enableDebugPorts(void); void disableDebugPorts(void); use disableDebugPorts(); in setup use enableDebugPorts(); in the code that terminates execution maybe on a button press ... ...

Using the latest Arduino_STM32 core from Roger you don’t need to mess up with debug ports.
BUT
You use PB2 as data pin. For this, you have to shorten (or replace) R4 (on back side of blue pill) with a wire.

I have tested the graphicstest example, it should work for you, too.
Which value do you get by reading the ID?
Please post here your latest connection.

So this is the summary of what am I doing

This is what my lcd screens looks alike https://ibb.co/muQJGw 3.2′ tft lcd screen shield, HX8357C

I use your 16 bit library https://github.com/stevstrong/Adafruit_ … 6bit_STM32 and also include the library https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit-GFX-Library and put the library under the stmf1 folder , the adafruit gfx library i rename it into Adafruit_GFX_AS

After uploading the graphic test code my serial outputs like this

TFT LCD test TFT size is 320x480 TFT begin done. rotation: 0, runtime: 23229 rotation: 1, runtime: 23229 rotation: 2, runtime: 23229 rotation: 3, runtime: 23230

stevestrong Mon Jan 22, 2018 9:26 am

There is no way around making short on R4 for PB2, because it is originally used as BOOT1 pin via R4 (100k) which should be removed.

Do you use the graphicstest example?
You have to change line 26 to:
identifier = 0x8357;

One more thing you could still try is to change this line to “#if 1” – thus enable slow control signalling.
The serial output is not relevant yet, but the display should show something.

Still white on the screen , im following this pin configuration of my lcd https://imgur.com/W1Gwtsc , when I try the lcd in due the lcd is okay maybe the problem is in the hardware I think

Which library do you use for Due? Can’t you use the same here, too?

I use bodmer`s library for due https://github.com/Bodmer/TFT_HX8357_Due I didn`t try because the library is written for due boards, am I right?
