Please help me w/ my 2.4 mcufriend TFT on my Mega2560.

I've followed any instructions I can find, including:

2.4" TFT LCD Shield isn't working on Arduino Mega

I still get a show white screen. I wonder if my TFT is different or is it broken? Mine looks like this:

I did run the example code from SWtft. I got this output on serial:

TFT LCD test

LCD driver chip: 6TFT LCD test
LCD driver chip: 6767
Benchmark                Time (microseconds)

I have one of these TFT LCD shields, but mine is a ILI9335. It has taken me nearly 2 weeks to find a working Library and code for my 9335 driver and I am now setting about creating sketches based around my working Library. Library - TFTLCD using st7783 controller Unfortunately most sellers of these shields (excluding good reputable companies) do not adivise of which Driver is onboard the shield and it becomes difficult to locate a working Library for the driver of the purchased shield.

ALSO, check that the Libraries you have are working for your version of Arduino IDE. Some of my libraries would not compile in v1.0.5 but will in v1.6.3 (and vice versa) If there is no Library specific to your 6767 Driver (and I must say I have not seen one in my searches for the 9335 Driver) then you may have to download as many different Libraries to locate a sketch that works for yours. Once you have a working Library then it is just a matter of modifying it for your purposes.

Good luck in finding a working solution for your shield.

There are several of these boards on sale (mostly from China).

The following IDs of the different chips are taken from a file named mcufriend_kbv_2_8.txt from an archive named Mcufriend_kbv_2.8.zip which provides a whole library(supposely an UTFT fork) supporting these PCBs. Here in the Arduino.cc forum is one of the download links.

----- HX8347-A 240x320  ID=0x8347 new Untested
ILI9320  240x320  ID=0x9320
ILI9325  240x320  ID=0x9325

----- S6D0139  240x320  ID=0x0139 removed due to lack of tester

----- SSD1963  800x480  ID=0x1963 new Untested

ST7781   240x320  ID=0x7783
ST7789V  240x320  ID=0x7789

A white screen is the result of choosing the wrong chip. Choose the right one (by ID) and it will work.

  1. You need to modify these #define parameters of TouchScreen() from

    #define YP A3
#define XM A2
#define YM 9
#define XP 8

    to

    #define YP A2    
#define XM A1
#define YM 6
#define XP 7

  2. Only insert the 4th line if (identifier == 0x6767) identifier = 0x7575; into setup() as below

............

  tft.reset();

  uint16_t identifier = tft.readID();

  if(identifier==0x0101)
      identifier=0x9341;

  if (identifier == 0x6767)
      identifier = 0x7575;

  if(identifier == 0x9325) {

    Serial.println("Found ILI9325 LCD driver");

  } else if(identifier == 0x4535) {

    Serial.println("Found LGDP4535 LCD driver");

  }else if(identifier == 0x9328) {

    Serial.println("Found ILI9328 LCD driver");

  } else if(identifier == 0x7575) {

    Serial.println("Found HX8347G LCD driver");

  } else if(identifier == 0x9341) {

    Serial.println("Found ILI9341 LCD driver");

  } else if(identifier == 0x8357) {

    Serial.println("Found HX8357D LCD driver");

  } else {

    Serial.print("Unknown LCD driver chip: ");

    Serial.println(identifier, HEX);

    Serial.println("If using the Adafruit 2.4\" TFT Arduino shield, the line:");

    Serial.println("  #define USE_ADAFRUIT_SHIELD_PINOUT");

    Serial.println("should appear in the library header (Adafruit_TFT.h).");

    Serial.println("If using the breakout board, it should NOT be #defined!");

    Serial.println("Also if using the breakout, double-check that all wiring");

    Serial.println("matches the tutorial.");

    return;

  }
  1. Try it.

Most likely not supported controller or disabled in .cpp file. Firstly find out your ID like for example ID=0x6767. Then look in the MCUFRIEND_kvb library folder "extras" to enable support for example in our case 0x6767 is 8347D. Lastly go to library root and edit MCUFRIEND_kvd.cpp and uncomment asin ou example: #define SUPPORT_8347D. Save the modified .cpp file then upload example graphic test.
