NHD-3.5-320240FT-CSXN-CTP
« on: August 05, 2019, 04:23:46 PM »

I am trying to evaluate this display to possibly go into our product. But I am having trouble reading the Chip ID. It returns a zero. I am using a PIC24 in an Explorer 16/32 to drive the display with the SPI in master mode. Shouldn't I connect the SDO pin of the PIC to the SDI pin of the display? I don't see data being returned on the SDI pin of the PIC. I read one post say to slow the SPI clock down to below 1Mhz. I did this and it didn't help. Below is my Start up sequence. I copied this from the FT81x Simple PIC Application. BTW, the FT813 is used on this display.

Code: [Select]
void APP_Init(void) {
    // ----------------------- Cycle PD pin to reset device --------------------
   
    MCU_PDlow();                                                                // PD low to reset device                                                               

    MCU_Delay_20ms();

    MCU_PDhigh();                                                               // PD high again

    MCU_Delay_20ms();
   

    // ---------------------- Delay to allow start-up --------------------   
   
    EVE_CmdWrite(0x44, 0x00);           // 0x44 = HostCMD_CLKEXT

    EVE_CmdWrite(FT81x_ACTIVE, 0x00);                                           // Sends 00 00 00 to wake FT8xx

    MCU_Delay_500ms();                                                          // 500ms delay (EVE requires at least 300ms here))
    // FT80x_selection - Uncomment these four lines below if using FT800 e.g. VM800B
//    EVE_CmdWrite(0x44, 0x00);           // 0x44 = HostCMD_CLKEXT
//    EVE_CmdWrite(0x62, 0x00);           // 0x64 = HostCMD_CLK48M
//    EVE_CmdWrite(0x68, 0x00);           // 0x68 = HostCMD_CORE RESET
//    EVE_CmdWrite(0x40, 0x00);           // 0x40 = HostCMD_GPUACTIVE
   
    // --------------- Check that FT8xx ready and SPI comms OK -----------------
   

    while (EVE_MemRead8(REG_ID) != 0x7C)                                        // Read REG_ID register (0x302000) until reads 0x7C
    {
    }


    while (EVE_MemRead8(REG_CPURESET) != 0x00)                                  // Ensure CPUreset register reads 0 and so FT8xx is ready   
    {
    }

    // ------------------------- Display settings ------------------------------

    // display parameters
    lcdWidth = 320; // Active width of LCD display
    lcdHeight = 240; // Active height of LCD display
    lcdHcycle = 408; // Total number of clocks per line
    lcdHoffset = 70; // Start of active line

    lcdHsync1 = 10; // End of horizontal sync pulse
    lcdVcycle = 263; // Total number of lines per screen
    lcdVoffset = 13; // Start of active screen

Hello,

I believe the Newhaven displays require some extra configuration during initialization.
You can find their example code at the following:
https://github.com/NewhavenDisplay/EVE2-TFT-Modules/tree/master/3.5in/Capacitive

It should be easy enough to port this to the library you are using.

Best Regards,

But there is no projects for the PIC. What exactly is the is the FT90x. I see that there is a project for this. The display I am using is the FT813 GPU.

Hello,

Yes, that is correct, but again you should be able to take the settings/configuration defined in those examples and utilise them in the library you are using.

The FT90x is our series of MCUs, you can find our more at the following:
