External Serial Display not working
Posted: Thu Jun 07, 2018 11:05 am
Hello everyone,
I'm trying to use this display http://www.elstore.it/wp-content/upload ... 64BKWT.pdf with an esp32. It has a NT7534 controller.
I want to connect it via SPI interface to an ESP32 DevKitC, using the esp-idf.
Initially I tried using the U8g2 library with the setup function; since it didn't work I moved to a direct spi communication (starting from the spi_master example). However I'm having bad luck with that as well.
The display initialization procedure should be really simple, and after that I simply flush in some lines to see if anything appears, but the screen is always unresponsive.
The screen is connected to my ESP32 (through a breakboard) in the following way:
CS -> IO22
DC(RS) -> IO21
RESET -> IO18
R/W -> GROUND
E -> GROUND
D0...D5 -> GROUND
MOSI -> IO23
CLK -> IO19
P/S -> GROUND
I have also added the necessary external capacitors. I checked all the lines with the oscilloscope and everything seems to be working properly (clean signals, correct timings,...). Assuming that my hardware configuration is correct, could someone take a look at my code and tell me if I'm doing anything wrong?
