VTFT new hardware pattern for 8bit pic controller

#1 Post by peres » 03 Jun 2020 22:46

Hello to Everyone,

I'm trying to set a new hardware pattern in VisualTFT related to this configuration:
EasyPIC v7 dev. board
PIC18F26K22 MCU
ConnectEVE (ft800) display
mikroBasic PRO for PIC compiler

Usually, I use PIC24 or PIC33 MCUs with ConnectEVE and VTFT without any problem.
Now I decided to use an 8-bit controller given the fact my recent project needs only 4 I/O pins.

I'm using SPI2 with pin assignment according to the chip's datasheet:
/CS RB0
SCK RB1
SDI RB2
SDO RB3

I tried to make a new hardware-pattern in VTFT from an existing PIC33 one but no success right now.
First I tried to add only one EveButton to Screen1 with not any event code yet. My only desire at this point to make that single button appear on the ConnectEVE screen.
The VTFT and the compiler work together well, with no error messages or problems during compilation. After loading the code to the MCU it starts to communicate with the ft800. The TFT backlit starts working, but that's all I can achieve. No button on the screen. I checked all lines with my MSO scope's digital channels. /SS line, SCK, MISO, MOSI all seem to be working well (?).
Can somebody pls. help me with a working VTFT configuration or with any other idea where to start to solve this?

(hereby I attach the zip of the project)

thanx in advance: z. peres
