Using the TFT protoboard a LV24-33 v6 board and VisualTFT

[pp_314156]

The link here is a step-by-step guide to get these two working together including a wiring diagram. A few things were not obvious: threshold needs to be about 700, turning on the LEDs on the board interferes with the touch pad, and one of the generated lines of code needs to be commented out. I hope it helps someone.

Hello,
can this be used with PIC32 MCUs?
I currently have PIC32MX development board and TFT proto. I need a low pin TFT connection (just on port E and control bits). When I make some test with Visual TFT with pin configuration like on the picture 1 i got situation on the picture 2.
Only when higher bits are on i got good picture, like the one on the picture 3. I think that this is because TFT on development board is set in 16bit mode, but if the board is in 8 bit mode(when i configure tft proto to use 8 bits 0011) what is happening with the rest of bits, because i see on my development board that when the screen is being refreshed 16 data bits are used(leds areblinking).
How to set up Visual TFT not to do this but to send only data to port E(PMD0-PMD7)+control bits?

Thanks in advance

Hello,

TFT on this system is connected to PMMODE pins, and VisualTFT sets this port in 16 bit mode.
Please notice that this is configured in MCU_Init routine and also you will have to modify Write_Data function if you want to make it work in 8bit mode.

Best regards.
