Library for SPFD5408 TFT Controller?

#1 Post by shreevs » 16 Jan 2018 16:19

Hello,
I am thinking of developing some project with TFT screen. The sources here in India offer 2.4" TFT at aroung INR. 500 - 600 (around $8-9). But most of them have SPFD5408 as TFT controller and checking the list of contollers supported by visual TFT, the SPFD5408 does not make it to the list. Does this controller has some other name and is supported by Visual TFT? Please guide me on how to start the development. I can purchase some display from Mikroe to start development, but the cost would not be viable in actual project.

Thank You
Shree

P.S. I am thinking of using PIC18F67K22. Is it a good chip to start with?

Hi,

I recommend that you buy any TFT which has the ILI9341 display controller.

You can find them very cheap.

Also, make sure to use an MCU with more memory. I would recommend using PIC18F87K22.

Kind regards,
