It is possible to connect this LCD TFT screen to the raspberry 3 model B please ? I don’t understand the schematic for SPI connection. Any help is welcome thank you.
I have follow this answer but it does not help me anymore.
Probably this library can help me for the driver, but I do not know how to connect that.
Question
SPI 2.8″ TFT LCD ILI9341
Rpi3B OK?
Answer
Well, 60% chance OK.
First thing first – check out spec and schematic.
The OP’s question is clear, and his reference web links are very good. So I followed his links and jot down a picture of the wiring.
The drive/library referred by the OP is a couple of years old, and no longer supported. So I need to google to catch up.
so I googled and found everybody is using the ILI19341 de facto standard. That means all ILI19341 are more or less the same and can be used with any such driver. I searched AliExpress and found the following typical goody.
I google to catch up and the the found the following tutorial looking good.
ILI9341 Raspberry Pi guide – pi0cket 2019feb26
It gives a clear wiring (see Reference below), and the detailed instructions and commands to switch between HDMI mon and TFT screen.
One thing I am not that happy is the following:
You cannot use HDMI monitor and TFT touch screen at the same time!

Thank you very much, I have already seen (hover over) all the tutorials provided but I do not understand how to connect “BL” (from ILI9341 Raspberry Pi guide – pi0cket) for example, I can not see it on the diagram (that you kindly highlighted me). Another remark is for pin SPI_SDO, SPI_SDA there is NC / SPI_, the NC scares me … – Ephemeral 6 hours ago

It would be with great pleasure but I would not want to take up too much of your time. – Ephemeral 6 hours ago

Ah I see your problem. They are using hard to understand geek language. “NC” usually means “No Connection”. “BL” usually means “Back Lit”. The module has 4 white LED which can back light the background. No problem for me drawing anything. It take me very littl time. – tlfong01 5 hours ago

Thank you very much again for all your explanations. I think at this time,
GPIO9 -> LCD_RD , GPIO10 -> LCD_WR, GPIO8 -> LCD_CSbut for RESET and RS (Register Select ?) no definition on pinout shematic for the raspberry. Maybe these pins can be any pin gpio (declared in the driver source file?) raspberry pinout – Ephemeral 5 hours ago -
Yes, it is confusing. I am trying to make some educational guesses, as in the coming updated picture. BTW, my answer is not just for you, but a follow up of other touch screens answers for newbies. For me it is just like a jigsaw puzzle, which is my hobby of playing electronics toys. Now I am going to meet a friend for supper. So see you tomorrow. Have a nice project! – tlfong01 5 hours ago

I can not thank you enough. Have a good dinner. I will work with the elements of your updated answer. – Ephemeral 4 hours ago
