Non-OLED/Nextion Screens
Non-OLED/Nextion Screens
I have a 1.8in TFT-LCD color screen. Can it work with PI-Star? Is so can anyone direct me to or thru the steps to get it to work?
Re: Non-OLED/Nextion Screens
I have no experience with that type of screen, but FYI, here are the Type of Display Choices in the MMDVMHost Configuration section of Pi-Star's Configuration page:
OLED, Nextion, HD44780, TFT Serial, or LCDproc

Definitely SPI, I tried to connect one to my hotspot and no surprise it didn't work. Nextion is serial HMI, this one is SPI based.Uses the hardware SPI pins (SCK, MOSI, MISO, CE0, CE1) as well as GPIO #25 and #24. GPIO #18 can be used to PWM dim the backlight if you like. All other GPIO are unused.
