Problem - driving TFT 80x160 ST7735 display

[classic-audio]

I have now been working on TFT TFT 80x160 ST7735 display for several days until I realised your replay to the previus issue. It is possible to re-install older versions. I ha ve 3 major project using this display and after the update to your latest version non of the prjects were funtional. At the same time I have ordered new displays and of course I was thinking that was the problem.

But no. I replaced the current version of the library with 1.5.5. and all my sketches worked again.

There is still a color definition problem but I solved that by changing: File: Adafruit_ST77xx.h

define ST77xx_MADCTL_RGB 0x00

changed too

define ST77xx_MADCTL_RGB 0x08

I hope you will fix your "updates" It will be a long time from now before I will implement updates again !!!

Thank you for opening an issue on an Adafruit Arduino library repository. To improve the speed of resolution please review the following guidelines and common troubleshooting steps below before creating the issue:

• Do not use GitHub issues for troubleshooting projects and issues. Instead use the forums at http://forums.adafruit.com to ask questions and troubleshoot why something isn't working as expected. In many cases the problem is a common issue that you will more quickly receive help from the forum community. GitHub issues are meant for known defects in the code. If you don't know if there is a defect in the code then start with troubleshooting on the forum first.

• If following a tutorial or guide be sure you didn't miss a step. Carefully check all of the steps and commands to run have been followed. Consult the forum if you're unsure or have questions about steps in a guide/tutorial.

• For Arduino projects check these very common issues to ensure they don't apply:

  • For uploading sketches or communicating with the board make sure you're using a USB data cable and not a USB charge-only cable. It is sometimes very hard to tell the difference between a data and charge cable! Try using the cable with other devices or swapping to another cable to confirm it is not the problem.

  • Be sure you are supplying adequate power to the board. Check the specs of your board and plug in an external power supply. In many cases just plugging a board into your computer is not enough to power it and other peripherals.

  • Double check all soldering joints and connections. Flakey connections cause many mysterious problems. See the guide to excellent soldering for examples of good solder joints.

  • Ensure you are using an official Arduino or Adafruit board. We can't guarantee a clone board will have the same functionality and work as expected with this code and don't support them.

If you're sure this issue is a defect in the code and checked the steps above please fill in the following fields to provide enough troubleshooting information. You may delete the guideline and text above to just leave the following details:

• Arduino board: INSERT ARDUINO BOARD NAME/TYPE HERE

• Arduino IDE version (found in Arduino -> About Arduino menu): INSERT ARDUINO VERSION HERE

• List the steps to reproduce the problem below (if possible attach a sketch or copy the sketch code in too): LIST REPRO STEPS BELOW

Hi, is the specific Mini TFT display you are using an Adafruit product? Which board/microcontroller are you using to drive your MiniTFT? The reason I ask is because I would like to be able to reproduce this and make sure changing one thing doesn't break things for others. Thanks.

The display (picture attached below. Microcontroller used: Arduino UNO Arduino Nano Arduino ProMini3V3

I have been using all these controller because I was trying to indetify whats wrong. UNO and Nano was used with a level shift of course.

I would really hope you also solve the color problem at the same time :)

The problem with the latest of your update is: no display at all or very weak strange display or the display "snow only".

It seems there may be a difference between the Adafruit 160x80 and this brand. In regards to the color scheme, I believe the adafruit one is BGR and this one says RGB. There may be other differences.

So no solution at all.

[makermelissa]

Just no solution yet. I'm thinking we may need an additional init parameter for these types of displays so that the differences are initialized and it works correctly.

What happens now?

Please check if my pull-request #126 can solve the problem.
