esp8266 2.4 tft lcd for sale

Even though it might not be visible at first sight, there’s a tremendous amount of work behind this thing (and by ‘thing’ is meant a combination of software and hardware). When you start installing the sample Weather Station sketch, it appears that you need to install some libraries, all of them by Daniel Eichhorn: ESP8266 WeatherStation which is a WeatherUnderground client, Json Streaming Parser that helps keeping low memory profile while getting huge API responses, and Mini Grafx library that implements a VSYNC equivalent through framebuffer for embedded devices.

As you all know the are a few variants of the 1.8" TFT on the internet. With the genuine Adafruit lcd-s there are usually no problems. But when using fake ones(usually from Aliexpress) you have to make some adjustments.

Bodmers TFT_eSPI library is very awsome and rich funcionality. And the best part is that he made it to handle the pixel offsets depending on wich kind of 1.8" TFT you are using.

Then uncomment the tft height an width. And then in my case(REDTAB) uncomment for eg: #define ST7735_REDTAB. After this save it for the moment and compile sketch and upload to board. To be sure i have defined the parameters in the sketch too.This is a bit long procedure, cause you have to compile and upload the sketch every time to board untill the offset is gone, but it is worth the experimenting. For editing the h. files i strongly suggest Wordpad. Images included.

I have tried david_prentice"s MCUFRIEND_kbv Library with some hacks to no avail. I tried to hack the library for ESP8266 (updated write_8 and read_8 functions in mcufriend_sheild.h and defined SUPPORT_4532) - using these connections

This person ( (146) ESP8266 and 2.4" 8-bit parallel ST7781 TFT Uno Shield - YouTube) got the same display working w/ nodeMCU (albeit their module is 5V one and has hack on the LDO).

The Bodmer/TFT_eSPI: Arduino and PlatformIO IDE compatible TFT library optimised for the Raspberry Pi Pico (RP2040), STM32, ESP8266 and ESP32 that supports different driver chips (github.com) library says 8 bit parallel is not possible w/ ESP8266 because of shortage of GPIOs - but ESP8266 has 16 GPIOs (out of which 4 are SPI). I don"t plan on using touch or SD card functionality anyways. The LCD requires 8(data) + 4 (Control) + 1 = 13 pins, which should fit in the 16 provided by ESP8266 ? Please let me know if I am missing anything.

Anyways - the first question at hand would be - is it possible to run 8 bit parallel tft w/ ESP8266, followed by - which library can do the job if possible.

It is a 2.0 inch TFT display module.TFT liquid crystal has a semiconductor switch for each pixel,and each pixel can be directly controlled by dot pulses,so each node is relatively independent and can be continuous...

The code in this project supports an ILI9341 240x320 TFT display with code running on an ESP8266. To get you up and running in no time we created a kit which contains all the necessary parts including a custom PCB to connect display and WiFi chip:
