3.5 tft lcd for arduino 2560ili9481 factory

I just reloaded/reran the "Bodmer_UTFT_Demo_480x320" sketch - I had to rotate the due/tft 180degrees but text is printing correctly so clearly I"m having one of those moments...

With the screen orientated correctly for the demo sketch above my bitmaps are loading upside down! (they were right way up on a ILI9486 display which is what has thrown me). I can rotate those and reload but i"ll then need to also either invert the calculation of Y axis values (GFX has 0,0 in the top left corner, normal convention is bottom left).

Since the display uses rather high value (10Kohms) series resistors for level translation with the Mega I had to slow down the write strobe significantly inside the library to get the display to work at all. The same will have to be done to get the Due library to work but that rather defeats the performance benefit of the Due when updating the display.

This is a 3.5” IPS capacitive Touchscreen Display. The module, with a resolution of 480x320, adopts ILI9488 as driver IC and SPI (4-line) communication mode. The board integrates touch chip GT911, employing I2C communication to realize multiple touchpoints controlling. The module also integrates an SD card slot allowing you to easily read the full-color bitmap. There are two modes of wiring supplied, normal pin header wiring and GDI. The latter one requires to work with a main controller board with a GDI interface (e.g. FireBeetle-M0). You can use it with only one FPC line plugging in, which reduces the complexity of the wiring. Furthermore, it features high resolution, wide viewing angle, and simple wiring, which can be used in all sorts of display applications, such as, IoT controlling device, game console, desktop event notifier, touch interface, etc.

Display brilliant colors on the Displaytech 3.5 inch TFT LCD module! This LCD display has 320 x 240 RGB resolution and uses the NewVision NV3035C single chip digital driver. The TFT driver IC supports 16M colors allowing for a range of hues to be displayed and can also support up to 22 different types of input video formats within RGB, CCIR656, and CCIR601 video formats. The 3.5” TFT is available with a touch screen panel in either resistive (single-finger or stylus pressure) or capacitive (five-finger, multi-gesture) touchscreen technology.
