kedei 3.5 inch spi tft lcd arduino supplier
Is there a chance of getting it working with an Arduino Uno R3 or Mega2560? The graphics libraries that use SPI that I"ve found keep mentioning the RST and DC lines, which aren"t present on this board.
I haven"t had the opportunity to try it on a Raspberry Pi yet. From pinouts of raspi (googled images) they only have one long strip of GPIO/etc connectors, do they not? Even if plugging this board onto the 40-pin connector, where the two 5V pins match up, on the raspi the opposing two aren"t GND, they"re listed as "+3,3V" and "SDA". Something tells me that.. well, either I"m missing something, or this display needs some form of connector between itself and the raspi it"s meant to run off originally. (Oddly enough, they came with raspi-with-TFT-on-top plastic enclosures, which wouldn"t leave any space for rewiring pins.)
I doubt it. It would be a lot cleaner with regular SPI for both. You just change mode each time. e.g. 9-bit mode #3 for TFT. 8-bit mode #0 for the XPT.
Ah-ha. The HC595 is a shift register. They might use them to produce 16-bit parallel to drive the TFT. If they do, it will be a nightmare. Even worse than 9-bit SPI.
Well, it"ll be interesting to see if I get this to work eventually. A quick guess would be that with L_CS pulled low, the LCD chip gets to talk with the MISO/MOSI lines. After initializing it, I suppose the next step will be to (read datasheet..) and see if the MISO/MOSI-lines are used to clock out display data with L_CS high so the LCD chip doesn"t listen to that garbage, or if it is meant to be fed through the LCD chip aswell.
16-bit modules are cheaper than SPI display modules. So it is quite possible that he has crippled the display with shift registers instead of buying a proper SPI module.
Oh, this makes it easier - googling for the tarball I needed (lcd_show_v6 for my board since it"s got "v6.1" printed on it) got me to OsoYooTFT/README.md at master · jgamblin/OsoYooTFT · GitHub and http://en.kedei.net/raspberry/raspberry.html
Hrmm.. I don"t think source is included. In the lcd_show_xx blobs are just kernels and modules, with a couple of very small scripts to copy the LED or HDMI kernel to the /boot place of the filesystem. (And no error checking, if you try copying the LED kernel, it backups the original kernel, but if you then run the copy-LED-kernel command again, it happily overwrites your original kernel, leaving you with two LED-enabled kernels and no original. hrrf..)
Well, I downloaded the whole 35MB .GZ file. Unpacked it and found 3402 .ko files. I presume that these are kernel object files. Nothing that looked remotely like source files for your TFT display.
Since the ILI9481 can be driven directly by SPI, this seems a crazy way to do things. Especially since a HC595 might be clockable at 100MHz but you need to wiggle all 24-bits. And an AVR can only manage 8MHz on a good day.
Not when you consider that once you have loaded an 18 bit colour all you need to do is toggle the T_CS pin at say 10MHz and you can load the same pixels sequentially at 10Mpixels/s (=180Mbps) i.e. clear the screen faster than it is refreshed. With SPI you have to keep serially sending the same pixel N bits of colour over and over again, which is very inefficient. In the worst case (where sequential pixels are different colours) the shift register still wins if you can clock it faster than an SPI link maximum rate (easy on higher performance computers) because the same number of bits need to be clocked whatever interface is used.
This suggests more control bit are shifted in than is actually needed, but my hunch of an 18 bit + control parallel interface to the TFT seems to be correct.
That aside, I sort of assume I"ll need a 3,3V logic converter, since the rpi has 3,3v GPIO pins and most arduinos have 5V? So I don"t accidentally burn out the display chips.
Yes, I expect that bodmer or myself could probably get you working if we made some inspired guessing with the schematic. You could always email Kedei and ask him for the genuine schematic. Make sure that you tell him the Revision number(s) on the pcb.
I had success with downloading Kedei"s 4GB images specific for the 6.1 board and putting on an SD card. Now the raspi boots up, and I see the boot messages scroll by. The original article said "expect about 6fps from the display" and that seems right - it"s jerky, but works.
I"m going to order a couple of logic level converters now (a pair of 74LVC245 should do nicely on a breadboard), and then I can poke at it from an arduino environment.
I"ve gotten the level converters now, and experimented a little, with no results but a plain white screen. I copied the "init commands" code from the Linux source for ILI9341, which are the closest thing I could see in the patch made by KeDei for any init-code, plugged an arduino Uno in via a level converter from 5v down to 3v3, with SCK/MOSI/MISO from arduino pins 13/12/11, and pin 9 to toggle L_CS, keeping it HIGH but pulling it LOW for 1 to 5 milliseconds after each 4-byte SPI write.
Eventually I tried without the level converter too, since the 74HC595 datasheet said it could handle "up to Vcc" on the input pins, Vcc being max 6V. But that was after trying a lot of combinations in the code; all the variations of SPISettings in Arduino"s SPI library, for transferring four bytes one at a time (someone else who also looked at these displays found out that the registers always want four bytes - and that the first byte is always 0x0 !). Also doing as you suggested with an extra "DC command bit" so that the "bytes" were 9-bits wide, ending in a zero bit to indicate "command". No luck, ah well.. And I can"t even be sure that either the display is an ILI9341 just because the sales page said so (others had gotten similar displays with another drive chip), or that the code in the kernel source matches this KeDei-version of the display.

This is a modified version of the official PJRC ILI9341_t3 library (https://github.com/PaulStoffregen/ILI9341_t3) to work with KeDei Raspberry Pi displays.
And it is always a Work In Progress. Also using a lot of work from the the Raspberry Pi implementation: https://github.com/cnkz111/RaspberryPi_KeDei_35_lcd_v62
This library was created to allow extended use on the KeDei Raspberry Pi display and supports T3.5, t3.6 T4 and beyond. It also has support for other T3.x boards as well as TLC.
Your SPI communications on this board does not go directly to display but instead go to three shift registers. There are also two SPI Chip select pins, one labeled, which looks like it is for the Display and the other looks like it is for the touch controller. This is partially true.
However the SPI communications with the display are a lot different than any other I have seen. For example there are no reset pins, nor a Data/Command(DC) pin. Instead this information is encoded into the SPI data that you send to the display.
We figured it out, as the RPI startup code, did several strange SPI transfers at the beginning, which appeared like they were directed to the XPT2046 Touch controller.
This library borrows some concepts and functionality from another ILI9341 library, https://github.com/KurtE/ILI9341_t3n. It also incorporates functionality from the TFT_ILI9341_ESP, https://github.com/Bodmer/TFT_ILI9341_ESP, for additional functions:
The teensy 3.6 and now 3.5 have a lot more memory than previous Teensy processors, so on these boards, I borrowed some ideas from the ILI9341_t3DMA library and added code to be able to use a logical Frame Buffer. To enable this I added a couple of API"s
Place the Adafruit_ILI9341 library folder your arduinosketchfolder/libraries/ folder. You may need to create the libraries subfolder if its your first library. Restart the IDE
While googling for any info about lcd controller I came across this page: http://heikki.virekunnas.fi/2015/raspberry-pi-tft/, author managed to get from manufacturer patch file for kernel sources and tested it with 4.1.y - on which lcd worked. But still LCD replace HDMI, but I want to use this screen as additional for user interaction, while the bigger on HDMI as presentation monitor.
Since, fbtft has been merged with rpi kernel, so the fb drivers (including ili9341.c) was moved to fbtft_device driver (so the author of page can"t compile latest kernel with driver+patch).
So something about hardware, which I reverse engineered by the "hard way" - "grab multimeter and run through all LCD FPC pins and shift register pins"
Now I noticed there is "9486L" which can suggest that LCD screen is controlled by ILI9486L, I found this LCD on taobao too but I can"t contact seller.
I"m pretty sure about D/C (Pin 37 on LCD) and Reset (Pin 19 on LCD) pins by looking into driver code, but I can"t identify other signals (WR/RD/CS/etc...)
- Controller is not ILI9341/ILI9325 - those are for smaller displays (320x240, etc...), I guess this might be ILI9486/9488 because they are for 480x320 displays. But when I compared init with DS it does not fit right so LCD can have a clone of ILI9486/9488 ...
- Module use only SPI interface and two CE signals (CE0 for touch controller, CE1 for LCD shift registers - compared to others lcd modules, in KeDei module this is swapped),
When surfing for information on 3.5 ” TFT touchscreens for the Raspberry Pi,to improve the TinyLCD experience, I stumbled upon AliExpress where several shops offer a 3.5″ LCD TFT Touch Screen Display for incredible low prices.
Update June 2016: There is now a download/information page at http://osoyoo.com/driver/rpiscreen.php. Images for more versions (mine i 2.0, latest is 6.2) are available there. Alternative ishttp://kedei.net/raspberry/raspberry.html with Kali Ubuntu drivers too for version 3.0 and up.
The archive contains an image of Raspbian with the LCD driver installed. The image is quite current, and fit for B, B+ or 2 B. When I bought the screen an older image, build in augustus 2015, was downloadable, the kernel is quite fresh built, early October 2015.
The image supplied is wheezy, 3.18.9-v7 #27 SMP PREEMPT Sun Oct 4 23:57:41 CST 2015 armv7l. So quite a recent system! Also the Model 1 B and B+ kernel is present, also just current wheezy.
The system uses SPI to copy the screen contents to the LCD screen, and some GPIO’s for the touchscreen. Other GPIOs are free, and the connector construction leaves these pins indeed accessible!
This LCD Touchscreen HAT fits snuggly on top of the Raspberry Pi, practically form fitting on top of it so as not to compromise the overall dimensions of the credit card sized single board computer. The resistive touchscreen provides you with an easy way to display information coming off of the Raspberry Pi and the OS currently running on it.
The 4:3 aspect ratio backlit LCD equipped on this HAT possesses a resolution of 480 by 320 pixels with over 65 thousand colors and an SPI interface with a 16MHz driver speed. Simply plug the 13x2 GPIO header into your desired Raspberry Pi and you"ll be able to start using your new resistive touch screen!
3) pls try to install the image with raspbian and 3.5 driver and try it again: https://osoyoo.com/2016/05/26/osoyoo-lcd-touch-screen-for-raspberry-pi-installation-guide/
Hey Nikeron, is the used module really an ILI9325? Maybe we could then traceback the display connection and reverse-engineer it. From that point on when the schematics are released for everyone to build those displays themselfes, we could hack it then and create a free driver?
I downloaded RetroPie from https://retropie.org.uk/docs/First-Installation/ and have been trying to get my 3.5″ LCD to work. I downloaded the driver from http://kedei.net/raspberry/raspberry.html as described, but whenever I try and extract it with the “tar xzvf LCD_show_v6_1_3.tar.gz” around 50 lines are executed and then the Pi crashes. When I restart it, it goes into a kernel panic every time. I’ve reinstalled my OS multiple times. I cannot download the raspbian distro with the driver because I have been unable to install RetroPie on top of it and have been unable to display it on the LCD.
Do you mean you don’t want to install the LCD driver but just install OS? If so, this LCD can’t work, but you can search a 3.5 HDMI LCD in our store and it works with just OS for display function.
Hi, I got version 6.3 of the screen. I tried installing it on the latest Raspbian with latest drivers from kedei.net. But when the Raspberry starts booting, the screen only works for a few seconds before being frozen. ( Raspberry works, only screen is frozen ).
I had this happen initially. To resolve it I DISABLED SPI under raspi-config and then also set the bootup settings to be Desktop. I have a weird keyboard and the CTRL-ALT Fn keys didn’t work right, but normally CTRL-ALT-F1 or F7 change you from terminal to desktop virtual sessions in Linux.

Hello, I have been able to install the driver and play/switch between LCD & HDMI, now is there any way to turn off the white screed or turn off LCD when Im not using it? Thanks
The LCD doesn’t do anything else. Initially I had the Memory split set to 16MB – but this through up a memory error on the LCD. Setting it higher removes this error – but still nothing else.
I orderer a 3.5″ SPI touchscreen with a Raspberry Pi 2 and a case, thinking it would be easy to set up, as it seemed to be like the one here. Unfortunately that was not the case.
With some googling I found out it was made by KeDei LCD and exactly this screen. Identifying strings on the screens were “Madei in KeDei of china”, “3.5 linch SPI TFTLCD”, “480*320 16bit/18bit” and “vision 1.0 2015/6/11”. I hope the guys who made this screen can write code better than english… Seems like it requires custom drivers by KeDei. Drivers could be downloaded from Baidu and they include the diff to compile your custom kernel. I haven’t compiled kernels before, so lets see if I could manage without doing that.
I installed Ubuntu on my Macbook Pro on an external hard drive (which is a whole another story, thanks to EFI), so I could follow instructions on Raspberry Pi pages. Compiling on RPi is quite slow (tried that overnight), so cross compiling is the way to go. Following the instructions worked pretty well, however I cloned tools to my home directory and added /home/heikki/tools/arm-bcm2708/gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-raspbian-x64/bin to my path. After that everything worked as expected. After cloning and changing branch to rpi-4.1.y I patched semi-manually from the supplied diff from KeDei, however I have uploaded my updated diff to make it easier for you. There’s instructions on patching too, but long story short it’s “cat
You should now have two framebuffer devices, /dev/fb0 and /dev/fb1. I’m not quite sure how the fbtft library interferes with the patch, as it seems to be activated too, but it works so no problem. (Actually I first activated module fb_ili9341, so you can try that too, if it contributed to my success). You can change to console to fb1 by command “con2fbmap 1 1” and back with “con2fbmap 1 0“, or on boot by editing /boot/cmdline.txt: add “fbcon=map:1” to the line somewhere. You can also change the font with “fbcon=font:ProFont6x11“. More things like this here.
I am working on simulators of point of sale devices using Arduino Uno and ATmega 2560. This application would be fine with this touch screen display as what I need is some way of simple data entry to change settings, display settings to the user, and provide a way to trigger some events.
Unfortunately when using this display with an Arduino Uno and the original KeDei TFT library, there is very little memory available for storing data due to the small amount of memory on the Arduino and the large character font array in the KeDei library in file KeDei_font.cpp. However the touch interface seems to work with the Arduino.
The ATmega 2560 has much more memory and I was planning to use an ATmega 2560 instead of an Arduino Uno however I have run into a problem with the touch interface providing incorrect touch points when using the TFT display with the ATmega 2560. I have set the jumpers on the back of the display to 2560 however I"m still seeing incorrect touch points returned.
I have cloned the Osoyoo KeDei TFT library into my GitHub repository and have been working with the library. I have made a change to the 16x16 bitmap font table const unsigned char font16_B[95][16] in file KeDei_font.cpp of the KeDei TFT library to use an 8x8 bitmap font and to also eliminate lower case letters. This change has made a significant improvement by reducing the amount of memory consumed by the KeDei TFT library.
