## Overview

This 3.5-inch TFT LCD module features a sharp 480x320 resolution with 65K colors, driven by an 8-bit parallel interface for superior refresh speed. Designed for Arduino R3 and Mega2560 boards, it includes a resistive touchscreen and an SD card socket for expanded functionality. Onboard level shifting ensures compatibility with both 3.3V and 5V systems, making it a versatile, high-performance display solution for advanced DIY and prototyping projects.

Review: This display was the king of benchmarking for the TFT_eSPI library with my Pico and its fancy PIO controllers. Literally the fastest display result, partly because this is a 16bit parallel display. That means it uses almost all the Pico GPIO pins to connect! So don’t buy this if you want simplicity - just get a SPI 4 wire display instead. But if you need display performance, this is the ultimate. I am pretty positive I could run Pico DOOM on this screen with the TFT LCD fork. I wrote detailed setup notes in the TFT_eSPI GitHub Discussions if you search there for Pico and ILI9486.
Review: Check their website - they have example code and manuals (EN & CN) for this specific display, Noticed some folks had problems with the touchscreen. Often with these the display has 0/0 for X/Y coordinates in upper left corner which rotates if the display is rotated. Touchscreen may have 0/0 in bottom left which does not rotate with the display. May appear to not work because touchscreen isn't mapped correctly in your code.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the pin connection description for this module??  ex., is the led pin a backlight and what voltage?**
A: Number	Pin Label	Description
1	VCC	5V/3.3V power input
2	GND	Ground
3	CS	LCD chip select signal, low level enable
4	RESET	LCD reset signal, low level reset
5	DC/RS	LCD register / data selection signal,
high level: register, low level: data

6	SDI(MOSI)	SPI bus write data signal
7	SCK	SPI bus clock signal
8	LED	Backlight control, high level lighting,
if not controlled, connect 3.3V always bright

9	SDO(MISO)	SPI bus read data signal, if you do not need to the read function, you can not connect it
(The following is the touch screen signal line wiring, if you do not need to touch function or the module itself does not have touch function, you can not connect them)
10	T_CLK	Touch SPI bus clock signal
11	T_CS	Touch screen chip select signal, low level enable
12	T_DIN	Touch SPI bus input
13	T_DO	Touch SPI bus output
14	T_IRQ	Touch screen interrupt signal, low level when touch is detected

**Q: Does anyone have an arduino example code running with this 3.2" spi display ? - i tried adafruit, ucglib, tft_espi in two displays and none worked.**
A: It works fine for me with an ESP8266 or ESP32.  I couldn't get touch to work on the ESP8266 because of lack of output pins.  I used TFT_eSPI for the picture and touch.  Use Bodners examples.

**Q: There is conflicting information in the description. 3.5 in with 480x320 is not a 9341.  What is this display's proper description??**
A: I'm not an authority here, but I think that you are correct about the conflict.... ILI9341 is 320x240, and ILI9488 is 480x320.  While the main description says ILI9341, one of the pics for this model does identify it as IC Driver ILI9488.   perhaps the seller will update the incorrect information.  FWIW, good price for this display, and includes touch ..

**Q: Is there any way to control brightness of the backlight?**
A: You can drive the 'LED' pin with a PWM signal from a GPIO. The duty cycle of the PWM signal will be proportional to the brightness, just like controlling the brightness of an LED (there are a number of Raspberry Pi and Arduino examples of doing that).

*by N***. on 22 June 2024*

The touch screen (in video provided) is very responsive, however as seen it is bad or in my time of having mine (not very long) it has degraded so much that it stopped getting regular input. I tried recalibrating it but the included software isnt very good at it and it was still doing that curve. Their tech support is pretty much nonexistant and im pretty sure that its just a rebranded product. I am getting another one as the value is pretty good so im going to hope that the new one is not going to have a defective touchscreen.
