Arduino Due with 1.8" TFT Display

Ingredients

For this project you will require the following;

1. Arduino Due (Arduino Mega will also work)
2. 1.8" TFT Display (ST7735 Driver)
3. 2 X Female to Female 30cm cable
4. 6 X Male to Female 30 cm cable

Setup (Hardware)

In order to get the Arduino Due to communicate you need to connect pins as follow;

Ardiono SPI Pin 3 -> LCD SCK (see https://www.arduino.cc/en/reference/SPI for details) - Female to Female connector

Arduino SPI Pin 4 -> LCD SDA - Female to Female connector

Arduino Pin 10 -> LCD CS

Arduino Pin 8 -> LCD Reset

Arduino Pin 7 -> LCD LED

Arduino Pin 5 -> LCD A0

Arduino 3V3 -> LCD VCC

Arduino GND -> LCD GND

Setup (Software)

Ensure you have done the necessary installation of software as per our setup blog.
