Retropie SPI ili-9341 screen 30 fps+ tutorial

[@3FFAE6E0]

Anyone having trouble with their ili9341, swap CS with DC.

[@billymoore6497]

Absolutely amazing. Top notch. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

[@bamsegod]

Thanks

[@elektron2kim666]

There are better displays now. SPI/Pin displays are slow somehow for games.

Copy-pasta : sudo modprobe fbtft_device custom name=fb_ili9341 gpios=reset:25,dc:24,led:18 speed=16000000 bgr=1

[@smilt_]

Even though this is 2 years old, is there someone that can help? Once i type the modprobe command, all i get is "modprobe: FATAL: Module fbtft_device not foynd in directory /lib/modules/5.4.73v64"

[@bRIAN_69420]

I got the same message too 😢

[@miguelcelorio7982]

this is because now, the kernel does not include the fbtft module anymore, if you want to use an updated kernel you will need to use a different method (device trees and overlays). The other option is to use an old kernel such as 4.14 or 4.9, this is what i have done, im currently using retropie 4.4 with 4.14.30 kernel version. Hope it helps

Thanks for a beautiful work

What settings are now the best for this screen?

@@bamsegod Thank you!

[@voicesofdeath2957]

are you sure the wiring you drew out is correct? I just get a white screen.

[@bamsegod]

Yes absolutely. Probably you have dc line mixed up. There are two methods for connecting the screen, each with its own corresponding code.

[@voicesofdeath2957]

Nah the problem ended up being the 900000000 setting. my display, although the same as yours, wasn't able to go that high. I got a great result with a lower setting and all is well!

[@bamsegod]

@@voicesofdeath2957 got it. I have seen discolouration with too high refresh but not the white screen. Glad it worked out for you.

[@Evilslayer73]

do you have a pdf tutorial ??

[@freemanfreed1581]

Can this screen be used for displaying date , month and year ??

[@studioeight4571]

I have an ST7735 SPI screen, just can't get it to work at all. 😭

[@bamsegod]

Only works for ili 9341

[@diymicroelectronics2677]

Does it work with RetroRangePi (Orange Pi PC)?

[@bamsegod]

I haven't used it with orange pi. Give it a try and let me know

Hi, I have a problem. When I write command "sudo modprobe fbtft_device custom...." my display showing white screen only. Can you help me ?

[@Kitsu_no_mirai]

There must be a wiring error. Please check your wiring. May be its help

[@bamsegod]

[@kufer27]

It's working!!! Thank you very much.

You are welcome. Hope its usefull

I have to connect my pi with wi-fi to do this?

[@bamsegod]

Yes

[@robertthebastian]

Awesome, thanks!

[@BTTagzel]

Please help. I'm having problem. When I write con2fbmap 1 1 my display not changes and displays white screen. I tried changing dc and cs. Why is this happening please help.

[@bamsegod]

Not sure check the wiring bargain and try flashing again

[@victororo462]

I just tried this. It didn't fully load on the small display. Just the backlight. Nothing else. I have a question. Would doing this with success make this a totally working and bootable unit with no need for the HDMI monitor? Or would I have to set all of this up every time I wanted to use the small display?

[@bamsegod]

Once setup right, you don't need to setup do it everyone no need for HDMI connection.

[@victororo462]

@@bamsegod I got it! Yeeeeeeehaw! Thank you, Brothaman! This is soooooo awesome! LOL. Very cool stuff! Now to put it into a truly mobil unit. Thank you for uploading and helping us out!

But it is possible to do that with a st7735 based display?

[@realwords6922]

is it work with NOOBs and I using 3.2 TFT SPI 240*320 v1.0 SPI ILI-9341 screen with Raspberry Pi 3 model B

[@bamsegod]

Yes

[@victororo462]

I have one question on this. I achieved in getting it to work, thanks to you. But, is there a way to get it to fit and expand on the whole screen? The height is perfect. But the width isn't true. There's space on both sides. Can this be expanded?

[@bamsegod]

It should only be 320 pixels wide. There is a bit of a dead black space on the screen which is not pixels just screen assembly

[@calllen]

overscan?

[@bamsegod]

@@calllen off

Dude, this is bitchin! Making the whole unit mobile. That's nuts!

Sir can we the touch pin to the pi so po oparate with touch

[@bamsegod]

I don't have a touch screen to test 😣. It should work thogh

[@nbhenry1647]

My 240x320 TFT says it is a ILI9340C instead of a ILI9341. Will this procedure still work? Great video!

[@bamsegod]

Make sure the wiring is specifically to your screen. Some screens have 5v etc different.

[@freemanfreed1581]

what is the size ??

Great ! Can i try with raspberry pi zero ? Thanks

[@bamsegod]

Sam Arcade yes this method works with both rpi3 and RPI zero. If you have a red screen then you can do 5v led. If you have just the screen without red PCB then make sure led backlight is connected to 3v only
