Using with "Hardware" SPI pins and SD/EthernetShield is not possible

[fgoebel]

Hello,
i am trying to get the 5110 LCD work with the Hardware SPI pins to reduce used pins.
The used Pins are:

• MOSI on Pin 11
• MISO on Pin 12 (not used)
• SCK on Pin 13

It works quite fine until I add the "SD.begin(SD_CS_Pin);" then the display is hanging on the initialisation screen.

The Problem is described here too:
http://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?PHPSESSID=qs028iega6gc4vgn06tdt43ag3&topic=162167.0

So is it possible to get this LCD working on the hardware SPI-Pins or do i have to change them?

Thank you very much!

I have to add, that it is not possible to use this library with the Sd-/Ethernetshield at all.
I've tried to make a temperatue and humidity logger which also is able to display the last data on the display.
But i only get the Adafruit Init Screen over and over again or very confusing flickering data showing on the display. And the logging to sd-card will stop working, too.

the Sd-logging without the display and vice versa works quite fine.

Am i doing something wrong or is it not possible with this library?

thank you very much!

Same question here. I'm failing to understand how to use hardware SPI with the PCD_8544. I could redefine the pins when instantiating the Adafruit_PCD8544 but I'm unsure how that would affect other peripherals which are controlled by the SPI library.
Any insight on how to SPI library and Adafruit_PCD8544 coexist on the same pins would be appreciated.
