UC1608 240x128 unpredictable display #817
Comments
To me it sounds like a hardware problem. Many resons could be there: Power supply not good enough, wrong/broken caps, broken wires. |
It definitely does sound like a hardware problem, doesn't it? Powering via laptop USB port, should be good enough, right? Unsure what caps you are referring to, but the data sheet suggested two to put on the board and I followed it's recommended but will double check |
Depends. If you use the same port for the backlight, then current might be too high
Use ceramic caps as close as to the FPC connector. Also put one or more ceramic cap into the power supply lines also close to the FPC connector. |
Thanks for your help! Issue resolved, stupidly connected the ~RD pin of display to Teensy but didn't do anything with it. It defaulted to LOW and was obviously confusing the display a little. All works fine now |

Hello,
I'm trying to use the UC1608 chip with a 240x128 display from BuyDisplays.com and a Teensy3.5 with the 8080 interface.
I've been having unpredictable results. For a time, the display was only displaying data every two times the board is programmed. After a short while the display would work after every program. Now the display will not display anything. The display has been unpredictable like this for the last 4 days of debgging.
I'm using
U8G2_UC1608_240X128_F_8080 u8g2(U8G2_R0, D0, D1, D2, D3, D4, D5, D6, D7, ENABLE, CS, DC, RESET);
as a constructor.My thinking is that because the screen sometimes displays perfectly the BUS, CS,CD and ENABLE must be correctly defined and connected. I'm unsure what else could be wrong with the software/setup.
Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated. thank you
