3.5 inch TFT Display 320*480 pixels - Mega-Due Compatible - ILI9486

This display can be mounted on an Arduino Mega or Due. It has a fairly high resolution of 320*480 pixels and is also quite large with 3.5 inch LCD size.
The display is already equipped with level converters and therefore ready to use on an Arduino Mega/Due.
The screen has an ILI9486 chip that controls the LCD screen and also has a standard SD card reader built in (e.g. to store images or text).

Specifications:

• Screen size: 3.5 inches
• Resolution: 320*480 pixels
• Type of LCD: TFT
• LCD Driver IC: ILI9486
• Interface: 16-bit parallel interface
• PCB dimensions: 96.6 x 60.3mm
• LCD dimensions(total): 85 x 56 x 3mm
• LCD dimensions(visible display): 73.5 x 49mm
• Voltage: 4.5-5.5V DC
• IO voltage: 3.3-5V (with level converter converted to 3.3V for the display)
• Power consumption: approx. 150mA
• Pinout: see images

Instructions display:

To get the display working you can use the UTFT library.
After installation, open this example for the Arduino Mega:
UTFT --> Arduino (AVR) --> UTFT_Demo_480x320
Or this example for the Arduino Due:
UTFT --> Arduino (ARM) + Teensy --> UTFT_Demo_480x320
Once the example has been opened, some adjustments are needed to get the "UTFT_Demo_480x320" example working:
This line:

UTFT myGLCD (CTE32HR, 38,39,40,41);

Needs to be changed to this:

UTFT myGLCD (ILI9486,38,39,40,41);

Then you can use the example to test your LCD screen and use the demo as the basis for your own program.

Instructions SD card (Due):

To get the SD card working with a Due, the following library is needed: SdFat (can also be installed via the library manager of the Arduino IDE)
After installation, open the following example:
SdFat --> SoftwareSpi
Then change the following lines of code:

#define SD_FAT_TYPE 0
//
// Chip select may be constant or RAM variable.
const uint8_t SD_CS_PIN = 10;
//
// Pin numbers in templates must be constants.
const uint8_t SOFT_MISO_PIN = 12;
const uint8_t SOFT_MOSI_PIN = 11;
const uint8_t SOFT_SCK_PIN  = 13;

To:

#define SD_FAT_TYPE 1
//
// Chip select may be constant or RAM variable.
const uint8_t SD_CS_PIN = 53;
//
// Pin numbers in templates must be constants.
const uint8_t SOFT_MISO_PIN = 50;
const uint8_t SOFT_MOSI_PIN = 51;
const uint8_t SOFT_SCK_PIN  = 52;

Thereafter, in the file "SdFatConfig.h" (can be found in the folder ...\Arduino\libraries\SdFat\src\) the following line (around line 109):

#define SPI_DRIVER_SELECT 0

Needs to be changed to:

#define SPI_DRIVER_SELECT 2

Then you can use the example to test the SD card and use the demo as the basis for your own program.
