Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

  phil99 said  This works well for me.
Note the RLANDSCAPE in the Options. See if that makes a difference.
Edit
Another thing to try is copy my calibration first then re-calibrate if needed.
GUI CALIBRATE 0, 3820, 408, -1306, 946

will soldering resistors fix blit read not working?

Phil, if you are familiar with this ips 9488 then which resistors need blobbing please?
and using 1n5819 and 10kr
no probs with reading sd card though, it's blit read/write.

Some ILI9341 and older ILI9488 boards require the resistors to be blobbed but the IPS ILI9488 is different as explained here and again .

On the 4" IPS ILI9488 R8 needs to be removed, not blobbed if the SD card is to share System SPI with the LCD panel.
R8 is connected to SDO and is a 4.7kΩ pullup to 3.3V. When SDO is connected to MISO R8 prevents the 10kΩ resistor pulling MISO low, stopping Blit from working.

Make sure you only use 3.3v on this board to avoid destroying your SD card. This board does not have a 3.3V regulator (U1) fitted, instead it is bypassed by a link (R0).

To make it interchangeable with other panels remove R0 and solder a 3.3V LDO regulator on U1.

Brill Phil! a simple explanation that works.
Blit read/write now works and still reads sd card.
I use a 3.3V and 5V barrel jack reg board. 5V to lcd and 3.3V to pico 3.3V enable grounded so just a jumoer link to change 5V to 3.3V for lcd.
De soldering R8 was hard.
Surprised powering ils 9488 with 5V not blown it, I thought there was a reg u1 but it was a transistor for led/bl.
Thanks again stan

so does that mean lcd is ok. is reading pixels same as blit read/write?

You can test with:
const WH =RGB(255,  255,  255) 'WHITE
const YE =RGB(255,  255,    0) 'YELLOW
const LI =RGB(255,  128,  255) 'LILAC

const CE =RGB(0,    128,  255) 'CERULEAN

const BL =RGB(0,    0,    255) 'BLUE
const Bk =RGB(0,    0,      0) 'BLACK
const Gy =RGB(128,  128,  128) 'GREY
const Lg =RGB(210,  210,  210) 'LITEGREY

lizby thanks. I changed colour short cuts and my sprites/blit write are correct again, no missing pixels. all getting too strange for me.
The problem now is gui calibrate works but GUI TEST TOUCH is total messed.
It did work but think removing R8 I damaged display, dunno

  Quote  A possible alternative to removing R8 may be to reduce the 10kΩ to 1kΩ - 1.5kΩ to override it. Untested, may be too low for some SD cards.

Got around to testing this and it works from 1kΩ to 2kΩ  but colour counter and Blit errors start at 2.2k.

All the SD cards I have are happy with this so I suggest leaving R8 in place and using 1.5kΩ or 1.8kΩ for the LCD_CS to MISO resistor.

A more informative 2 line colour counter.
> clear : option base 0 : dim string s(2)=(" blues"," greens"," reds") : dim integer a, b, c, d

64 blues
64 greens
64 reds

More playing.
You can remove the diode and replace it with a 1nF capacitor and it all works. Pixel, Blit and SD card.

Phil, thanks for the advice.I tried ips 9488 again and gui calibrate no errors but today touch is working accurately. think it's the tight fit on the board, screen touches pico so maybe resistive layer distorted.
removing R8 sorted blit read/write and sd card reads ok
using 10KR and 1N5819
