Table page 17 in Micromite user manual shows only the connections for 28 and 44 pin Micromite, but not for 64 pin.

There are two manuals.
Micromite manual and micromite plus manual.

The additional commands etc are in the Micromite Plus Manual.

Hi Jim,

i don't have Problem with commands, but with the correct wiring.

I read and searched in both manuals, but could not find how to connect the Micromite Explorer 64 with ILI9341.

The "Touch" related connections are not explained.

I think you are correct, it is missing. Page 11 of the advanced manual does not carry all the information over from the old MicroMite Advanced Features manual.

The column for the ILI9341 is omitted as is the touch pins.
The description of the SPI panels talks about the ILI9163 when it means ILI9341 I think.
Here is page 4 from the old advanced manual with the information.

Aha,

i think this will be the correct wiring.

A little bit to late for me now

I will check it tomorrow...

Thank you very much.

Being SPI, I don't think it matters with respect to the MOSI/MISO/CLK pins.
The all important thing, is that you tell MMBASIC to use the correct SPI driver, and specify the other control pins correctly as you choose.

I have just had a look at an old design, and I wired the MM+ pins 4 and 5 to the SPI LCD, and I know the LCD worked. This was with an ILI9341 LCD.

Therefore, LCD_SDA to MM64_pin05, and LCD_SCK to MM64_pin04.

CS, Reset, and RS(A0) pins are configurable.

Smoke makes things work. When the smoke gets out, it stops!

Thanks @atmega8 and @disco4now, the manual is indeed missing the I/O pin allocations for the ILI9341 display.

I have updated the manual in the V5.1 download and it can also be separately downloaded from:
