If a printout/listing reaches the last display line all the previous lines will be deleted? or covered in „white“.




The editor is working fine. Here I can scroll up and down without any display problems.

The adapted parameters/options are :






Technical data of the display: https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/Pico-LCD-2

Has anybody an idea/hint?

Your configuration is wrong

Use OPTION SYSTEM SPI GP10,GP11,GP28
OPTION LCDPANEL ST7789_320,l,GP8,GP12,GP9,GP13
OPTION LCDPANEL CONSOLE 1,,,,NOSCROLL

This is a c..p display because they haven't wired SPI MISO from the display so the framebuffer can't be read (unlike their 2.8" display)
See the manual page 92 for more info

Hi @matherp

thanks to your comment with the correct options i got this crappy display working, too. So i have a Pico W with that display working. Now i would like to add a sd card to the system. I have a spi breakout board but now i am asking myself, how i can connect that, as the display already seems to "grab" the SYSTEM SPI option.
Does that mean, i cannot have the display and the sd card connected at the same time?

Do you have any recommendation how to get the sd card working in that environment?

Thanks a lot for your help!

Christian

The SDcard can share the system SPI so wire GP10, GP11, and GP28 to SD-CLK, SD-IN, and SD-OUT, Then pick any free pin for SD-CS and type OPTION SDCARD freepin. Assuming you have also wired power correctly - it should work. NB: If your SD breakout is one of the ones targeted at Arduino with 5V to 3.3V conversion it probably won't work. You need one that just wires the pins direct.

Thanks @matherp for you quick response,

the board is this: https://www.adafruit.com/product/4682
So only 3V, should work, if i did not get you wrong.

Thanks and best regards,

Christian
