Gday All, I am designing a small Pi-Pico backPack board on 50mm square format for, primarily, my own purposes as due to the price of the pi-pico and it’s availability both being better than an MX170 chip itself it seems the best direction for me to go down. I am wondering why no one seems to use the SD card that’s on the 14 pin SPI TFTs that are out there. All the signals seem to be there on a 4 pin header so it would take less real estate to run a 4way cable to the TFT instead of adding a socket on the daughter board. Am I missing something here? Is it a bad idea for some reason? Is there a compelling reason to have the SD socket on the daughter board? Kind Regards, Mick Mick's uMite Stuff can be found >>> HERE (Kindly hosted by Dontronics) <<< |

I've used one on one of the ILI9341 displays. Easy enough to use, but they put series resistors on the signal lines. I had problems getting a PicoMite to work with some SD cards until I shorted those out. Otherwise they are fine. I had to solder my own 4-pin header on though - it's not included. I think the main problem with the display SD card sockets is that they are in a bit of an awkward place. Not much use if you want to mount the display behind a panel.

I do use it. Sometimes some manipulations with resistors in signal paths required(delete/lower/increase). |

Thanks All, My TFT seems to have no resistors but I will recheck that. Thank you all, Regards, Mick Mick's uMite Stuff can be found >>> HERE (Kindly hosted by Dontronics) <<< |
