- Tue Apr 11, 2017 6:08 am #64823 I am struggling in trying to connect a 11 pin TFT display to the esp8266
I believe I made a mistake and bough a model that is for the raspberry pi.

do I still have a chance to make it work on the esp8266 ?

I have attached a pict of the display

- Thu Apr 13, 2017 3:05 pm #64926 Are you programming the ESP8266 in an arduino IDE? If so, then I would try using the adafruit libraries for TFT displays:

Adafruit_GFX Library
Adafruit_ST7735 Library

Then you would just make sure that the pin assignments are correct. When I get home I can check some notes I made on doing this.

An Arduino IDE compatible graphics and fonts library for ESP8266 processors with a driver for ILI9341, ILI9163, ST7735 and S6D02A1 based TFT displays that support SPI.
