Sorry but I cannot reproduce problem, I'm running at full speed (even at 160Mhz), no issues on the 4 modules I have (everyone has the display), I should have an access to a livecam to proof this but believe me it's true...
On arduino I flashed with:
- NodeMCU 1.0 (ESP12-E Module)
- CPU Frequency: 80Mh (or even 160Mhz)
- Flash Size: 4M (1M SPIFF)
The display hast RST connected to 3v3 and I'm using CS to pin 16 and DC to pin 2
I have used this sketch, it dinamically change rotation as well:
The error it's really generic to me, but googling the 2 errors bring me only to firmware issues (and some inconsistency power issues that I don't trust).
Here's what I can suggest you, it's not library related but helped me in many situations.
1) Are you using the same pin I'm using?
2) If you are using IDE 1.66, switch back to 1.65.
3) Maybe you updated to rc2 recently from an old version? If yes, I strongly suggest remove completely ESP8266 (if you are on windows, remove also ESP8266 folder inside AppData/Roaming/Arduino15/packages/esp8266), close IDE, reopen it and reinstall ESP8266 staging, then close and reopen.
