First hello to all,

I am a proud new owner of my first stm32f4 discovery (stm32f407vgt6)

i have bourght a tft lcd screen that uses the ILI9320 display driver and i have been all over the net looking for help and hints to get them to work together as a basic start i would love to get the classic ''Hello Word '' to display. Is there a library i should use for this display driver ??

I am using Keil 4.60.

Please help.

tihinking about changing to the ssd1963 seem to be a lot better/easier to work with and with more info on the web.

on a side note does anybody have issues with the embedded ui library editor from si when i add a graph i am not able to move it and it has a padlock symbol on the top right corner is this normal??

Hi David. Is it an HY32D TFT? I found a nice library on Github. This one ..

If you find a library and example code for your display on the F4 discovery, this might be fine.

However, getting such a TFT driver working from scratch (or code fragments), probably with handmade hardware, is definitly no project for a newbie. That would become really frustrating, just look for some similiar threads here.
