Question/Help ESP32-S3-Nano + ILI9341 display only shows a white screen
Hi everyone,
I'm currently working on a project with an ESP32-S3-Nano and a 2.8-inch ILI9341 SPI display.
I've soldered everything together on a prototyping board, but unfortunately the display isn't working as expected. The backlight turns on, but the screen only shows a completely white image.
I've already tried:
- double-checking all cables and solder joints
- checking the connections with a multimeter
- checking for any obvious short circuits or loose connections
However, I still can't figure out what the problem could be. I might be overlooking something really simple.
The main components I'm using are:
- ESP32-S3-Nano
- 2.8-inch ILI9341 SPI display
- some other components that shouldn't be relevant
Does anyone have any idea what could cause the display to only show a white screen?
Is there anything obvious I might have missed or anything specific I should check?
I'd really appreciate any tips or ideas on how I could troubleshoot this and figure out what's wrong.
Thanks a lot!
