Usage

This display is suitable for applications where a colorful display with moderate resolution is needed. It’s versatile due to its compatibility with both 3.3V and 5V Arduino boards. The 8-bit parallel interface allows for faster data transfer, and its compatibility with both SPI and parallel modes gives you flexibility depending on your project needs.

For programming, libraries like Adafruit_ILI9486 and TFT_eSPI (especially for SPI modes) can be useful. Ensure that you set the correct driver IC in your library configuration to properly communicate with the ILI9486 controller.
