BuyDisplay (EastRising) Display ER-TFTM070-5V4 connections


 
Edited

I've been wrestling with the datasheet for this 7" display. I checked all the jumpers and it is configured as 4-wire serial.
It seems like there is a typo in the datasheet, as they have two J2 connectors, one with 10 pins and the other with 40 pins (labeled Parallel/Serial Interface and CTP (capacitive touch panel) interface.
I want to double check if my assumptions are correct in the following connections to the display:
Use only the first 8 pins of the 40 pin connector
Pin Number (J2 AKA J3 on the device)
1 and 2 VSSGroundGND
3 and 4 VDDPower SupplyVCC
5 /SCS Serial Mode Chip Select (/CS), Low activeC/S
6 SDO 4-wire SPI Data Output (MISO)MISO
7 SDI 4-wire SPI Data Input (MOSI)MOSI
8 SCLK SPI Clock (SCLK)SCLK

I've attached the datasheet.
Thanks for you help.

The correct connector to use for interface is the 40 PIN connector.?? I cut pins 11 and 12 off the connector and then a 10 pin header fits on the first 10 pins of the 40 pins perfectly.? Make sure you wire them properly to match the display connector or you will blow out the RA 8875 Controller chip on the display board.

That is…. Check the pins wired on each end to make SURE they match…

Thanks Bill. Yeah, I just cut off pins 11 and 12 so that a 10 pin connector will fit.
It looks like the T-41 display pinout is a mirror image of what it needs on the Display, so I think I can wire the cable normally but then plug in pin 1-2 of the cable into 9-10 of the display (both unused)
I'll double check, to make sure I'm not thinking crazy.

Here is my connection on the same display…

I used a 40 pin connector with a 10 wire cable.? No cutting pins required.

That works too
