7. טראָובלעשאָאָטינג
If you encounter issues with your display module, consider the following troubleshooting steps:
- קיין ווייַז / ליידיק פאַרשטעלן:
- Verify all connections (VCC, GND, DIN, CLK, CS, DC, RST, BL) are secure and correctly wired according to the diagrams.
- Check the power supply to the module and the host board.
- Ensure the backlight (BL) pin is correctly controlled and receiving power.
- Confirm that the initialization code for the GC9A01 driver is correctly executed in your program.
- Incorrect or Garbled Display:
- Double-check your SPI communication settings (mode, clock speed).
- Ensure the data format and command sequences sent to the GC9A01 driver match the specifications.
- Verify that the display buffer is being updated correctly in your code.
- Slow Refresh Rate:
- SPI communication speed can impact refresh rates. Ensure your host board is configured for the fastest stable SPI clock speed.
- Optimize your drawing routines to minimize the amount of data sent over SPI.
- Module Gets Warm:
- Some heat generation is normal, especially with continuous operation. Ensure adequate ventilation.
