I recently got one TFT LCD from aliexpress which supports SPI and uses ILI9341.

This is the one.[TFT LCD][1]

I have the ESP8266 EspressoLite 1 board, and I am using ESP8266 Arduino. [(https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino)][2]

I made the following connection : SCK #14, MOSI #13, MISO #12 and CS #4, DC #5,RESET #0

and used the example graphicTest (which is available in the Adafruit_ILI9341-master folder) . I was able to make the display work for a few seconds. In the graphic test, once the line test starts my ESP8266 gets restarted. This was getting repeated .

In my existing project, I used the following code to just show some messages :

Adafruit_ILI9341 tft = Adafruit_ILI9341(4, 5, 13, 14, 0, 12);
  tft.begin()
  tft.fillScreen(ILI9341_BLACK);
  tft.setCursor(0, 0);
  tft.setTextColor(ILI9341_GREEN);  tft.setTextSize(4);
  tft.println(message);

The message is shown once a response is sent back from ESP. This works for a couple of times and then it again gets stuck and reboots.

I am not sure whether I am using the optimised library for ESP8266 for this LCD or whether there is any as such.

I read in forums and could see that there were some adafruit libraries in the ESP8266 Arduino but now that it is not available and only some TFT_Touch_Shield_V2 are present.

Has anyone faced the same issue or can tell me a better way to make this display work with ESP8266 Arduino.

Thanks in advance. !!! [1]: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Wholesale-1PC-2-2-Inch-240-320-Dots-SPI-TFT-LCD-Serial-Port-Module-Display-ILI9341/32508607290.html [2]: https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino
