I was using SPI interface with ST7735 tft. i got it working with software SPI.
but hardware spi is not working.
i checked with logic analyser as well. With HwSPI, logic level not at all changing for 4 pins.
here is sketch:
#include <Adafruit_GFX.h> // Core graphics library
#include <Adafruit_ST7735.h> // Hardware-specific library
#include <SPI.h>
// For the breakout, you can use any 2 or 3 pins
// These pins will also work for the 1.8" TFT shield
#define TFT_CS PA4
#define TFT_RST PA3 // you can also connect this to the Arduino reset
// in which case, set this #define pin to 0!
#define TFT_DC PA2
// Option 1 (recommended): must use the hardware SPI pins
// (for UNO thats sclk = 13 and sid = 11) and pin 10 must be
// an output. This is much faster - also required if you want
// to use the microSD card (see the image drawing example)
Adafruit_ST7735 tft = Adafruit_ST7735(TFT_CS, TFT_DC, TFT_RST);
// Option 2: use any pins but a little slower!
#define TFT_SCLK 5 // set these to be whatever pins you like!
#define TFT_MOSI 7 // set these to be whatever pins you like!
//Adafruit_ST7735 tft = Adafruit_ST7735(TFT_CS, TFT_DC, TFT_MOSI, TFT_SCLK, TFT_RST);
float p = 3.1415926;
void setup(void) {
//Serial.begin(9600);
//Serial.print("Hello! ST7735 TFT Test");
// Use this initializer if you're using a 1.8" TFT
tft.initR(INITR_BLACKTAB); // initialize a ST7735S chip, black tab
// Use this initializer (uncomment) if you're using a 1.44" TFT
//tft.initR(INITR_144GREENTAB); // initialize a ST7735S chip, black tab
//Serial.println("Initialized");
uint16_t time = millis();
tft.fillScreen(ST7735_BLACK);
time = millis() - time;
//Serial.println(time, DEC);
delay(500);
// large block of text
tft.setTextSize(3);
tft.fillScreen(ST7735_BLACK);
testdrawtext("Hello World, Name: Sagar Saste, Email: [email protected], mob-8689823449,", ST7735_RED);
delay(1000);
}
void loop() {
tft.invertDisplay(true);
delay(500);
tft.invertDisplay(false);
delay(500);
}

Hopefully, I’ve given you links the dmost current (latest) HW SPI references, but I may have failed in my searches. I’ve not been active on this site in many months and I may have missed some recent changes (I’m mostly off in ESP32 and rPi land these days.)

Do i need to define which SPI interface will be in use?
Yes. If you don’t specify anything, the default SPI (port 1) will be used.
Beside that, I don’t see where in the library the SPI interface is initialized (using SPI.begin). That can be reason why it is not working.
I recommend to do that in your sketch before tft.init.
Are u using the original Adafruit lib or the one from Kenjutsu? Please provide link.
i called SPI.begin() but it will be called default if i call beginTransaction.
I cannot see it.
Adafruit_ST7735::Adafruit_ST7735(int8_t cs, int8_t dc, int8_t rst)
: Adafruit_GFX(ST7735_TFTWIDTH_128, ST7735_TFTHEIGHT_160) {
_cs = cs;
_dc = dc;
_rst = rst;
hwSPI = true;
SPI.begin();
_sid = _sclk = -1;
}
I recommend to do that in your sketch before calling tft.init.
Can you please have a look at my reply here: Re: ST7735 based LCDs?
If possible, can you provide feedback?
Thank you
here is .ino file.

This is a library for the Adafruit 1.8" SPI display.
This library works with the Adafruit 1.8" TFT Breakout w/SD card
----> http://www.adafruit.com/products/358
The 1.8" TFT shield
----> https://www.adafruit.com/product/802
The 1.44" TFT breakout
----> https://www.adafruit.com/product/2088
as well as Adafruit raw 1.8" TFT display
----> http://www.adafruit.com/products/618
Check out the links above for our tutorials and wiring diagrams
These displays use SPI to communicate, 4 or 5 pins are required to
interface (RST is optional)
