Required

Use a 3.3 V logic host and a regulated module supply at 3.3 V. Wire both GND contacts. Use the vendor’s MAR2201 initialization to exercise the LCD without an SD card.

Bench checks

  • Confirm supply and ground at the module before starting the panel. Observe reset, chip select and clock with a logic analyzer if the panel stays blank.
  • Display solid colors and draw the corner pixels at the address-window boundaries. Check the selected MAR2201 orientation if the picture is offset.
