Teensy 2.0 with Nokia 5110 Display

[stefanmader1984]

Hi, i am trying to connect a Nokia 5110 Display to a Teensy 2.0 but i can't get it to work to show something on the display. Maybe someone could help me? Am i using the wrong pins or somethin?!

i am using the libraries:
#include <Adafruit_GFX.h>
#include <Adafruit_PCD8544.h>

The Display hase this pins:
RST --> Teensy 2.0 Pin 8
CE --> Teensy 2.0 Pin 6
DC --> Teensy 2.0 Pin 5
DIN --> Teensy 2.0 Pin 2
CLK --> Teensy 2.0 Pin 1
VCC --> 3.3 Volt with 5 to 3.3V Converter
Light --> connected to GND to turn on light
GND --> Teensy 2.0 GND

i am using the libraries example code and changed the pins to this:
// pin 1 - Serial clock out (SCLK)
// pin 2 - Serial data out (DIN)
// pin 5 - Data/Command select (D/C)
// pin 6 - LCD chip select (CS)
// pin 8 - LCD reset (RST)
Adafruit_PCD8544 display = Adafruit_PCD8544(1, 2, 5, 6, 8);


and the example code is attached.

Hmm has nobody an idea?

Maybe a wire is connected wrong? Showing photos of your wiring might help...

Thank you for your reply. I'll upload some pictures. I initially had a custom pcb made. Here are some pictures where i hook it up directly to the teensy 2.0.

only the 3.3V for the screenpower comes frome the pcb.
in this test i did not connect the light pin of the screen to gnd. so light is off.

Is the display powered by 3.3V but being driven with 5V signals?

Not sure how this Nokia display handles that situation, but I know some others do not work if any pin is driven with 5V.

I see your point. I was hoping that i made a tiny mistake.
i think i will get rid of the screen in this project and use it in a different one.

Thank you for your help! And please keep making awesome teensies , i use them in all my projects.
