6. Pangropéa sarta perawatan

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Waveshare 1.28inch Round LCD Display Module, follow these general maintenance guidelines:

• Penanganan: Cekel modul ku sisi-sisina supados henteu némpél permukaan layar atanapi komponén éléktronik.
• beberesih: Make lawon anu lemes, teu aya lint, rada dampened with water or a mild screen cleaner, to gently wipe the display surface. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals.
• Panyimpenan: Store the module in a dry, dust-free environment, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Sasayogian tanaga: Pastikeun catu daya voltage is within the specified range (3.3V / 5V) to prevent damage.
• Listrik statik: Take precautions against electrostatic discharge (ESD) when handling the module, as electronic components are sensitive to static.

7. Cara ngungkulan

If you encounter issues with your display module, consider the following troubleshooting steps:

• Henteu aya tampilan / layar kosong:
  • 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.
  • Pariksa yén input voltage is not exceeding 5V.
• Masalah kasaluyuan:
  • While compatible with many boards, specific libraries or pin mappings might be required. Consult Waveshare's documentation for your exact host board. (Note: Some users reported issues with Teensy 4, while it worked with Arduino Nano/Teensy 3.2/3.5).
