WIO Terminal blank screen

Products & Technology Wio Terminal
#1

I am having issues with two just received wio terminal units. First of all the game loaded when units came in yesterday work. I have having trouble with example programs display not showing anything when trying to display tft.fillScreen(TFT_RED) or any color. The only thing that works is black light on and off. The programs compiles and upload with no errors. Any example to show on the screen doesn’t work just a black screen.

Thanks
Manny

Can you share your test code? I think I can help you.

#3

Thanks, I figured the problem was bad arduino IDE. Tried on different computer and all worked.

Thanks

Manny, I to have the same problem but in my case running the code on a different computer and operating system made no difference. do you know why your change of system made the Wio Terminal work.
I first ran the example blink sketch and the blue LED did blink as expected but when I ran the folowing example code from the Wiki nothing was displayed on the screen.
#include"TFT_eSPI.h"
TFT_eSPI tft;
void setup() {
tft.begin();
tft.setRotation(3);
tft.fillScreen(TFT_RED); // fills entire the screen with colour red
}

void loop() {
 
}

Any ideas?

Hi @jasea

Please check your libraries, there may be a conflict libraries for this matter

#7

Anson, I have found the problem. In the Wiki it says that the LCD Libraries are included inside the Wio Terminal board Library. This I proved to be correct as I installed the Wio Terminal on an Arduino IDE with no libraries added, and the first test sample in the Wiki worked and the screen turned red. I also downloaded the Seed_Arduino_LCD library and found that it contained a number of libraries that I had installed in the IDE. As the code uses the # include with the double quotes, I would have thought the local files would have been used in preference to the files in the Library folder. At the moment it looks like I will need two installations of the IDE one for my normal TFT applications and one for Wio Terminal.

#8

John, I am running windows 10 and most current version of Arduino IDE. Both WIO Terminals work on my desktop computer with no issues. I have a blank screen on both WIO Terminals when using my laptop and a working program using LCD display running off my desktop. I have loaded Arduino IDE several time on the laptop with no change always have blank screen compiling program on laptop. The only difference I notice using laptop after uploading program to WIO it always ask me on a pop up what to do with drive G: I don’t have a drive G nor do I have a SD card plugged in WIO. Still I have no idea why WIO screen is blank using laptop.

#9

I found the fix on my laptop. I removed the TFT_eSPI library from Arduino library folder and everything worked fine.

I’m using 32-bit Windows 7. I downloaded and installed the latest version of Arduino and did not install any additional libraries (only Wio Terminal 1.7.9 Lib).
I also downloaded and installed the Windows driver from here.

Now when uploading code with Arduino on Wio, the screen turns black and Wio enters the bootloader mode. where is the problem from ?
I removed the Arduino completely several times but the problem was not solved.

My problem is similar to @mizapata
Has anyone tested on Windows 7?

PS: The interesting thing is that after a failed upload and after restarting, wio automatically enters the bootloader indefinitely!
The problem is solved only when the firmware is re-installed on the device.

https://github.com/Seeed-Studio/Signed_USB_Serial_Driver/releases/download/1.0.3/Seeed_USB_Serial_Driver-1.0.3.zip @blizzard For Windows 7 you may need to install this driver.

Thanks @Baozhu , but I tested with v1.0.3, the problem could not be solved.

#13

first time i plug in my wio terminal the screen was good and then i started to connect to Arduino ide i did my code and was okay. afterwards i tried again my screen not showing anything and even the boot up interface also not showing , itried with different computer also still the same. what should i do? anyone help me…urgent

#14

Can you show me your code？

Hi folks- I’m having a similar issue with my new Wio Terminal for a hobby project (building a squirrel squirter that recognizes squirrels and shoots them with a water gun). I used my MacBook to flash the Wio to RTL8720 but it just displays “Burn RTL8720fw” and I’m unable to upload a sketch.

Instead I get the error message pasted below. I’d really appreciate any help/guidance that the community has to offer. (I also posted this q on Discord; hoping I’m not spamming the community!). THANK YOU!

You can try running the

chmod +x {file path}

command in Terminal on macOS. This will open up permissions on the path file.

thank You! it working!

Following up and hoping for a bit of help getting my Wio Terminal and Grove Vision sensor up and running. I’ve uploaded a custom model to the Grove Vision sensor. And I ran the object_detection sketch included in the Grove AI examples and it compiled and uploaded fine. But the screen on my Wio Terminal remains black.

A simple sketch like this works fine, though:

#include “TFT_eSPI.h”

TFT_eSPI tft;

void setup() {

tft.begin();

tft.setRotation(3);

tft.fillScreen(TFT_YELLOW);

tft.drawLine(0,0, 100,100, TFT_BLACK);

}

void loop() {

// put your main code here, to run repeatedly:

}

Hello, could you post your content of the TFT_eSPI.h file?

Thanks so much for helping to troubleshoot. Here’s the TFT_eSPI.h file:
