Hi Mr. Ben Zijlstra,

I'm using the display 3.2 with HX8357B and Arduino Mega2560 and Kipnik code.

All is working fine, except when shows pictures.... the .BIN and .BGC are showed with wrong colors ....

I have tried Landscape or Portrait, with the same problem...

Do you have any suggestion ?

Thanks !

Hi, the code in HX8357_functions.inc must be corrected to the HX8357B shows correct colors.

The corrected code is attached.

Hello,

This is not a bug, but your display is now running in the inversion mode.
You sure the colors are right now ?
Or was only the RGR-BGR order not correct, which you can change in the INIT here.

Hi, Hkipnik,

Yes, I'm sure that now the colors are right ..... all the pictures are in real colors now, .bin files, including text commands, box, circles, lines, all is fine.

I have read a lot of posts about this display with Arduino IDE, many peoples say they have the same problem.

I researched a lot without any solution, then I read your initialization code with the chipset docs in hands, and see that this display can work in inverse mode, and suspect that this inversion can silvery problem, and it works.

I bought 10 pieces of the same display, and all the 10 have the same problem. But with the inversion command the display are working correct now.

May be some chipset problem ?

Thanks for your attention and your driver's code !
