Also for others having issues with screen colours, put this line after your lines where you initialise the TFT:

Tft.invertDisplay(1);

And remember to keep the case of the command exactly like this or you get compilation errors. C++ is case sensitive. The i is lower case but the D is upper.

Thank you for this, excellent find. I am now pretty accomplished at programming the CYD and have several projects running but always hit the same issue when using touch and SD card together. This is a game changer.

Could not get them to work.
#include <TFT_eSPI.h>
#include <Adafruit_NeoPixel.h>

Following worked out:

#include <SPI.h>
#include <TFT_eSPI.h>
#include <FastLED.h>

#define LED_PIN 22
#define LED_COUNT 50
#define BRIGHTNESS 50
#define LED_TYPE WS2812B
#define COLOR_ORDER GRB

CRGB leds[LED_COUNT];
TFT_eSPI tft = TFT_eSPI();

#define SCREEN_WIDTH 320
#define SCREEN_HEIGHT 240
#define FONT_SIZE 2

void setup() {
Serial.begin(115200);

// TFT Display Init
SPI.begin();
tft.init();
tft.setRotation(1);
tft.fillScreen(TFT_WHITE);
tft.setTextColor(TFT_BLACK, TFT_WHITE);
tft.drawCentreString(“LED Sequencer”, SCREEN_WIDTH/2, 30, FONT_SIZE);

// FastLED Init
FastLED.addLeds<LED_TYPE, LED_PIN, COLOR_ORDER>(leds, LED_COUNT)
.setCorrection(TypicalLEDStrip);
FastLED.setBrightness(BRIGHTNESS);
FastLED.clear(true);
}

void safeTFT(std::function<void()> fn) {
SPI.beginTransaction(SPISettings(40000000, MSBFIRST, SPI_MODE0));
fn();
SPI.endTransaction();
}

void loop() {
for (int i = 0; i < LED_COUNT; i++) {
leds[i] = CRGB::Blue;
FastLED.show(); // RMT-driven, won’t interfere with SPI :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

safeTFT([&]() {
tft.fillScreen(TFT_WHITE);
tft.drawCentreString("LED " + String(i + 1),
SCREEN_WIDTH/2, SCREEN_HEIGHT/2, FONT_SIZE);
});

leds[i] = CRGB::Black;
FastLED.show();


}

FastLED.clear(true);
delay(2000);
}

Always a good idea to search before posting a question! However, I’ll give the hint anyway, reduce the port baudrate and that’ll be okay.

Hi.
There’s probably something wrong with the initialization and declaration of the variables.
But, it’s hard to tell without knowing the exact example you’re following.

That’s great!
Thank you so much for your support.
