WhenconnectedtotheDisplayConnectorV1connection(RGBinterface),theILI9341configurationregistersaremanipulatedviaa3-wireSPIinterface(SCL,SDAandCS).The3-wireSPIinterfaceusesa9-bitdatalength.The9thbitindicateswhethertheremaining8-bitsrepresentdataoracommand(D/CX).Becauseofthisrequirement,theMCUmustbeprogrammedtobit-bangthisSPIconnectionastheMicrochipSPIperipheraldoesnotsupporta9-bitSPIinterface.Althoughsimilar,theI2Cportwillnotworkasithasadifferentdataprotocol.TheILI9341hasan18-bitRGBinterface,butallMicrochipgraphicsdevelopmenttoolsoutputa16-bitRGBsignal.This16-bitRGBsignalisconnectedtotheILI934118-bitRGBinterfacebytyingtheMSBsoftheredandblueRGBoutputsignalstotheMSBsofthered
