Im using a Arduino Due (switch is therefore on 3.3V) and the screen stays blank if im using the sketches and libraries from here:

(im using IDE 1.8.3)
2020-12-05 13:44:13 Hi there,
Is there any solution for this? I am having the same issue.
My setup includes:
1. Arduino Due
2. DFR0387 TFT (with switch turned to 3.3V)
3. Arduino 1.8.12 (initially)

The touch screen part works (as I have added code to debug via serial port). I added code to change the PWM on D8, which I have verified works by using an Oscilloscope. But the screen is still black. I tried PWM 0 - 255 (0% - 100%) but saw nothing different. What setting is this meant to be at for the Due?

I then tried to use an old version of Arduino, but 1.6.2 is the oldest one that support Arduino Due board, i had issues with downloading packages from board manager to get support for the Due.

I tired Arduino 1.6.8, and got this error: bossac.exe: extra arguments found
Try 'bossac.exe -h' or 'bossac.exe --help' for more information

I tried Arduino 1.6.13. It did compile but still with a blank screen.

I spent a lot of time trying to figure out each problem, but didn't get anywhere.

Does this screen really support the Due when the libraries are developed for Arduino 1.0.5 which does not support Arduino Due.

Any guidance with this will be appreciated!

Thanks!
Aaron

You can also change the PWM value of D8 to change the back light brightness
