As @atanisoft mentioned, the screen detection relies on reading the touch sensor chip over the spi bus.
There is a debug message when the controller powers up to indicate if this was successful or not.
There should probably be a new feature to force TFT usage even if not detected,
Thank you very much.
I do not control much of the subject, but it is time to learn.
As far as I see the screen is correct. I donāt know what the touch IC is, but from the photos of the bangood I donāt see anything missing. I attach photos of my screen.
The message I get when opening a session with Putty is the following:

Iāll check the welds.
Thanks for any information.
What version of the controller PCB are you using?
The las one, i hope.
And Compiled_Firmware_2022-05-13-09-01.
I added a few lines above about the log in putty. It says that TFT screem IS NOT INSTALED.
In which case - take a look at this issue!
Working!.
IĀ“m sorry donĀ“t see that issue by myself.
Thank a lot. And thanks for your amazing work.
For reference, on the TFT LCD back side U2 is the touch IC. If that is not present the diyBMS code will NOT detect the presence of the display (though it may initialize and use it during startup it will shut off soon thereafter).
Glad that you have sorted the issue out with the MOSI pin!
When I run DRC on the 8266controller and the V4.21 cell modules on KiCad, it shows multiple courtyard overlap errors. I also sent the designs to FreeDFM and it shows some Missing Soldermask Clearance violations. I donāt have much experience in PCB development. Are these errors important or can I order the PCBs using these files?
I made some changes just on the silkscreen by adding some text. Both the original gerbers by Stuart and the new gerbers show these results.
Please DONāT cross-post. You asked a very similar question only a day ago When I run DRC on the 8266controller and the V4.21 cell modules on KiCad, it shows multiple courtyard overlap errors
I have locked that topic so that replies do not get spread around.
Thanks. Moderator (RW)
The 8266 controller is an older design and has not been updated for a few years now. I recommend not using that if you are planning to build a new setup.
As regards to the clearance violations, Iām not sure, KiCAD was used to generate the designs, and it passes the internal checks in that tool. The circuits have been built using the Gerbers supplied without issue.
Can I ask why you need to add new text to the silkscreen?
Hi,
so i have a few major errors that i canāt solve.
First of all I have 3 CellModules V4.21 and have soldered them. Now i want to programm them and the first problem is that only the enviroment āattiny841_V400ā is visible. But with the commant argument i can work around thatā¦
but always at the accutual upload following error is showing:
and i donāt know where to put the ā-Fā flag to override the check but why does this happen in the first place?
the green LED on the pcb blinks once.
