Is it possible to connect an Arduino display to a Pic microcontroller?

Question

Microcontrollers

I'm just starting to study microcontrollers, I want to buy a PIC16F628A: https://www.platan.ru/cgi-bin/qwery.pl/id=2015495227 and connect a 2.4-inch color display to it, I found this one on alik: https:// aliexpress.ru/item/1005003797803015.html?i...
But it says that the display is for arduino. Can it be connected to PIC16F628A?

Answer 1

You can, please note that the display is 3.3V and if the controller ports are 5V, then level matching is necessary.
On the same Ali there are ready-made microcircuits for coordination.

Answer 2

I didn’t work with peaks, but it’s clear that you can connect it, but it won’t work. Well, is it really difficult to see the characteristics of the display yourself, this peak and a typical arduino atmega328? The display works on the spi interface. Atmega has a hardware spi, this particular peak does not. At the same time compare the memory of these controllers.
Choose a different microcontroller model.

A strange choice for a beginner. You must understand that Arduino did not appear out of dampness, but due to the fact that any MK requires strapping at least at the level of quartz and more or less sane outputs for connecting peripherals. Arduino already has all this + no programming problems + 100,500 different ready-made libraries, incl. and for the screen of your choice.
As for the essence, it didn't occur to you to compare the PIC you chose with the atmega328, the first one definitely loses. The fact that there is no hardware SPI (as others have written) is not a problem, but the fact that there is 4 times less data memory, and 8 times less program memory. To be honest, such a screen even on Arduino is like a saddle for a cow, and at your peak you basically won’t run it.
For good, if you really want to learn MK, buy an inexpensive Arduino kit for beginners and play until you get bored.
