While its a nice display, and I have one running at home on an arduino mega, it wont run from a nano as it needs too many I/O pins. More than a nano has.
Its designed to connect to the bus on the Mega.
It's not just a matter if it is SPI or not. Of course it should be SPI, but the important thing is the chipset.
See the first post of this thread for some pictures of the TFT - ILI9341 320x240, I think that all of them have red pcb's
If it can be driven as a ILI9341, maybe it will work I don't know.
I just don't understand why taking risks, and not just buy the tested and recommended models. They cost almost the same price ($0.10 difference) and for the recommended models there are available info about how to wire them to the WD board.
I have now bought an identical one to this link but screen switches on but no digits, have chosen "1" in the software config. RX board, latest version software;
hooked up as follows:
SCLK>SCK
MOSI> SDI(MOSI)
MISO> NOT CONNECTED
CS>CS
RST>RESET
DC>D/C
5V>VCC
GND>GND
LED+>LED
LED-> NOT CONNECTED

Are you connecting it to the RX board or do you mean WD board?
If WD board, what really happens?

It is RX v4.02 fully assembled board as bought off you recently.

Those ILIILI9341 TFT displays we are talking here are intended to be used only with the Wireless Display units (WD boards), they require 3.3V volt logic, and can't be connected to the RX board.
The RX boards also have support for a TFT display, but it must be a 1.8" 128X160 SPI TFT Display (ST7735 driver).
Anyway, as your RX board already have the flah memory, I don't recomend using a TFT display with it, just because you will loose the hardware data logger capability. Both can't be run at the same time.
Actually the better choise for the all RX units is a 20x4 serial LCD display.
There are already lots of info about this on the forum
