If you use my guide as a starting point, but you will need to make some adjustments for the fact it is a different screen.

first off the pin names might be a bit different (but generally similar) try these
VCC - 3.3v
GND - gnd
CS - gpio 8 (pin 24)
RESET - gpio 25 (pin 22)
AO - gpio 24 (pin 18)
SDA - gpio 10 (pin 19)
SCK - gpio 11 (pin 23)
LED - 3.3v (can be the same as pin 1)

you will also need to change the fbtft.cfg compared to the one in my guide
