juergs/ESP32_GC9A01_Breadboard

Repository files navigation

Using ESP32 to experience the basics of using TFT_eSPI-library and more sensors as GPS, Compass, LoRA etc. The underlying Library used for the display is Bodmer/TFT_eSPI. Bodmer/TFT_eSPI. GC9A01-Tutorial and raspioverlay TFT_eSPI-sprite usage

PlatformIO configuration

This is the first working version not adjusted to actual display size of 240x240 pixels with round shape:

I am using the Wemos Mini D1 ESP2 - board, which is not usable for breadboard usage, because it uses double row headers. But works fine for manual soldering on these pcbs.

Primary connection schema:

ESP32-pin gpio
scl 18
sda/miso 19
dc 27
cs 5
rst 33

I'm using this eps32 pin configuration TFT_eSPI in User_Setup.h:

This schematic shows the wemos mini d1 ESP32 pinout from the botton side (!).

Some GPIO-pins (12,13,14,15) are exclusively reserved for openOCD-Debugging with PlatformIO.
