Dark screen / no blink on RGB LED / on ESP32-3248S035C BOARD

[baeosk103]

HI

my issue : the ESP32-3248S035C BOARD can't run with the esp32-smartdisplay-demo code.
help need : how to make this board run as proper

I am very new on the platformio and esp32-smartdisplay/sunton. I try clone this link https://github.com/rzeldent/esp32-smartdisplay-demo and I keep them in my local Github folder "esp32-smartdisplay-demo". I open VSC-platformio and open the project by choose the "esp32-smartdisplay-demo" folder which I downloaded . Every thing look good for me but the vsc-platformio show only esp32-1932S019C file in the folder "../.pio/libdeps/" after I open the project for few minute.

I think there is something wrong ,There is no ESP32-3248S035C board which I plan to test on the demo code.

Therefore I think that I should select my boards ESP32-3248S035S in the the .ini file.

So I change some line in the platformio.ini file at the project level by remove the # from that line to be "default envs = esp32-3248S035C".

In the SRC/main.cpp I add "#define BOARD_HAS_RGB_LED 1 and #define BAORD_HAS_CDS 1" on top of main.cpp. I build the project again at this moment there are the additional folder "esp32-3248S035C" made in the .pio/build and .pio/libdeps .There are somes file inside these 2 folders.

After that I think they should be OK to go so I upload to my board, anyway there are nothing display("dark") on the screen , there are no RGB led blinks and they can't show any QR pic, flag pic or any CDS sensor value.

I need help/advise from the community how can I make this board work properly.

Note : I test this board alone by use the TFT_ESPI basic graphic on arduino ,the display work well and all RGB also work well.

//////////////////////////
other test : I test the cloned esp32-smartdisplay-demo with the other boards by remove # from the platformio.ini file. for the esp32-2432S028Rv3 board and the esp32-4880S07C board ,both of them can build , upload and run as the demo code should be.

For the esp32-2432S028Rv3 , it show the RGB-LED blink and the CDS also work in order when I put the hand on the sensors, the sensor value was changed . The display show the count button , rotate button , QR code pic and the flag pic , the screen can rotate when I touch the rotate button.

I Have the same issue, but worse, because I don't get a serial response

Hi,

First of all, the platformio.ini is outdated (or develop branch). Take a look at https://github.com/rzeldent/esp32-smartdisplay/blob/main/platformio.ini.
By default, all the boards are built. If you want only your board to be compiled, you can uncomment your board at the top of the platformio.ini file.

However, the esp32-smartdisplay is a library. This is only to test if it compiles. You have to include it somewhere to use it.
Please take a look at the https://github.com/rzeldent/esp32-smartdisplay-demo project to see how to use it...

Goog luck!

Hi rzeldent

Great for your advise .

So far I copy the source code of main.cpp and their ui from the esp32-smartdisplay-demo which I loaded from your link , I can see the board esp32-3248S035C in the .pio , I can build the project and upload to my board but there are no display show on LCD.

I did for the esp32 -2432S028Rv3 and esp32-4880S07C boards which I have on hands, both of them worked well so I just wonder for the esp32-3248S035C board.

Yesterday I tried another way by build the new project copying the esp32-3248S035C.json to the my local folder .platformio/platform/boards , I could build , upload but the result are the same , there are no display, no rgb blink.

I will back and test as your guide again.

Do anybody have any experience work well on this board model?

Thanks

Hi rzeldent

I try re-experiment from the green field again by
A. Starting test with esp32-2423S028Rv3

• I download with github-desktop program from the esp32-smartdispaly-demo links.
• I move this download folder to the project folder inside the vsc-platformio.
• I start copy the board definition for the esp32-2432S028Rv3.json into the boards folder in the vsc-platformio
• I remove # from the platformio.ini file to activate only the esp32-24-32S028Rv3.
• After the few minutes the the system start config the project and generate the pio folder which has the build folder and libdeps folder.
• I add the #define BOARD_USE_RGB_LED 1 and #define BAORD_HAS_CDS 1 in the main.cpp in the src folder of my project to show the features on my boards.
• I build the project base on esp32-2432s028Rv3 board, It took me several minutes but they are built successful.
• I upload to my board esp32-2432s028Rv3 , the result is quite good as my attached photo.

B. Start testing with ESP32-3248S035C board
I start from the green field ,the same step which I did for the ESP32-2432S028RV3.
I can't see any response from the experiment , I capture the result in the attached photo

Hi rezeldent can you advise which process/step or the config which I did wrong between I try experiment with esp32-3248S035C board.

Thanks a lot

rezeldent

your reply is great, I change the size of buffer as your guide "'-D LVGL_BUFFER_PIXELS=(DISPLAY_WIDTH*DISPLAY_HEIGHT/16)'", ,my board work on the fly after I upload them.

I think that we can use 320480/8 (for esp32-3248S035C/R.json) as well since it equivalent to the 240320/4(esp32-2432S028Rv3.json). They also work well in my test.

Cheers.

This worked for me. Now on to my next issues....
