Waveshare ESP32-S3 7inch Capacitive Touch LCD Development Board, ESP32 with Display, 800×480, 5-Point Touch, 240MHz, Supports WiFi, Onboard Antenna, Suitable for ESPHome/Home Assistant Project

Very nice device

Used for a homegrown ESPHome project utilising LVGL - works without any hassle and as expected. Only small thing to be aware of, was the need to install the CH340 driver to be able to flash the unit...

Pretty good, programmed with the LVGL for home assistant, there is also openHASP which you can make work on these devices. Hardware is fine, nice it comes with flyleads for all the ports and mounting screws and posts. One star knocked off because the documentation on the waveshare wiki could use some improvement. I wanted to know the GPIO pins for the sensor port so I could use it for a presence detector (to put the screen to sleep when the room was empty) and I had to end up looking through their example code...as I just couldn't find it documented anywhere else. The use of a GPIO pin and a soldered on wire to the test point to have a brightness control is a little annoying, but you can turn the backlight on and off without it by toggling pin 2 of the ch422g. It also catches everyone out that if you don't enable this pin and set it high in your code the display won't be visible. Again none of this is well documented on the waveshare site. you have to hunt through what they do in their example code. Fix the documentation though and for the money this is a solid and well made screen and would be a 5 star review...the touch works great without any calibration, contrast levels etc are all good.

if the code is wrong, as it is then how can you learn from this kit.

It's a lovely piece of kit but challenging to get your programs up and running. I've used it with both eps32's panel driver and LovanGFX driver to great effect. I didn't want to use LVGL. The IPS screen is really good, especially compared to the usual tft screens. Not for novice coders but well worth the effort. Beware the I2C address usage of its onboard extender - it really does use loads of addresses up.

Received as advertised, for the price I think it’s a great start if you are interested in esp32 combination with lcd and touch. My advice from my journey sofar: - start with the docs waveshare have on their website - dev environment: visual studio code ide + isp-edf extension - get the code from the demo preinstalled on your esp32 (see docs) - this will give you a good starting point for playing around with lvgl and custom integrations.

Niedopracowany produkt. Nie da się w żaden sposób użyć Wi-Fi i wyświetlacza jednocześnie na wbudowanej pamięci. Wi-Fi zakłóca ekran nawet na najmniejszej mocy. Na tym ekranie uruchomisz swój projekt pod warunkiem, że nie korzysta z Wi-Fi. Z tym problemem nie poradził sobie żaden AI. Gotowe biblioteki nie radzą sobie z ttm problemem, ręczne zmiany również nie dają wyraźnej poprawy. Jak można sprzedawać tak niedopracowany produkt?

Bon produit, fonctionne bien sur esphome/home assistant

Prodotto di buon livello anche se leggermente obsoleto (ci sono schede Waveshare a risoluzione superiore). Richiede una discreta esperienza per l'uso, io uso l'ambiente Arduino e qualunque programma dipende da varie librerie per i componenti della scheda e non sempre sono allineate con le demo, il mio consiglio è di usare le demo solo come linea guida, utilizzando le versioni aggiornate delle librerie da Github per provare le funzioni separatamente prima di lanciarsi su una HCI con LVGL.

Ich habe dieses Display zur Haussteuerung ins Wohnzimmer gehängt. Bis es mal gelaufen ist, haben ich schon einige Stunden Zeit verbracht. Display ausschalten funktioniert nur, wenn man den Pin selber verlötet. Sollte für Techniker aber kein Problem sein. Hinten habe ich eine "Raspberry Pi LCD-Touchscreen-Hülle" hier von Amazon verwendet und die Erhöhung abgeschnitten. Wichtig: In der Arduino IDE den Eintrag PSRAM auf Enable stellen, damit man was am Bild sieht. Das Display schaut gut aus und funktioniert einwandfrei. Ideal für jeden der sich eine Haussteuerung selber machen möchte.
