esp32-s3 + ili_9488

Hi, I have a question…
I don't know if I'm in the right place, but I have a problem with initializing the ILI_9488(hsd035577a5) screen.
It's about the ESP32-S3-WROOM-1 module.

My programming and connection knowledge is about 2/100.

This is my pinout configuration:

 #define TFT_MISO 14  // SDO(MISO)
#define TFT_MOSI 11  // SDI(MOSI)
#define TFT_SCLK 12  // SCK
#define TFT_CS   10  // Chip select control pin
#define TFT_DC    9  // Data Command control pin
#define TFT_RST  18  // Reset pin
#define TFT_BL(led)    5  // LED back-light control pin

I tryed Bodmers lib with many others but i failed.

Some pictures of the components are attached.

If you need any other information so you can help me, please be free to contact me.

Would really appreciate some help.

Thanks.

If you mean this library https://github.com/Bodmer/TFT_eSPI then you are probably using Arduino? This is not Arduino forum. Arduino is not Espruino. Maybe this forum https://forum.arduino.cc/ is better for your question. Or maybe even this place https://github.com/Bodmer/TFT_eSPI/discussions

look, im just trying to make this display to work, i dont care how and with what programing language.

If you want to try Espruino with that display and your "programming and connection knowledge is about 2/100" then using some other board than S3 would be much easier. Older ESP32 (without any Sx,Cx or Hx) works, C3 was added recently, S3 is not there yet.

I have a project on my mind where i need enough pins and connection capability.

I want to make worlds first fully automated single column verticall hydroponic system with 100% controlablle enviroment for home growing people (commerciall use).

I lied when i said its 2/100 its more like 15.9/100.

Trying to make greenhouse controller with 2-3 sensor inputs, display with touch(trying to find AMOLED for ESP, i would be happy with 3,5"LED TFT).
Devices :( heater, cooler, humidifer, dehumifier, motor(for shutters), solenoid valve, water pump, and eventualy 5 more diafragm small pumps(for fertilizers).

@mr_zec,

great to hear... and btw, mileage always varies when it comes to programming: 2/..., 15.9/... and even when you mastered close to 100/100, something comes along and throws you 'right back down to the bottom of the barrel'.

Take a look at Modular and extensible UI framework and ui elements for the ui coding part... you are just right there with display... ILI... and touch screen control w/ XPT2046.

An Espruino board can do the work just fine, an ESP32 can do too.

Since you said 15.9/..., I assume you have some html and javascript dirt - next to real one - under your fingernails: The UI as described in the forum @ the link above lets you right out of the box cross develop what you want and it is a small matter it then to push onto an actual device connected with the sensors.

In the cross development environment, locally in the browser with just an editor of your choice, you can also put your sw to the test wringer, since tooling is so easy to achieve. Emulating a sensor is at worst a matter of creating a small piece javascript that you connect to an html button - or other ui element - in the cross development view and off you are.

In Post #7 of that conversation, there is a downloadable with examples. Unzip into any folder and open ./uixdev/uiExampleSelect.html in the browser and enjoy (and (gh)post me).
