How to run esp32_3248s035c on arduino platform ?

[eagl1]

Hi,

I'm trying to compile and program this display on arduino ide.

I have the esp32_3248s035c 3.5" capacitive display.

Is there any source code that I can adapt for my programming ?

Hi Eagl1,

I haven't made any provisions for Arduino GUI bit think that zipping the library directory and defining the defines in the boards definition should do the trick...
I can however recommend switching to PlatformIO!

That's what I'm doing now, it fails to program the board. I think it's hardware issue because it didn't program on different methods.

I tried platformio, arduino ide and flash tool.

Note: This error originates from pySerial. It is likely not a problem with esptool, but with the hardware connection or drivers.

I switched to platformio and got it to work.

It didn't work previously, because I didn't installed it in the default install location. I should let the install procedure go as is especially with vs code.

Now it's working.

Also, these are the issues I found for this display to get it to work on Arduino platform:

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// issues for SPI display in arduino ide 
// ESP32_3248S035
1. Not programming --> install CH340 2019 driver
2. Programming but no display data 
   --> erase all flash before sketch upload
   --> enable PSRAM --> not important
