No Display with ESP32 #32
Description
Hello, I am trying to get this code working, but i have not got any display., i can get the code to compile, but no display ever comes up on the 4.2 display.
(from the examples, removed lines for 3colour and other size displays)
Hello, I am trying to get this code working, but i have not got any display., i can get the code to compile, but no display ever comes up on the 4.2 display.
a) wiring:
r/esp32 - WEACT Studio 4.2 E Paper Display w ESP32 Wroom 32
b) ESP32 Board -
r/esp32 - WEACT Studio 4.2 E Paper Display w ESP32 Wroom 32
actual board from amazon:
r/esp32 - WEACT Studio 4.2 E Paper Display w ESP32 Wroom 32
c) code: (example) plus my adapted code with removed lines
#include <GxEPD2_BW.h>
#include <Fonts/FreeMonoBold9pt7b.h>
// ESP32 CS(SS)=5,SCL(SCK)=18,SDA(MOSI)=23,BUSY=4,RES(RST)=16,DC=17
#define CS_PIN (5)
#define BUSY_PIN (4)
#define RES_PIN (16)
#define DC_PIN (17)
// Example for a 4.2" b/w display, adjust pins for your ESP32/Arduino
GxEPD2_BW<GxEPD2_420, GxEPD2_420::HEIGHT> display(GxEPD2_420(/CS=/ 5, /DC=/ 17, /RST=/ 16, /BUSY=/ 4));
