A hello world sketch for the WT32-SC01 ESP32 Development board

A demo Arduino sketch for the WT32-SC01.

To install:

1. Clone this repo.
2. Set up your Arduino IDE with ESP32 support.
3. In your Arduino libraries directory, clone a fork of Adafruit_FT6206_Library that allows overriding the I2C GPIO pins in the Arduino Wire library.
4. Add TFT_eSPI via Arduino's library manager.
5. Configure TFT_eSPI by copying WT32-SC01-User_Setup.h from this directory to wherever you keep your TFT_eSPI user setup files (read that project's documentation to see how to do that), and then point TFT_eSPI to that header file.

Now build and flash to your device. If everything goes well, you'll see a rotating cube on the screen, and when you tap the screen, the background will alternate between black and green.

Thanks to seaniefs for getting me started. This project is basically a redo of that project, but updated for a newer version of the Adafruit touchscreen library.

wt32-sc01-demo's Issues

In WT32-SC01-User_Setup.h a line needs to be uncommented for the WT32-SC01 to work properly

In WT32-SC01-User_Setup.h a line needs to be uncommented for the WT32-SC01

Uncomment the following line:
// #define TFT_BACKLIGHT_ON HIGH // Level to turn ON back-light (HIGH or LOW)

Make the change above.
Then copy the file into your TFT_eSPI\User_Setups folder.
Then add the following line to your User_Setup_Select.h file:
#include <User_Setups/WT32-SC01-User_Setup.h> // Setup file for WC32-SC01
Then comment out the following line in User_Setup_Select.h:
#include <User_Setup.h> // Default setup is root library folder
Now the examples from the TFT_eSPI library (not including the touch examples) work fine.

Once this is done I am still getting "Couldn't start touchscreen controller" on the demo. :-(

Touch not working

Really happy to find your repo, but i still can't make it work.

This is what i did
First removed original Adafruit_FT6206.h library and installed the one you pointed out.
When first compiled, I got an error that TFT_BL was not defined.

No wonder since the serial port showed the following output:

09:56:56.804 -> Couldn't start touchscreen controller

This comes from this subroutine:

if (!ts.begin(18, 19, 40)) {
Serial.println("Couldn't start touchscreen controller");
while (true);
}

What is the TFT_BL pin you defined ?

Many thanks

Erik

Cropped Display as 320x240

Hi, thank you for awesome help for WT32, I did exact procedures by your tutorial and I able to run the example code. Problem is that, display size is became 320x240 which is originally 480x320. Remaining parts are looks like white noise as blank. Is there something I missed.
Thanks

copying a library to change it?

How is copying a library to change it makes it a library? Isn't a library suppose to be universal for any projects? I do not understand the logic of this coding. Is there a way to use the library without changing it?
