5inch display ILI6122 & ILI5960 need help to add it to ESPHome

xFallon · February 14, 2024, 8:00pm

Hi Radon240 Maxim and cotthemh Herwig
my display works fine.

The problem may be in the parameter settings in elecrow-esp32-s3-tft-50.ini
In the original libraries “LovyanGFX Library” and “Ardunio_GFX Library” Bus Settings, when I searched for the background of connecting the display and the touchpad, there are different values.
I would try to compile openHASP with this other values.
As:

...
    ; Panel Settings ILI6122/LI5960
    -D TFT_WIDTH=800            ;800 /* width */,
    -D TFT_HEIGHT=480           ;480 /* height */, 

    -D TFT_HSYNC_POLARITY=0     ;0 /* hsync_polarity */,
    -D TFT_HSYNC_FRONT_PORCH=8  ;8 /* hsync_front_porch */, 
    -D TFT_HSYNC_PULSE_WIDTH=1  ;???Pio_4 /* hsync_pulse_width */ ???Ard_1 /* hsync_pulse_width */,
    -D TFT_HSYNC_BACK_PORCH=32  ;???Pio_43 /* hsync_back_porch */,???Ard_32 /* hsync_back_porch */,    
    -D TFT_VSYNC_POLARITY=0     ;0 /* vsync_polarity */,
    -D TFT_VSYNC_FRONT_PORCH=8  ;8 /* vsync_front_porch */,  
    -D TFT_VSYNC_PULSE_WIDTH=1  ;???Pio_4 /* vsync_pulse_width */ ???Ard_1 /* vsync_pulse_width */,   
    -D TFT_VSYNC_BACK_PORCH=8   ;Pio_12 /* vsync_back_porch */ ???Ard_ 8 /* vsync_back_porch */,   
    -D TFT_PCLK_ACTIVE_NEG=1    ;1 /* pclk_active_neg */,
    -D TFT_PREFER_SPEED=16000000  ;16000000 /* prefer_speed */
    -D TFT_AUTO_FLUSH=1         ;true /* auto_flush */
...

???Pio_x value is from PlatformIO Elecrow demo projects.
???Ard_x value is from Arduino Elecrow demo projects.
I did not deal with the values in more detail, because my display worked well the first time.

Here is a link to a modified download of the zipped openHASP project

Try my bin. openHASP version is v0.7.0

Hello everyone,
I saw that ESPHome has just added the driver:

Drivers for RGB 16 bit parallel displays esphome#5872 by @clydebarrow (new-integration)

Has anyone tried with an Elecrow ESP?

Hi,
Elecrow 7inch ( not 5inch ) added to openHASP.
For those who want to try, it’s the Crowpanel 7" model on the openHASP Nightly page.

https://nightly.openhasp.com/

I’ve update by OTA, from 0.7.0-rc8 to 0.7.0-rc12 version. It’s good.
If you have any issues, report them on this issue CrowPanel 7 Inch support. · Issue #684 · HASwitchPlate/openHASP · GitHub

WarC0zes · April 24, 2024, 3:39am

Hi,
for those who have the 5 inch model, it has been added and will be available in the next release.
Thank to marsman7.

EDIT 2024/05/24:
Hi,
5 inch model, add to flash page. have fun !

Yes, and I’ve put together a cut down template which initialises the display, touchscreen and backlight (as a monochromatic light) here:

I’ve developed and tested this with ESPhome 2024.5.5 and a panel marked with as “Wizee-ESP32” / “WZ8048C050”

The pclk_frequency has taken some balancing - examples online have it around 16 MHz, but that seems to cause significant issues with WiFi on my board. Reducing the frequency improves things, but it becomes a balance between an audible (to me) whistle vs a slight flicker.

Hi caelor

Thats a start. Tried to adapt to the 7 inch version that has different pin definition. I have still issue with the output. The test card seems not to show it rather changes the whole display to different colors and the shows a black one. the lambda test circles and such you defined are not showing at all.

Any idea where I am wrong? here my yaml
