Hi everyone,
I am trying to configure this waveshare display (1024x600) 5inch with esphome but I can’t find out the right display declaration (driver) to use.

Any advice?

If u need I can provide the link to the tech spcecification

Thank you

Matteo

That would be helpful, probably necessary.

Here the link to the product:

Here the link to the waveshare wiki:

Ps: I owned the 1024 x 600 one

Thank you very much in advance for any help

Looks to be similar to the 4.3 board in configuration. There are topics here discussing it.

In the wiki it points to the ST7262 datasheet so I guess that is what it has.

Hi there,
Thank you very much for the support.
Right now I was able to validate the configuration of most of the code verifying all the pins and other stuff in the tech documentation of the product. What I was not able to find is the PIN about the backlight. For the CrowPanel 5.0" HMI ESP32 display (by Elecrow) I find this snippet code:

psram:
  mode: octal
  speed: 80MHz
output:
  - platform: ledc
    pin: 2
    frequency: 1220
    id: gpio_backlight_pwm
light:
  - platform: monochromatic
    output: gpio_backlight_pwm
    name: Display Backlight
    id: back_light
    restore_mode: ALWAYS_ON

I have a lot of doubt about the Pin, probably is not 2 and about the others parameters.

Could you please help?

Thank You in advance

Regards

The backlight will be the DISP pin in the I/O table - pin 2 on the CH422 expander. It won’t be usable with PWM so you’ll just have to use a binary light.

Thank you for the support. Clear for the pin.
I don’t know what to do with the code. Is it right in that way? I mean the one in my previous post.

Thanks
