That is the custom component. It has a version number independent to the firmware.
When I say independent, I mean as long as you run the custom component on the same major version as the firmware you should be OK. In this case 0.6 is the major, so 0.6.3 custom should work with 0.6.2 firmware, but you can’t mix, say 0.6.3 custom with 0.5 firmware.
Has anyone had experience purchasing this screen? I ordered and paid and have heard nothing, except the email from Paypal confirming they have paid for my purchase. emails to [email protected] go unanswered. 9 days, and I would expect a shipping number or something.
I did receive an EMS tracking number for my NScreen32. Not sure about the shipping delay, but 9 days to receive a tracking seems quite long indeed. I received the package after 18 days via China Post.
That is a Raspberry Pi display with an ESP32 board stuck to the back. Due to the position of the display header it stands nicely on its own with no case.
What do you see when you monitor the mqtt topic? Does the .val get send?
I suppose none of the values match and it defaults to p6b4.val=0. Maybe change the {% else -%} value to -1 or some other marker so you know nothing was matched… for troubleshooting.
Hi, I am very new to the hardware side of things, but always eager to try new things. Is it appropriate to ask questions here regarding the hardware side if the setup? I am struggling a bit with getting the screen working with the esp32. I am quite sure I do not know what I am doing. I have the app up and running on a LOLIN D32 Pro V2.0.0. I was able to configure the wifi and I can get to the web admin panel of it via a browser. I am attempting to use the Lolin tft 2.4 for the touch screen. I soldered header pins onto the D32 and thats about as far as I can get. I played around with aligning the inner rows and I can get the backlight to come on, but thats it. I see in the instructions it says To use PWM dimming on the Lolin TFT 2.4" you must connect the TFT-LED pin to either D1, D2 or D4. D1 is recommended for backlight control and configured by default. I see that picture and it highlights an area in red, how are you supposed to “connect” that? All new to me. Would love pics on how to line up the D32 to the screen and how to connect the led to the D1. Thanks for any help.
Hi, for the Lolin D32 Pro you can actually use the special TFT connector in the center of the board and attach it to the same TFT connector on the side of the LCD. It will connect all the necessary pins using a single cable. The solder pads are only needed for boards that plug directly onto the pin-header on the backside of the LCD…
Now, you could also connect everything using jumper cables to these GPIOs:
Thanks for the reply! I am using the incorrect firmware for starters :). I will give that a shot. I have a kit on the way to make a cable for the TFT connector. Thank you for the help. I will check out the GitHub discussion.
