Paulo Robalo asked 22 hours ago

Hello,
Regarding the Learn LVGL: Build GUIs for ESP32 Projects ebook, you state:
Or, if you want to use a separate TFT LCD with a regular ESP32, you need:

  • TFT LCD Resistive Touchscreen Display – 2.8 inch ILI9341 240×320
  • ESP32 DOIT board (or similar ESP32 model)

1- Is it possible to use an ESP32-S3 board (the one with 2 USB connectors) ?
2- Is it possible to use a 4inch LCD, as long as it is has an ILI9341 controller and a resistive touch pannel ?
Thanks!

Hi.
 
I think it is possible to use the EPS32-S3, however I haven’t tried it myself with a display. I’m not sure if there is some sort of incompatibility.
 
But I think it should be ok. However, the ESP32-S3 has a different pinout, so you need to study its pinout and choose the pins to wire to the LCD carefully.
 
Yes, you can use another LCD. If it is resistive and has the same controller, the code should be compatible. But, you’ll probably need to modify the display dimensions in the configuration files.
 
Regards
Sara
