Hi,
I recently got a new GC9A01 display, but I haven’t been able to get it working with an ESP32S3.
I found a really helpful guide by Mark Lucking HERE but even following that, I still couldn’t get it to work. Here’s what I’ve managed so far:
----- Code
#include <TFT_eSPI.h>
#include <SPI.h>
#define USE_TFT_ESPI_LIBRARY
#include “lv_xiao_round_screen.h”
lv_coord_t touchX, touchY;
void setup() {
// put your setup code here, to run once:
Serial.begin(115200);
pinMode(TOUCH_INT, INPUT_PULLUP);
Wire.begin();
// Initialise the screen
tft.init();
tft.setRotation(0);
tft.fillScreen(TFT_BLACK);
}
void loop() {
//put your main code here, to run repeatedly:
if(chsc6x_is_pressed())
{
Serial.println(“The display is touched.”);
chsc6x_get_xy(&touchX, &touchY);
tft.drawCircle(touchX, touchY, 15, TFT_WHITE);
}
delay(500);
}
