Support for Elecrow ESP Terminal? (ESP32-S3)

[Underestimated]

Hi team,
Hoping this is the right way to request investigation.

I've gotten my hands on an Elecrow ESP Terminal with 3.5inch SPI Capacitive Touch Display.
( https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/products/esp-terminal-3-5-inch-480x320-spi-tft-capacitive-touch-display-with-ov2640-camera )
and I want to try getting openHASP to run on it.

It looks like the current releases don't have support for it yet, but I've seen you're implementing the Makerfabs MaTouch_ESP32-S3 in a near release, which is related.

This board runs off a ESP32-S3 module, with a ILI9488 Capacitive Touch Screen on a FT6236 touch controller. (16mb flash 8mb psram) it has a camera module and header but I've removed that as I'm really interested only in the touchscreen.

Seeing as you're working on a board that isn't far from the specs of this one, I wanted to see if you could implement this one as well, so I can give it a shot?

The wiki with schematics and pinouts for the board is at https://www.elecrow.com/wiki/index.php?title=ESP_Terminal_with_3.5inch_SPI_Capacitive_Touch_Display

Either way thanks in advance!

Thanks for bringing the ESP Terminal to our attention, these devices will be added soon.

You can find it from Github under the Actions tab. Click on the last successful build and scroll down to download the elecrow.zip file from the asset list.

Hi,

I'm a bit of a Github noob. Could you explain in a bit more detail where the elecrow.zip file is for someone like me? I went to the actions tab and got totally lost.

Thanks!

At the bottom of each successful run you find a list of Artifacts i.e. zip files containing the firmwares per manufacturer. You download the elecrow.zip at the bottom of the last run.

Hello,

Progress! I used esp32-terminal-rgb_full_16MB_v0.7.0-rc9_c200edf.bin and installed it using the esphome.io web flasher.
I got the wifi configuration screen and configured my wifi details.

The next screen I got displayed "plate" in the top left corner but nothing else.

Did I use the correct bin file?

This is the device I am using so I think it's the correct bin file.

Any idea of what went wrong?

Thanks!

B.

Nothing's wrong. Plate is just a placeholder, now you need to upload a pages.jsonl file to setup your device.

I have the same device Elecrow ESP Terminal with 3.5inch SPI Capacitive Touch Display
https://www.elecrow.com/esp-terminal-3-5-inch-320-480-spi-tft-capacitive-touch-display-with-ov2640-camera.html

and was able flash it successfully using esp32-terminal-spi_full_16MB_v0.7.0-rc9_33d21e0.bin

Everything works as intended.

Would it be possible to add camera support and display the camera's stream directly on the screen?

Hi @rasel99

Would you be able to share the pin assignments you used in your config for:
DC
RESET
SPI CLK
SPI MOSI - 13?
SPI MISO - 14?

The documentation that came with the terminal was a little unclear

Thanks

[fvanroie]

@rasel99 Can you please share your config file?

[Lateralleap]

Thanks for following up. I thought the case was closed I have since returned the device
