Board Layout

Quick Setup

Step 1 – Add ESP32 Board Support for Arduino IDE

Open File -> Preferences and add this URL to Additional Boards Manager URLs:
https://espressif.github.io/arduino-esp32/package_esp32_index.json

Step 2 – Boards Manager

Open Tools → Board → Boards Manager, search for esp32, and install:
ESP32 by Espressif Systems

Step 3 – Library Manager

Open Sketch → Include Library → Manage Libraries, search for TFT_eSPI, and install the library.

Step 4 – Configure User_Setup.h file

Locate and edit User_Setup.h inside the TFT_eSPI library to match the E32R28T display configuration.

Make sure the following definitions are uncommented in User_Setup.h file

Section 1. 

#define ILI9341_DRIVER // Generic driver for common displays ILI9341V

Section 2. Define the pins that are used to interface with the display here

#define TFT_BL 21 // LED back-light control pin

// For ESP32 Dev board (only tested with ILI9341 display)

#define TFT_MISO 12

#define TFT_MOSI 13

#define TFT_SCLK 14

#define TFT_CS 15 // Chip select control pin

#define TFT_DC 2 // Data Command control pin

#define TFT_RST -1 // Set TFT_RST to -1 if display RESET is connected to ESP32 board RST

Special Note

The E32R28T display does not use standard SPI pin assignments.

If you prefer not to edit the User_Setup.h file the following definitions can be added to the top of your program

#define TFT_BL 21 // LED back-light control pin

#define TFT_MISO 12

#define TFT_MOSI 13

#define TFT_SCLK 14

#define TFT_CS 15 // Chip select control pin

#define TFT_DC 2 // Data Command control pin

#define TFT_RST -1 // Reset is handled by ESP32 

Section 2. Define the pins that are used to interface with the display here

#define TFT_BL 21 // LED back-light control pin

For more information about Pin Assignments for the E32R28T see Pin Asignments in Resources

Sample Code

This example will only work if User_Setup.h is correctly updated by display driver and pins
