Best ESP32 board with AMOLED display - LilyGo T4 S3

Today, I have a new ESP32 board with an AMOLED display. The board is produced by LilyGo, and this is their top product in the AMOLED line. In this video, I will show you the UI I made for this board, explain how to install and use it, and share all my files and code for the Arduino IDE. I hope you will enjoy.

Support me on:

Many thanks to all my supporters; you've made my life easier.
Thank you!

Would love a video on how you design these dashboards. To go through the entire process

Small tip: As the polarity of Lipo are reverse you can just swap the pins in the JST connector (remove them carefully). Much easier than resolder new cables.

That is a beatiful UI, congratulations and thank you!

The timing was off releasing this board! I just received the smaller board a couple of days ago but I'm already wanting this bigger unit.

Your video featuring the attitude sensor is my current interest. That graphic sized to fit this board would be practical to view in an experimental aircraft.

Another practical application for homebuilt aircraft would be to make a compass display with the ability to enter compass deviation values to correct for shifting magnetic poles. That's a very basic gauge to have in small aircraft.

Thank you for very pedagogical and informative videos! If you want to increase the frame rate of the larger screen only update the sections that need to, do not push the background, unless it has changed. Encapsulate the different elements. For instance write the label, number and rectangle of income to a small sprite and then push that to the screen. you probably double the frame rate doing that. if you take it one step further you can draw antialiasing rectangles once (in background step) and just use a smaller square to update the different elements. this way you gain two things, organization and performance.

Get yourself a polarisation filter for your camera to remove reflexions when you capture glass surfaces. If you don't have a camera where you can screw filters on, you can Just tape the filter over your lens.

Wow, what an amazing product with so many use cases. Thank you for inspiring us with your fantastic UI and also sharing it for us to learn and use.

Thanks for this great introduction to T4 display. I managed to cancel my T3-S3 Touch order and will order this instead. You are a great Lilygo ambassador! 🎉

I got my T4 S3 display about a week ago. I got this one after I had a good experience with their T-Display S3 AMOLED Touch display but found the 1.91-inch display a little too small. I use Squareline Studio for designing the UI and I have a smooth workflow for this. Both boards are up and running as displays for a model airplane weighing and C-of-G scale. The displays on both these AMOLED boards are very beautiful. The only manufacturing defect I have noticed on my T4 S3 that the screen bezel was glued on the screen slightly askew. But it is only noticeable if I draw a thin border on the display or have lines drawn close to the edges of the screen. The smaller display also had a defect where the screen would flicker if pressure was put on one corner of the screen. But after fiddling with the connector ribbon between the board and screen, the problem never happened again.

This guy knows how to make a nice UI. How in the world do you mount this in a real application? I think so many of these boards just seem to be for tinkering, but not a real application.

I love your content (personage and presentation) ..
I appreciate your generosity and positivity.
Thank YOU !

Very nice. I'm glad to see that an on/off switch has become a standard addition to many boards. I don't know why it's taken so long to get to this point, but it makes me happy.

How is your project to get rich going? I always feel like a video isn't complete without you saying that you're going to get rich from your affiliate links. 😁

Love the quality of the graphics and the extra real estate. Thanks for sharing!

[samsonstrike]

THX Sir! perfect Design! -PS there are different Memory versions of the TTGO - i couldnt upload the full scetch last time... Always some Input - never stop learning.. 😎

[jago]

It's looks great! Your interface is (as usual) fantastic. A little bit expensive for my taste but hopefully the price will come down a bit.

[chipko]

That looks amazing! Thanks for covering this. The on of switch is incredibly useful and i have to manually add them for my t display s3.

Now i want one! I also need to find a waterproof version for my swimming laps counter! I can 3d print a case but probably silicone to add more waterproofing

[BlondieSL]

Now that is nice!
I love the filet corners.

Clarity is amazing as is the resolution! I did not see that kind of res happening on such a small screen.

But at that price point, I'll wait for them to come down. That's just way too expensive for such a small device.

I can not justify it when for that price, I can buy (and have a bunch) of ESP32 WROOM boards with Nextion 2.4" or 2.8" displays. Even Nextion Enhanced.

So I'll wait for these T4s to come down in price.. But definitely on my radar now.

[igordasunddas]

This is awesome. Especially if one was to make it work with e.g. Tasmota ir something. Love the versatility of it.

[RichardNobel]

Nice U.I. design (yet again) 😎👍 And it really 'shines' on that AMOLED display. ✨

[kennethbeal]

Thank you! That looks like it'd be great to combine with Home Assistant. I'm putting up cameras, and planning to add other sensors and Home Assistant is a nice open source solution that can tie a bunch of things together. Wonder if you might be able to write a dashboard for that device? Yes, . after some quick searching I see someone created a "responsive design" for it, which should fit nicely with the smaller screen. Also there's an "ESPHome" project, merging the Home Assistant with the ESP32. Thanks again!
