Finally, ESP32 board with an AMOLED display .LilyGO T-display S3 AMOLED

I have a new favourite development board, this board is made by LilyGO, this is T-display S3 AMOLED. Yes , for the first time we have AMOLED screen on the development board. And it looks amazing. Colors are beautiful, black is really black and everything looks sharp ,modern and simply beautiful.

I am using the Arduino IDE and tft_espi library to program it. Feel free to use my examples. I hope you will learn a few tricks. Many thanks to Nick, he edited driver files and made this possible.

You can buy T-Display S3 AMOLED here:

Thanks for keeping us on the leading edge of the ESP32-S3.

Mine has arrived and I love it! Thanks so much for sharing this information and your incredibly useful example code.
I noticed that the image header format is slightly different in the image scroll demo but I got an image to scroll nicely eventually.
The Test example would not run at first but after a quick bit of research I updated my TFT_eSPI library to version 2.50 in Arduino and it's working great now.

Your ESP32 videos are most delightful. Now I want more boards too! This is the way.

That is a sweet display board. I can't wait to give it a shot. Thanks for sharing it

Nice display. I really like your updates on maker-friendly displays.

Nicely explained and best way of presenstation

Very thorough video... Love the fact I can find board setting for Arduino IDE as I have a lot of different boards (this can save a lot of time), only wish all projects included "board setting" at comments in code...

I don't think my first android phone had a resolution bigger than this.

You always make sense to many of us. I've used many of your examples and found them to be spot on. I still have troubles but I am learning.

I am struggling to make a computer interface from a fancy fuel injected CAN-BUS drivetrain so I can install it in a 2002 Tahoe vehicle. To make it easier I use a MEGA2560 for A/D sensor inputs, switches and PWM motor controllers and MOSFET outputs. I keep this separate as I am not an experienced programmer. Then I am using I2C to the LILYGO T-Display-S3 for display. This avoids an excessive interrupts and library conflicts; I hope.  
I see your link is out of stock so will check back later.  

Soon I will add an RP2040 with dual CAN-BUS and hope I can translate between the computers messages.



Things are progressing well - Thank You for the help

Okay, you sold me on it. Just ordered mine and can't wait to try some of your projects with it.

Great video, thanks Volos.
Your English is good and I understood your explanation of Hello World. Keep up the good work!

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO

[FrankGraffagnino]

looking forward to learning more about this board. I'm also interested to know which one of these boards might be bright enough to use in sunlight. For example, i have some projects for use inside a car and some displays are just not bright enough to see during the daytime.

[TheLapanElektro]

this is the starter...my project..thanks alot broo

[ExpressiveImagery]

I clicked on this video so fast! The display looks real nice and will give people more flexibility in their designs with all that extra screen resolution. Your demos are also improving greatly too. LilyGo do a great job on their hardware, but in my opinion as a seasoned developer their software is lacking clarity and variety, which is so bad when potentially thousands of people will be interested in developing on these boards.

[pizzcatopie]

Hello! Your videos have helped me a lot! Thank you so much! I would like to ask if you can teach us how to use images or animations with this device, that would be interesting!

[MHTSAPAS]

Thank you for showing the new screen sir! You’re making me spend a lot of money. I now have the TTGO T-Display, T-Display S3, both T-QT’s and the T-HMI.
Looks like I’ll be buying this also.

For LVGL you need the LVGL folder in your Arduino libraries and you need the LV.config to be outside the LVGL folder.
If you are using square it is just easier to change the preferences from Arduino\libraries to the specified folder but in that case all you need to do is copy the LVGL folder over to the libraries folder and take the LV.config file and place it outside the LVGL folder.

Let me know and I’ll make a private video of how it works. It was a bit of a nightmare for me u til I got it right.

All that aside, I have learned so much from your videos and code that I can never thank you enough. Maybe I can help you with the LVGL thing as I am sure with your experience, you can create amazing UI’s using Squareline.

Take care for now and keep it up! You are helping us more than we can ever show you.

[wolwinka]

Thanks, bro. It was very helpful for me.

[Bianchi]

Nice video, well done, thanks for sharing it with us :)

Would expect a frame buffer .draw() refresh to be done via timer interrupt on the 2nd CPU. Hard to imagine adopting a whole new graphic drawing paradigm being necessary for this thing.
It does look really sweet though.
