For cicciocb:

I found a link that addresses switching SPI pins for ESP32 boards with multiple SPI connections.

https://forum.arduino.cc/t/esp32-switch ... 1023800/14

This may help you configure Annex32 for the CYD modules.

Thanks for the hint but very probably I'll choose another solution to experiment when the module will arrive (hoping that will be the right one).

I've just posted a little video showing the nice 7" esp32-s3 modules with Annex32 on board.



A very powerful module

Yeah, looks very responsive, and 7" touch is very useful ... do you have a link for the one you got ?

I nearly terminated the integration ... I didn't yet tested the audio output but it should be ok as there is an I2S audio chip on board. All works, including the SDCARD (where all the images come from in the video).

The capacitive touch is very responsive, very similar with the one I integrated some years ago for the epaper module. It is on another category compared with the resistive one as it can also detect multiple touch positions.

The module is a little bit expensive but cheaper than the latest M5 modules, considering the quality and the size of the display.

I truly enjoyed getting the RGB LCD display to work, as I opted to write my own driver, just as I did with the VGA, essentially reusing the same code since the VGA output leverages the ESP32's LCD interface. I must say it works very well; accessing the screen is fast, and the ESP32-S3 has ample available RAM, allowing for loading numerous files and images into memory without any issues.

At a guess, it's this one.

Not the cheapest of displays but for a 7" display + ESP-S3 with that amount of memory, not too bad.

This one looks interesting too.

It's only 5" but has the same 800*480 resolution AND its IPS which is so much deeper/sharper/crisper/higher contrast than a TN screen.

Yes, the one is bought is the same but from another source
https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/10050049 ... pt=glo2fra

Yes, is the one with capacitive touch, less than 40€ including delivery and taxes, for a 7".
The screen is not so bad, probably the IPS is better but what is really "magnifique" is the touch screen, very precise and not the big "schifezza" that you can find on the classic 320x240 or 320x480 SPI displays. :D
If the 5" shares the same wiring and setup parameters for the display (to be confirmed) it could be supported too.

Excellent news. They look really good. And audio!
I await your announcement with great anticipation.

It's on my wish list, where gravity makes the more expensive non-essentials to keep sinking out of reach ... but I've got loads of cheap rubbish !
