Usage Instructions

ESP32-S3-Touch-LCD-4B currently provides two development tools and frameworks, Arduino IDE and ESP-IDF, providing flexible development options, you can choose the right development tool according to your project needs and personal habits.

Development Tool


Arduino IDE

Arduino IDE is an open source electronic prototyping platform, convenient and flexible, easy to get started. After a simple learning, you can start to develop quickly. At the same time, Arduino has a large global user community, providing an abundance of open source code, project examples and tutorials, as well as rich library resources, encapsulating complex functions, allowing developers to quickly implement various functions.


ESP-IDF

ESP-IDF, or full name Espressif IDE, is a professional development framework introduced by Espressif Technology for the ESP series chips. It is developed using the C language, including a compiler, debugger, and flashing tool, etc., and can be developed via the command lines or through an integrated development environment (such as Visual Studio Code with the Espressif IDF plugin). The plugin offers features such as code navigation, project management, and debugging, etc.


Each of these two development approaches has its own advantages, and developers can choose according to their needs and skill levels. Arduino are suitable for beginners and non-professionals because they are easy to learn and quick to get started. ESP-IDF is a better choice for developers with a professional background or high performance requirements, as it provides more advanced development tools and greater control capabilities for the development of complex projects.


Components Preparation

  • ESP32-S3-Touch-LCD-4B x1
  • USB cable (Type-A male to Type-C male) x1
If it is used with a lithium battery, the necessary protective measures must be taken. The plastic casing of the product is used only for basic isolation of the circuit board and battery, and is generally safe under normal usage conditions. However, in the actual use and storage process, users still need to pay attention to moisture, high temperature, drop and bump, and avoid overcharging or overdischarging. It is recommended to remove the battery for storage when not in use for a long time, and make sure that the lithium battery does not stay in a low state of power for a long time. If you choose to select the battery yourself, be sure to choose a lithium battery product that is safe and compliant, has protective functions, and can withstand high temperatures. Do not use a cheap and low-quality product.

Precautions for the use of lithium batteries

  • Lithium polymer and lithium-ion batteries are very unstable. They may cause fire, personal injury, or property damage, if they're not properly recharged or used.
  • When charging and discharging the battery pack, never connect the electrodes incorrectly. Do not use inferior charger/charging panel to recharge the battery.
  • Do not mix and use old batteries with new ones, and avoid using batteries from other brands.
  • If you need to purchase additional lithium-ion battery products, ensure that the battery parameters are compatible with the lithium-ion battery expansion board. It is recommended to choose batteries from legitimate manufacturers and perform your own aging tests to ensure that the lithium-ion battery can operate stably and safely.
  • Lithium batteries have a cycle life, please replace the old batteries with new ones when it reaches the end of its useful life or uses it for two years, whichever comes first.
  • Please handle battery products properly, keep them away from flammable and explosive items, and keep them out of reach of children to avoid accidents due to improper storage.
Before operating, it is recommended to browse the table of contents to quickly understand the document structure. For smooth operation, please read the FAQ carefully to understand possible problems in advance. All resources in the document are provided with hyperlinks for easy download.

Working with Arduino

This chapter introduces setting up the Arduino environment, including the Arduino IDE, management of ESP32 boards, installation of related libraries, program compilation and downloading, as well as testing demos. It aims to help users master the development board and facilitate secondary development. 


Environment Setup

Download and Install Arduino IDE

  • Click to visit the Arduino official website, select the corresponding system and system bit to download

  • Run the installer and install all by default
The environment setup is carried out on the Windows 10 system, Linux and Mac users can access Arduino-esp32 environment setup for reference

Install ESP32 Development Board

  • Before using ESP32-related motherboards with the Arduino IDE, you must first install the software package for the esp32 by Espressif Systems development board
  • According to board installation requirement, it is generally recommended to use Install Online. If online installation fails, use Install Offline.
  • For the installation tutorial, please refer to Arduino board manager tutorial
  • ESP32-S3-Touch-LCD-4B required development board installation description
Board nameBoard installation requirementVersion number requirement
esp32 by Espressif Systems"Install Offline" / "Install Online"≥3.2.0

Install Library

  • When installing Arduino libraries, there are usually two ways to choose from: Install online and Install offline. If the library installation requires offline installation, you must use the provided library file
    For most libraries, users can easily search and install them through the online library manager of the Arduino software. However, some open-source libraries or custom libraries are not synchronized to the Arduino Library Manager, so they cannot be acquired through online searches. In this case, users can only manually install these libraries offline.

Code analysis


  • Create data bus and graphic display objects
    • Here a data bus object for communicating with the display is created, which is initialized with a specific pin configuration. Then a graphical display object gfx is created, passing in parameters such as data bus, reset pin, rotation angle, whether it is an IPS screen, and the width and height of the display
Arduino_DataBus *bus = new Arduino_ESP32QSPI(
  LCD_CS /* CS */, LCD_SCLK /* SCK */, LCD_SDIO0 /* SDIO0 */, LCD_SDIO1 /* SDIO1 */,
  LCD_SDIO2 /* SDIO2 */, LCD_SDIO3 /* SDIO3 */);

Arduino_GFX *gfx = new Arduino_ST7701(bus, -1 /* RST */,
                                      0 /* rotation */, false /* IPS */, LCD_WIDTH, LCD_HEIGHT);
  • Draw row and column numbers and character table
    • First set the text color to green and print the line numbers one by one on the display. Then set the text color to blue and print the column number. Next, use a loop to draw each character individually to form the character table, with each character using white foreground and black background
gfx->setTextColor(GREEN);
for (int x = 0; x < numRows; x++) {
  gfx->setCursor(10 + x * 8, 2);
  gfx->print(x, 16);
}
gfx->setTextColor(BLUE);
for (int y = 0; y < numCols; y++) {
  gfx->setCursor(2, 12 + y * 10);
  gfx->print(y, 16);
}

char c = 0;
for (int y = 0; y < numRows; y++) {
  for (int x = 0; x < numCols; x++) {
    gfx->drawChar(10 + x * 8, 12 + y * 10, c++, WHITE, BLACK);

ESP-IDF Project Details

  • Component: The components in ESP-IDF are the basic modules for building applications, each component is usually a relatively independent code base or library, which can implement specific functions or services, and can be reused by applications or other components, similar to the definition of libraries in Python development.
    • Component reference: The import of libraries in the Python development environment only requires to "import library name or path", while ESP-IDF is based on the C language, and the importing of libraries is configured and defined through CMakeLists.txt.
    • The purpose of CmakeLists.txt: When compiling ESP-IDF, the build tool CMake first reads the content of the top-level CMakeLists.txt in the project directory to read the build rules and identify the content to be compiled. When the required components and demos are imported into the CMakeLists.txt, the compilation tool CMake will import each content that needs to be compiled according to the index. The compilation process is as follows:
