Working with Arduino

• Please note that the ESP32 3.0.2 on Arduino is based on ESP-IDF v5.1, which is quite different from the previous ESP-IDF V4.X. After the following operations, the original demo may need to be adjusted for normal operation.
• Please note that the computer user name must be English, the user name in Chinese will lead to compilation errors.

Environment Set-up

• Install Arduino IDE.
• Enter Arduino IDE after installation.
• Go to the board manager, search for esp32, select the latest version of esp32 by Espressif Systems at the bottom, and click install (if it doesn't install correctly, you can try using a phone hotspot).

• Restart the Arduino IDE after installation, and then you can use it.

Modify Environment and Install Library Files

Modify Environment

• Enter the path "C:\Users\Waveshare\AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages\esp32\tools\esp32-arduino-libs\idf-release_v5.1-bd2b9390ef" (Waveshare is the computer username).

• Save the esp32s3 folder in the current folder.
• Please save the original esp32s3 folder used for subsequent restoration!!!! (You can compress the file directly and make a copy to another location, currently the original file is compressed to esp32s3 - Original file.zip)

• Delete the original file (Please save the original esp32s3 folder used for subsequent restoration!!!!)

• Copy the provided esp32s3 file to the current directory:

• Complete the modification of ESP32S3 configuration.

Install Libraries

• Please note if this library has already been installed previously. If it has, please save the existing library to prevent errors or failures when running other demos.
• Enter the sample demo file "ESP32_S3_Touch_LCD_2.1\LVGL_Arduino", double-click on LVGL_Arduino.ino to open it.
• Search for the lvgl library and install it (this step is for creating the library file folder in Arduino environment, if you have installed other libraries before and the following file folder exists, you can skip this step.)

• Enter "c:\Users\Waveshare\AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages\libraries" (Waveshare is the computer username).

• Delete the lvgl library downloaded before (skip this step if you do not install this library before).

• Please install the three libraries from the example file and create a new "Lib" folder in the example path.

• Download and unzip the following libraries: (lvgl library, and then store them in the newly created "Lib" folder in the specified path.
• Copy the above libraries in "c:\Users\Waveshare\AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages\libraries" (Waveshare is the computer username)

• Next, install NTPClient library:

• Install SensorLib library:

• Finish.

Sample Demo

• Reopen the example.
• Select the model ESP32S3 Dev Module and port:

• Set the board parameters:

• Compile and upload the example:
• Upon successful upload, you will observe two operational pages.
• Page 1 displays the following parameters separately.

• Page 2 is the UI page for playing mp3 audio from the root directory of the SD card.
