Landscape mode

[teargas666]

Hi. I have a problem with my station. I've already flash it and connect it with wires but my screen is rotated to landscape mode as it is on the image...

What wiring diagram did you follow?

[teargas666]

I've used the wiring diagram from that video

https://youtu.be/eTIrP0__aGU

It's shown on 5:03

Ok, I've changed the wiring for the mentioned on the tutorial, but there is not change at all... I've also flashed the ESP once again and nothing new... screen is still rotated...

Suggest you re-install Mini Grafx by ThingPulse Library

[teargas666]

I've reinstall it in Arduino on Windows and MacOS... no change...

[marcelstoer]

Assuming the wiring is the same as what we document at https://docs.thingpulse.com/specs/wifi-color-display-kit/#wiring then it must be something else. However, from what we see in your image the 90° appears to be the least of your problems no? If you can't get a clear image then it doesn't matter what the rotation is. Maybe that display module is toast.

In any case, it's not a software issue -> closing

[teargas666]

Its just a photo from the phone, and it was not focused properly. I have a clear image, but just rotated...

I've tried to change some code in the .ino file, and i can flip the screen horizontally and vertically... I still think its the software problem. Mayby I have to downgrade the Mini Grafx library...

I had the previous version 1.2.5 of the Mini Grafx library installed I updated to 1.2.6 and still could not reproduce you're issue I programed with the "Erase all flash content" for a clean install.

It probably is a bad display you could try adding gfx.setRotation(0); after gfx.init(); in the setup() function.

gfx.init(); gfx.setRotation(0); _gfx.fillBuffer(MINIBLACK);

I rotated my screen with setRotation(3) and this is what Landscape mode would look like. Notice the lack of the noise on the right. Another indication that the screen is damaged is that you only see the "Now release screen" message while the screen is being pressed removing you're finger the screen quickly changes to the "Please calibrate" message.

[teargas666]

I cannot move to the calibration. I think I have to use the another screen. I use the setRotation(3) to receive the proper orientation

[marcelstoer]

I think I have to use the another screen

Apart from the starter kit this project was designed for we are also selling its display module separately.

I recommend the kit it eliminates the wires and mine came with a genuine Wemos D1 Mini. IWhere did you're screen come from?

[teargas666]

i've ordered another one screen and there is no change at all... it's not a hardware problem - it's problem with the code... where I can put my code to check?

[vicwhexagon]

So we are on the same page which "screen" Did you get? If you made some changes to the esp8266-weather-station-color code you could create a fork of the code then and post your changes there.

Have you tried the Arduino example touch screen sketches to prove the screen and touch panel is working?

[TiVoHomeUser]

• What changes have you made to the code?

• Where did you get the screen?

• I suggest you download a fresh copy of this code

  • Change only the 2 WiFi credentials for WIFI_SSID and WIFI_PASS in settings.h so it can to connect to you're network
  • Compile and Upload the code using "Erase all flash content" to you're device.
  • The display and touch screen should now function correctly without any weather data.
  • If that works change the OpenWeatherMap settings for you're account to get the weather data for your chosen location.

[teargas666]

There was just added the gfx.setRotation(0-3) - I've tried all of these possibilities.

When I made first try I was able to boot to the weather screen but without the touchscreen (Arduino IDE gave me a lot of errors) but the screen was rotated. After couple hours of flashing two or three ESP8266 I was not able to back to that screen.

I've ordered one on the Shopee and second one on the Polish marketplace Allegro.

There are a few on the site was it the 320 X 240 or 480 X 320 or some other? This program uses the 320 X 240 display Do you have a link to yours?

Just an observation, this display as pictured does not have the touch controller fitted, It is not the correct display.

Yeah, there is not soldered touch controller but it's not a main issue...
