Support for ILI6485 and ILI9485 based displays #2279

Open bipsendk opened 1 year ago

bipsendk commented 1 year ago

Describe the problem you have/What new integration you would like

Support for displays based on ILI6485 and ILI9485 driver chips.

Please describe your use case for this integration and alternatives you've tried:

Enabling support for one or both chips would (hopefully) make it possible to utilize the ESP32-S3 module based displays available on https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004788147691.html - which could be awesome for display/control panels

Additional context

Can you search the specifications of this display (the datasheets etc.) or code to set them up. I'm happy to add them, but i have not the time to search the init strings etc.

For ILI9485 I found this info: https://github.com/Bodmer/TFT_eSPI/discussions/2336 I assume the same restrictions apply on ESP32 ? I will continue to check for data on ILI6485 - otherwise the vender of the module has some example arduino code - not sure if that can help ?

Ha, sadly as Bodmer said on his repo "That display has an RGB interface" and at this moment of time espHome does not support this kind of communications yet,

This is what I could find on ILI6485 so far:

Maybe this is also RGB interface... :-/

Is this likely to ever be supported ?

I'm working on a "universal remote" front end display project atm and as it's stands between esphome and openhasp as the brains for this and while openhasp does have the better ui options esphome looks like it will let me configure mqtt in a much more user friendly manner as far as the resulting nodered code that does the leg work does and also since i want this to be battery powered deep sleep is very much a wanted/needed feature which again only esphome presents at present.

I looked for the ili9485 datasheet document but I didn't find anything. Like a chip that never existed, I just want to know the timing diagram, can you share the datasheet?
