ESP32_S3 : my GIF stay dead #2

Closed gfranju closed 1 month ago

gfranju commented 1 month ago

Hello,

Thank you for your work. Everything works with an regular ESP32. On the other hand, I'm tearing my hair out with an ESP32S3, whatever the model: I have two of them and they both refuse to display anything (ESP32-S3 2.4G Module Wifi pour Arduino ESP IDF ESP32-S3-WROOM-1 N8R2 N16R8 44Pin Type-C 8M PSRAM and WEACTSTUDIO ESP32_S3B)

I tried with a GCGC9A01 screen. I've tried several configurations of the users file but nothing works: the screen is powered but always remains black. Thank you for your help....

                // Typical board default pins - change to match your board

define TFT_CS 34 // 10 or 34 (FSPI CS0)

define TFT_MOSI 35 // 11 or 35 (FSPI D)

define TFT_SCLK 36 // 12 or 36 (FSPI CLK)

define TFT_MISO 37 // 13 or 37 (FSPI Q)

/*

  • in NodeMCU ESP-S3-12K-Kit, GPIO 6 and 7 are connected to LEDs,
  • so re-allocate to GPIO 15 and 16. */ // Use pins in range 0-31

    define TFT_DC 16 //7

    define TFT_RST 15 //6

The pinout for the WeAct Studio, there is no pin 34. Also when PSRAM is enable on an ESP32, some pins becomes unavailable. On my board, these are pins 35,36 and 37, see here : https://github.com/atomic14/esp32-s3-pinouts. I think it is the same for all ESP32-S3 boards. If you look at my video, I use these pins : image

Thank you very much for your reply. But sadly....If I choose your pin numbers, it still doesn't work. One detail puzzles me, the screen is still on...and even the reset doesn't do anything. Note that says the weactstudio ESP32-S3 I don't have pin 23...I replaced it with 11 in the user file.

thelastoutpostworkshop commented 1 month ago

Which configuration file are you using to configure the TFtT_espi library ? Attach the content of that file, so I can take a look. What is the version of the TFT_eSPI library you are using and the version of the AnimatedGIF library ? What is the board you select in the Arduino IDE ? and what is the version of the Espressif boards that you have installed ? When you press the reset button, do you see anything on the serial Monitor ?

I know it's a lot of questions, but I ma trying to narrow down the problem

gfranju commented 1 month ago

I use Animated GIF 2.1.1 TFT_ESPI by Bodmer 2.5.43 ESP32S3 Dev Module

thank's for your patience..

I reinstalled TFT ESPI to get a clean version and applied your method. It works for an ESP32. I thinks it's better your way. But it doesn't work for the ESP32 S3 ..the screen is still black. I get a reaction when I do a reset on the serial monitor. I have the impression that I don't have the right pin numbers. The ESP32 S3 doesn't have pin 23 for the MOSI...I don't know which pin to replace 23 on.

You should be able to use any free pins on an ESP32, for the SPI bus, including the S3. Make sure in your board manager to use the latest version of the Espressif Arduino Core, it is 3.0.3 : image

If it's still not working try with version 2.0.17, TFT_eSPI has some bug for version 3 with some boars, it make it reset

gfranju commented 1 month ago

I do have version 3.0.3 As I still wasn't getting any results, I removed version 3.0.3 to install version 2.0.17 but same result. I tried with other pins then came back to your configuration:

SDA 23 (no pin 23 on ESP32S3 so I chose 11) SCL 18 CS 15 DC 2 RST 4

No results. I then changed ESP32S3...another one. Same result.

The screen is on but remains black. RST button have effect on serial monitor. On the serial monitor, I have :

There's something I don't understand about what the serial monitor displays. I never see the message ""Successfully opened GIF; Canvas size...." it loops all the time with this message:

With ESP32, on serial monitor.....there is : Successfully opened GIF; Canvas size = 240 x 240

On the Serial monitor we see that the ESP32-S3 is crashing: Guru Meditation Error: Core 1 panic'ed (StoreProhibited). Exception was unhandled.

This is a known problem of the TFT_eSPI library : https://github.com/Bodmer/TFT_eSPI/issues/3332

There is two things you can do, with v3.0.3 add this line in your setup for the screen:

define USE_HSPI_PORT

And retry,

If it does not work, try version 2.0.14 of the TFT_eSPI library

It works !!!!!!! I removed ESP32 then installed version 2.0.14 and version 2.5.0 TFT eSPI. I added the line :

define USE_HSPI_PORT

For pin numbers :

define TFT_CS 10 (I don't have pin 34 on the ESP32S3 weact)

define TFT_MOSI 35

define TFT_SCLK 36

define TFT_DC 7

define TFT_RST 6

Thank you very much... I couldn't have done it without your help.

Glad it works now. If you want to try another library that works well with animated GIF and created by the same guy, see my tutorial here : https://youtu.be/omUWkUqFYrQ
