ESP32 TFT LCD with Camera(3.5'')
Contents
Introduction
The 3.5” 320x480 TFT LCD driver is ILI9488, it uses SPI for communication with ESP32, the SPI main clock could be up to 60M~80M, make the display smooth enough for videos; and the camera OV2640 with pixel 2M, with this camera, you can make applications such as remote photography, face recognition…. While the camera not used, you can freely use all these pins with the breakout connectors, to connect the ESP32 display with sensors/ actuators, suitable for IoT applications.

Software setup
1.Install the ESP32 boards supporting
- Note After Arduino IDE installed, there is no package to support ESP32, we need to install the ESP32 package in Arduino IDE to continue.
- Select “File>Preferences>settings>Additional Boards Manager URLs” to fill the link: [1]
- Click “Tools>Board>Boards Manager” to search for and install the ESP32 library:
2.Select and setting the parameter in the Tools menu, as the picture
3.Install Adafruit GFX library
Click “Tools> Manager Libraries” to search for and install Adafruit GFX library.
Draw on LCD
1. You can get the code from here: Core
2. Open the file “\Project_Touch-Screen-Camera-master\touch_draw_v2\touch_draw_v2.ino”. Select the screen type used and comment out the ones that are not used.
//Choice your touch IC #define ESP32_SDA 26 #define ESP32_SCL 27 //#define NS2009_TOUCH //Resistive screen driver #define FT6236_TOUCH //Capacitive screen driver
3. Verify it and upload.
If failed to upload the code as the picture, please upload again and try to press the Flash switch when the code is uploading.
4. Reset the ESP32 and you will get the drawing board.
Display the picture
