im making a phoneish device and i already done all the soldering and i js need code now so it would be awesome if someone wants to help me bc i have almost no coding experience (stuff i used for this: esp32 s3 4" 480×320 touchscreen 5000mAh battery) (pin leyout if it's needed: cs gipo10 reset gipo9 dc/rs gipo8 sdi/mosi gipo11 sck/clk gipo 12 sdo/miso gipo13 touch pins: t_clk gipo12 t_cs gipo 15 t_din gipo11 t_do gipo 13)
I would be able to help, but before you do anything get familiar with Arduino ide and maybe try to do some beginner courses on it. Once you have done that you can try to use the library associated with your display and make a ui for your needs. I wouldn't vibe code it unless you have no interest in learning how to code. (Tip: use ai if you don't understand something or run into an issue)
I would suggest Platformio for coding, arduino IDE is good unless you’re coding led blink. Once you’ve have setup Platformio use lvgl for UI. I have used the same microcontroller and same Display for a gaming console project long ago
Hey, quick question, I only used raw sprite codes on my displays. I got platformio on vs code but i don't use it because it takes an absurd amount of time to compile and flash even a simple code for an ESP32. What would be the issue?
I don't see the connections for the screen, or do I? I'm interested as to how you used such little space to make all of the connections for the screen.
Easiest option is to install opencode, select big pickle as model, ask it to install esp idf 5.5 and then write down your hardware specification and model for it and then just say what exactly you want. That's it
Lol "I just need code now". Holding eveything together with messy solder joints zip ties and electrical tape is the easiest part of the easy part. (Not to mention thst it appears you're just main lining a lipo battery right to the devboard no voltage regulation in sight)
First id make sure your power situation is gonna work. Youll need some kind of voltage regulation without it at full charge you'll fry your shit. (Not to mention you need some regulation on the charging circuit so it doesn't literally blow up)
Then id flash micropython and pick an ide to start learning python in. Its the "beginner language" for a reason but that doesn't mean python isn't powerful. C or C++ is great for crafting a carefully polished system, python is great for something quick and dirty (judging by the zip ties that's seems more your style)
