CockpitOS and Waveshare esp32-s3 round displays #32
|
Hello all. I am trying to figure out how to use CockpitOS with waveshare round TFT displays. Basically they have a esp32-s3 included, with no need of wiring between ESP and display. |

I can help you with that. What gauge did you have in mind? Radar Altimeter? Cabin Pressure? |
|
Oh you're the best! For now radar altimeter, and after also cabin pressure, hydraulic pressure, brake pressure. But let's start with the radar alitmeter, I will not waste you time with the rest :-) |

Its actually very easy to implement with CockipOS, assuming you have the right hardware. Which version do you have? send me the exact link to check the pins |
|
Thank you very much! I uploaded, launched the hid manager, get dcs running and mission open, but still black... |
Yes, USB. It appears the LovyanGFX library might have an issue with QSPI. You said you tested another library and it worked? |
|
Yes, I found a github project with same displays and for F18 gauges: |
|
It was the library I'm using. It does not support QSPI so had to do some coding.. but all is perfect now https://github.com/BojoteX/CockpitOS/tree/dev/Binaries/Waveshare/ESP32-S3-LCD-1.85 New code for CockpitOS (in case you want to compile yourself) is on dev branch, not yet on main, so make sure you re-download |
|
Thank you very much! I will try it tomorrow as in Italy it's already late... |
|
OK, I uploaded it through the web uploader, now display starts but shows just black and white stripes. |
|
I was able to install it myself, also a user from another forum did without
issues. Can you send me a pic of what you see?
|
|
sure! |
|
If I remember correctly, you said something about a library you found that will make it work... This: https://github.com/ashchan/hornet-esp32-gauges I want to install the same exact sketch you installed on YOUR device that made it work. it occurs to me that we might have similar hardware (same) but one is a cheap clone, it could use different pins or it can be exact same device but the TFT display is from different batch and yours is more sensitive to freq. Only way to tell is installing the sketch in my Waveshare |
|
yes right. I use this project for my gauges. The hardware comes directly from waveshare shop... Thank you very much for your time! |
