Waveshare ESP32-S3-LCD-1.47 (on board ST7789 172x320)

[pawaller]

Hi all,
Looking for any advice please on setting up one of the above with the TFT_eSPI library.
I've created a User_Setup.h from its datasheet which gives the pinouts used ...

https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/ESP32-S3-LCD-1.47?spm=a2g0o.detail.1000023.1.40eah5rHh5rHpj&file=ESP32-S3-LCD-1.47#Parameters

but it is refusing to output anything to the screen. Complete noob here so not sure if it is me.
The waveshare docs are using the lvgl library and I can compile/upload the demo and it runs fine but that seems too complicated for my needs.
Thanks in advance
Phil

Hi,
Can you send your User_Setup.h file or its contents. Also which line is uncommented in your User_Setup_Select.h file?

Hi,
I uncommented the setup72 line ( #include <User_Setups/Setup72_ESP32_ST7789_172x320.h> // Setup file for ESP32 with ST7789 1.47" 172x320 )
which seemed the closest to what I have, and modified it's contents...

Can you add this into your file and try again:
#define USE_HSPI_PORT

That did the trick!
Thank you very much :-)

Cheers
