Project Introduction
The LilyGO T-Display S3 is a development board based on the ESP32-S3, equipped with a 1.9-inch TFT display. This project provides detailed setup guides and multiple example codes to help developers quickly get started and use this development board for development.
T-Display S3 Project Example
Environment Preparation
Install Arduino IDE
Ensure you have the latest version of Arduino IDE installed.
Install ESP32 Board Support
- In Arduino IDE, go to File -> Preferences, and add the following URL to Additional Boards Manager URLs:
    
     https://dl.espressif.com/dl/package_esp32_index.json   
    
    - Open Tools -> Boards -> Boards Manager, search for “esp32” and install the support.
Download Project Code:
Download via GitHub Webpage (for Beginners)
- Visit the project page: https://github.com/teastainGit/LilyGO-T-display-S3-setup-and-examples.
- Click the Code button (on the right), then select Download ZIP to get a compressed file.
- Unzip the downloaded file to a local folder after completion.
Download via Git Command Line (for Developers)
Steps:
- Install Git:- Windows: Download Git for Windows and install it.
- macOS/Linux: Git is usually pre-installed. If not, use a package manager (e.g., sudo apt install giton Linux).
 
- Open a Command Prompt/Terminal:- Windows: Launch Git Bash (included with Git installation).
- macOS/Linux: Open the Terminal app.
 
- Run the Clone Command:
    
     git clone https://github.com/teastainGit/LilyGO-T-display-S3-setup-and-examples.git   
    
    This will download the code to your current command-line directory.
Configure the Development Board
- In Arduino IDE, select Tools -> Board -> ESP32 Arduino -> ESP32S3 Dev Module.
- Select the correct port (usually /dev/cu.usbserial-*orCOM3, etc.).
Upload Example Code
- Open the LilyGO T-Display-S3 Setup.txt file in the project and follow the instructions.
- Take the example code ESPNOW_for_T_Display as an example:
    
     // Example Code: ESPNOW_for_T_Display  
#include <esp_now.h>  
#include <WiFi.h>  
void setup() {  
  Serial.begin(115200);  
  WiFi.mode(WIFI_STA);  
  if (esp_now_init() != ESP_OK) {  
    Serial.println("Error initializing ESP-NOW");  
    return;  
  }  
}  
void loop() {  
  // Main loop code  
}   
    
    Through this tutorial, you can quickly get started with the LilyGO T-Display S3 development board and leverage its abundant example codes for development. We hope you find fun and inspiration in this project!
