On via vol+ after reset

[ilioss]

Hi Ed,

Finnaly the TFT received and connected.
Meanwhile the 8266 replaced by the ESP32 changed the software for the latest version.
Indeed the 32 looks like more stable. The 8266 I actualy didn,t get it working after all in combunation with the geeetech shield.( lots of so called "glitching" ) there is a signal and data but not understandeble.
In the same time I placed the capacitors across the 5 Vcc -gnd and betweeh XRST-gnd hopefully will this prevent problems with the power supply spikes.
During my playing/testing I noticed that after a reset from the config page I had to give vol+ a push to get sound again. Is this a known bug?
Also after I received my TFT I didn,t get it working. Connect as discribed and tested again. I changed the TFT_ILI963C.cpp file on line 1096/7
No result. Than the blue 1.8 SPI 128x160 board type I realy do not understand this Most problaby this is the key to get my display working. Do you have a clue?
Further more I realy enjoy this project and like to learn a lot not only from the esp32 also from networking etc. A realy nice step further than just arduino.
Greeting
Theo

Your config should cantain something like "volume=76" and NOT "mute."
Try to get your display working without the vs1053 connected.

Hi,Ed thanks for your dwift anser.I will test the display without the 1053.Let you know.Regards,TheoOp 18 jun. 2017 6:37 p.m. schreef Ed Smallenburg <notifications@github.com>:Your config should cantain something like "volume=76" and NOT "mute."

Hi, All must be,

I tested the TFT display with the benchmark file as found in the ILI9163c zip and it works on a NANO.
A small stroke was not used!
Than I connect the display again to my radio and disconnect fully the VS1053( Alientek) no picture at all a clear white screen. Double checked the connections.
Compaired to the both files the benchmark.ino and the ESP32Radio.ino there is some slide difference in defining the CS and DC
#define TFT_CS 15
#define TFT_DC 2 ESPRadio.ino ( yours so to say )

#define __CS 10
#define __DC 6 benchmark.ino

I.am not meaning the i/o number.

Can this make the difference?
What exactely you mean with the "bleu 1.8 SPI 128x160 board" in your documentation?
I can only found a red or black board

I,am cont. to have my display working.
Your advise is highly appreciated.

Kind regards,
Theo

I used this one: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Smart-Electronics-1-8-Inch-128-160-Serial-SPI-TFT-LCD-Module-Display-PCB-Adapter-Power/32597366825.html?spm=2114.13010608.0.0.cqL62P.

Make sure your power supply is strong enough. The ESP32 is very sensitive on this.
The GPIO pins are correct in the ESP32-Radio sketch. If you have a Voltmeter, both TFT_CS and TFT_DC should be HIGH normally.

Hi, all

Succes. I must admit it is fully my fault. As "penny wise pond foolish". I used a experiment pcb from a former project and some copper traces where still open D15 among them. This solved and tested my set-up and display gives nice data in full collor.
Now I have to find out if the power supply is 100% relaiable in combination with sufficient voltage and current, I,am using a 6 volt 400mA power supply 3.3 volts by a LD33VC 1amp, also related to the used capaciters.
I also have to check the volume setting as default mute is not the meaning.
Ed, many thanks for your support.
As far as I can check I have the same display as mentioned.
Kind regards,
Theo

So far So good I,am realy trilled by this project.
