Add support for Lilygo T5-4.7 inch ESP32-S3 (aka "plus"/V2.3) e-paper module #1960
Comments

So far I managed to get With the above, basic ESP32 functionality like OTA updates work normally. Hopefully someone will have time to adapt the screen library. Update: there are three implementations for the original board discussed in #1109:
There's some work happening over at vroland/epdiy#203 for supporting ESP32-S3 in general and the new T5-4.7 in particular, but it's currently a bit too experimental for my taste, so I'm toying with approach similar to the one taken by tiaanv... |
OK, the screen appears to work for me: https://github.com/nickolay/esphome-lilygo-t547plus |

You can add platformio board configuration from LilyGo-EPD47 GitHub repository to esphome. I added lilygo-t5-74-plus.json file to esphome:
name: liligo-t5-47-epaper-plus
platformio_options:
board_dir: boards

I'm not sure how you can provide the necessary platformio_options via esphome web, so I'm flashing using the CLI ( I'm always flashing over USB to be able to see the logs from the first startup, which are very useful to troubleshoot the occasional problems, like the device booting into safe mode (i.e. ignoring most of the config). I've also added the device to Home assistant manually.
Cool tip, thanks! |
with this solution it works much better and without problems.. thank you |

Has anyone figured out how to read the battery voltage? According to https://github.com/Xinyuan-LilyGO/LilyGo-EPD47/blob/master/schematic/T5-4.7-Plus.pdf the pin should be GPIO14, but there I'm getting |
|
@kaeltis see Xinyuan-LilyGO/LilyGo-EPD47#87 for a C example, which seems to work okay. Didn’t try to use it from esphome yet. |
|
Thanks, I've forked an existing module that solved this for the old board revision and it seems to work. |
a try your code but have a error code a try change jason file but same problem thanks for help Processing obrazovka (board: lilygo-t5-47-plus; framework: arduino; platform: platformio/espressif32 @ 5.3.0)Error: Could not load broken JSON: /config/esphome/.esphome/build/obrazovka/boards/lilygo-t5-47-plus.json |
|
@startQ341 error indicate that lilygo-t5-47-plus.json file is somehow corrupted. Try to download it from source repository again or check in some online json validator what is problem with that file. |

Thanks guys for this - it's working perfectly for me now, both screen and battery estimate. Only minor hassle is the lack of partial refresh support but hopefully that will become available eventually. Oh, and it would be nice to be able to disable that blinding blue light with something civilised like rather than having to contemplate crushing it with pliers! (FWIW it can be done via epd_poweroff_all() apparently) |

Please help me compile for Lilygo 4.7 pro. |

Has anyone managed to get the Touchscreen component working with this board? I've been using this touch panel on the older v3 boards and I'd like to continue using it on the newer S3 based boards. Unfortunately the interrupt_pin has changed from GPIO13 on the older v3 to GPIO9 on the newer S3 board, and it looks like the Touchscreen Component is fixed at GPIO13, although it requires you to specify the pin in yaml. I've logged an bug report here, just wondering if anyone has found a way to use touch? |
Same problem for me... |

Hi, for my i ok this .... |
|
Hello Guys, I wanted to say thanks to everybody who provided help in this thread. However, no matter how hard I tried, I could not manage to establish the connection with the RTC. |
Hey @VladimirV01 Here's what I have then I hope that helps? |
Hello @special-k-uk ! Thank you very much for taking the time to check this issue and write an answer. I have followed your advice and checked your configuration. Now I see that it syncs the RTC on time sync with homeassistant, therefore I can be sure it works. |
|
I managed to piece together a working config for my new board that includes a bunch of the changes, including the display code from @nickolay and battery stuff from @kaeltis (you two should consider merging your work for nickolay/esphome-lilygo-t547plus#3). I also activated the internal temp sensor, and set things to read/write with the internal clock. So far, everything is working great for me with an old LiPo battery I had sitting around (battery sensor is reading 4.5V, which lines up with what it did with the LilyGo firmware). Anyway, here it is for posterity (along with some notes since I just copy/pasted my yaml file here) # See: https://github.com/esphome/feature-requests/issues/1960

Hello, |
|
Has anyone had such a problem `INFO ESPHome 2023.11.6 esp32: None Please specify flash_size within esp32 configuration only. |
Try commenting out "board_upload.flash_size" from within the platformio_options section. It will use the default, which should be fine. :-) |
|
There is some progress... It doesn't start, the USB logs show this: And the browser is not responding |
Have you tried ESPHome version: 2023.12.5? Steps i took:
I'm currently creating a repo with working clock example and steps to take to get the S3 Plus running. |
|
yeah! Your way works! now my entities are available on eink! |
|
@PabloFFF93 did you use the guide? or upgrading and the boot steps? |
|
I used the guide. I didn't really need to special boot ESP by key.. Everything became clear after using the new board and uploading your yaml ESPHOME: and ESP32: conf. I think this was the problem. I have a similar problem in esp32 by wroover. I have to click boot to initialize the boot |
nice, good news its working! |
I finally looked into how this works, because I couldn't understand why I can't use an absolute path for the Details for the curious:

Thank you everyone for your help getting this set up... one thing that I can't seem to figure out is how to set up external buttons. I was able to get one set up on GPIO 15 using the pins in the molex connector, but can't seem to get another working on any of the other pins. The FAQ says that 12, 13, 14 and 15 should be available if not using the touch screen, but I can't seem to figure out how to physically connect the button to the board. I thought I could use the 40 pin connector, but I tested each pin and none seem to produce a response when I use:
I'm sure I'm missing something simple, but if anyone has an idea I would appreciate it. |

Trying to get homeassistant dashboard working on T5 ESP32-3. Keep getting esptime error. Anyone know how to fix this ? |

Did anyone get the touchscreen to work? and |

@xxLeoxx93 i foud a working solution for the touchscreen |

Hi, What to do now? |
@dxdr You're doing better than me. Can you share an image of how you hooked things up to the molex connector? I was trying for capacitive touch that the S3 is supposed to support (I got as far as filing a bug: Xinyuan-LilyGO/LilyGo-EPD47#113) but at this point I'd love even a single external button. |
There's #1109 open for the original T5-4.7 module. This year the vendor introduced a new version of the module, which they call "T5 4.7 Inch E-paper V2.3" or "T5-4.7 Plus".
The vendor advertises the new ESP32-S3 chip and TF-card reader as the major new features, but there are multiple other differences as well. The pinout is incompatible, so any attempts to blindly run examples from #1109 on the new board without first figuring out the differences will fail.
I'll copy the description from the original feature request verbatim, as only the internals of the board are different; the use-case is the same:
The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
