Board details

284 x 76 Bar display, using st7789 driver. It has different Pin setup and I desperately need help. Thank you.

Do you want to play video on it ?

Do you want to play video on it ?

Yes, I've been trying to get an Animated GIF to play. But if some other video format will work with my ESP32 S3, then I will change it.

[thelastoutpostworkshop]

Good, do you have code examples that comes with the board, so I can look at the pins and also the driver used.
This is necessary for me to make a video player.

Do you mean videos to play on the tft? I only have my GIF. I have found other people getting it to sort of work. But as far as actual Arduino code, I haven been able to get anything to run properly. Here are some links to other projects, which I tried to copy and couldn't get to work.

Thanks, I will see if it can be done without the TFT_eSPI library which appears to be no longer maintained.
I was looking for code that comes with the board, I will see if I can find any,

what is your current pins assignment for the ESP32-S3 ?
and does it have PSRAM ?

[Keller73Mal]

I was attempting to use another screen for a test, so im not sure these pin assignments are accurate. ESP32 S3 N16 R8
BL and VCC tied together @ 3.3V (Pin#1)
DC - Pin#18
RES - Pin#17
SDA - Pin#9
SCL - Pin#3
GND - GND Pin#22?
I know the tft has a CS pin, but Im not using that at the moment.
Everything is on the Left side of the board as you face the Chip at the top. Im using COM usbc jack for connection.

How do you store your GIF for playing ?

[Keller73Mal]

I was trying to follow your video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omUWkUqFYrQ

But unfortunately I'm having trouble coding my GIF into C++ (.h format?) so far the closest I got to this was a frame by frame encoder. I was hoping I could just put them in order and the code would understand to play them together. If I can use a different format, please tell me.

[thelastoutpostworkshop]

I understand, GIF is the format to use when you include them along with the code.
MJPEG are too big, an SD card is required.
So I can try to create a GIF player for your display working with an ESP32-S3, but I do not have that display, so it will have to be tested on your side, I will not be able to test on my side.

[Keller73Mal]

where are you located? I can send you a couple, I have a bunch.

[thelastoutpostworkshop]

No need, we will try it first, then if needed I will order one

[thelastoutpostworkshop]

Another question, do you have an ESP32-S3 with PSRAM ?
If you are unsure, use ESPConnect to see if they have any : https://thelastoutpostworkshop.github.io/ESPConnect/
