WT32-SC01 Plus

3.5" 320x480 ST7796 on an 8-bit i80 bus with FT6336U touch. Much faster than the SPI original.

ST7796 / ST7796S on 8-bit parallel (i80 / 8080): PAR8 clock 20 MHz, BGR colour order, inversion off.

FT6236 / FT6336U: I2C address 0x38, 400 kHz.

Check your revision. CS is tied low on the board, so leave it at -1.

Choose WT32-SC01 Plus on the Hardware tab (or use the button above) and every pin on this page is filled in. The export writes the sketch, lcd_pins.h, the LovyanGFX configuration, lv_conf.h and platformio.ini - a project that builds for this board as it comes.
The FT6236 / FT6336U is capacitive and needs no calibration. The firmware resets it and checks it answers on every boot.
The backlight is dimmable: give a slider or a button a Set backlight action.
With PSRAM the LVGL memory pool can live there, leaving internal RAM for everything else.
Screens are designed for 320 x 480 px in either orientation, with LVGL 9 or LVGL 8.

ST7796 / ST7796S. The usual 4.0" 320x480 controller. Faster than ILI9488 over SPI (true RGB565).

FT6236 / FT6336U. Register-compatible with the FT6206. Very common on 2.8"-3.5" capacitive TFTs.

ESP32-S3. The only common Arduino target with a hardware RGB565 LCD peripheral. PSRAM is effectively required for RGB panels.

LovyanGFX. Widest panel and bus coverage, DMA on ESP32. Configured with a C++ config class.
