(*1)
I2S parallel does not work.
I don't know why.
GPIO parallel or REGISTER I/O parallel works.
__LED pins connect to GND instead of 3.3V.__
(*2)
Very Slow.
Most drivers require three commands to display one Pixel.
This driver require 9 commands to display one Pixel.
For some reason, the color of 0xFFFF does not appear.
(*3)
It has a GRAM offset.
See below.
(*4)
Need RGB inverstion.
(*5)
4-line resistance touch screen available.
See below.
These are all 2.4 inch, 320x240 TFTs.
3.95 inches is almost twice as large as 2.4 inches.
These are OPEN-SMART 16Pin-Parallel Products.
These are OPEN-SMART TFT-Shield Products.
# Software requirements
ESP-IDF V5.0 or later.
ESP-IDF V4.4 release branch reached EOL in July 2024.
__Note for ESP-IDF V5.x__
ESP-IDF V5.x gives this warning, but work.
```
#warning "legacy adc driver is deprecated, please migrate to use esp_adc/adc_oneshot.h and esp_adc/adc_continuous.h for oneshot mode and continuous mode drivers respectively"
```
# Installation
```
git clone https://github.com/nopnop2002/esp-idf-parallel-tft
cd esp-idf-parallel-tft/
idf.py set-target {esp32/esp32s2/esp32s3}
idf.py menuconfig
idf.py flash
```
__Note for ESP32-S2__
The tjpgd library is not present in ESP32-S2 ROM.
With ESP-IDF Ver5, the JPEG decode library is now provided from the IDF Component Registry, and the JPEG decode library is now available for ESP32-S2.
However, since the SRAM is small, a large image cannot be displayed.
With ESP-IDF Ver4.4, you cannot be displayed JPEG files because the IDF Component Registry cannot be used.
Due to the small SRAM capacity, there is a possibility that an error may occur when displaying PNG files.
You can avoid this error by enabling PSRAM.
# Configuration
You have to set this config value with menuconfig.
- CONFIG_DRIVER
The information provided by sellers on Ebay or AliExpress is largely incorrect.
You waste time if you don't choose the right driver.
There are many [variations](http://domoticx.com/arduino-shield-2-4-tft-lcd-touch/) of the 2.4 inch shield.
You can use [this](https://github.com/prenticedavid/MCUFRIEND_kbv/tree/master/examples/LCD_ID_readreg) to find out your driver.
This is for Arduino UNO.
Do not use this on the ESP32 as the GPIO on the ESP32 is not 5V tolerant.
__Never believe the seller's information.__
I'll say it again.
__Never believe the seller's information.__
- CONFIG_INTERFACE
Most drivers work using I2S parallel.
However, some drivers only work using GPIO parallels or REGISTER I/O parallels.
I2S parallel is the fastest when drawing to consecutive addresses.
However, REGISTER I/O parallel is the fastest when drawing to non-contiguous addresses.
When using REGISTER I/O parallel, GPIO from D0 to D7 is 1 to 31.(GPIO0 is boot mode pin)
I2S parallel is suitable for image-intensive applications.
REGISTER I/O parallel is suitable for character-intensive applications.
GPIO parallel is most slow.
- CONFIG_WIDTH
- CONFIG_HEIGHT
Specifies the resolution of the TFT.
- CONFIG_OFFSETX
- CONFIG_OFFSETY
You can specify the GRAM offset.
You must specify Y offset = 32 for OPEN-SMART-ILI9327.
- CONFIG_INVERSION
For some TFTs, the BGR may be inverted.
Specify if the colors are inverted.

(*1)
You can change any GPIO using menuconfig.
(*2)
When using REGISTER I/O parallel, GPIO from D0 to D7 is 1 to 31.(GPIO0 is boot mode pin)
(*3)
With a regulator (mostly AMS1117) is on the back, the supply voltage is 5V.
With a regulator is NOT on the back, the supply voltage is 3.3V.
__Note__
My R61509V has a regulator on the back.
Normally, a TFT with a regulator works at 5V, but my R61509V doesn't work unless I supply both 5V and 3.3V.
__Note__
ESP32 development board cannot supply too much current.
It is more stable when supplied from an external power source.
# Graphic support
# Fonts support
It's possible to text rotation and invert.
You can specify multiple fonts at the same time.
# Image support
BMP file
JPEG file
PNG file
# Using Wemos D1 ESP32
I bought this for $4.
To attach the TFT-Shield, you need to do changed some pin assignments like this.
Because GPIO34/35/36/39 are READ ONLY.
With this change, GPIO will look like this:
It's great because it doesn't require any wiring.
__If you use OPEN-SMART TFT-Shield Products, you must use custom GPIO.__
# Using TZT D1 ESP32-S3
I bought this for $5.
You can attach the TFT-Shield without changing anything.
But I2S parallel doesn't work. I don't know why.
If you use TZT D1 ESP32-S3, you must use custom GPIO.
# JPEG Decoder
The ESP-IDF component includes Tiny JPEG Decompressor.
The document of Tiny JPEG Decompressor is [here](http://elm-chan.org/fsw/tjpgd/00index.html).
This can reduce the image to 1/2 1/4 1/8.
# PNG Decoder
The ESP-IDF component includes part of the miniz library, such as mz_crc32.
But it doesn't support all of the miniz.
The document of miniz library is [here](https://github.com/richgel999/miniz).
And I ported the pngle library from [here](https://github.com/kikuchan/pngle).
This can reduce the image to any size.
# Font File
This project uses the following as default fonts:
- font/ILGH16XB.FNT // 8x16Dot Gothic
- font/ILGH24XB.FNT // 12x24Dot Gothic
- font/ILGH32XB.FNT // 16x32Dot Gothic

# 4-line resistance touch screen
Some TFT has 4-line resistance touch screen.
The 4-line resistor touch screen uses 4 pins.
- X(+):Digital Output
- X(-):Digital Output/Analog Input
- Y(+):Digital Output/Analog Input
- Y(-):Digital Output
When using GPIO Parallel Interface or REGISTER Parallel Interface, you can enable 4-line resistance touch screen using menuconfig.
ESP-IDF cannot simultaneous both digital output and analog input using a single gpio.
Two GPIOs are required for simultaneous digital output and analog input.
(X-) and ESP32 are connected with two wires.
(Y+) and ESP32 are connected with two wires.
```
(X-) ----+---- Gpio for Digital Output(Using GPIO number)
+---- Gpio for Analog Input(Using ADC1 Channel number)
(Y+) ----+---- Gpio for Digital Output(Using GPIO number)
+---- Gpio for Analog Input(Using ADC1 Channel number)
```
## Configuration for touch screen
- ADC Channel
When reading analog values, ESP-IDF can use ADC1 and ADC2.
This project use ADC1 to read analog value.
ESP32 has 8 channels: GPIO32 - GPIO39.
ESP32S2/S3 has 10 channels: GPIO01 - GPIO10.
Refer to the ESP32 data sheet for the relationship between ADC channels and GPIOs.
When using ADC1_6(ADC1 Channel#6) and ADC1_7(ADC1 Channel#7), the following wiring is additionally required.
|TFT|ADC1|ESP32|ESP32S2/S3|
|:-:|:-:|:-:|:-:|
|LCD-WR(Y+)|Channel#6|GPIO34|GPIO07|
|LCD-RS(X-)|Channel#7|GPIO35|GPIO08|
- GPIO number
It uses four GPIOs, but the GPIOs differ depending on the TFT model.
- Save calibration data to NVS
Write calibration data to NVS.
Read calibration data from NVS when starting the firmware and use it.
If you use the same TFT, you don't need to calibrate again.
To clear the calibration data recorded in NVS, execute the following command.
```
idf.py erase_flash
```

# Application layer
# Performance comparison using ILI9488(320x480)
I2S parallel is not always faster.
Depending on the application, REGISTER I/O parallel may be faster.
Compiling with the O2 option doesn't help much.
The unit of the number is the required time in milliseconds.
A smaller value indicates faster speed.
