  • TFT_eSPI

    Arduino and PlatformIO IDE compatible TFT library optimised for the Raspberry Pi Pico (RP2040), STM32, ESP8266 and ESP32 that supports different driver chips

    I bought a HX8357 TFT panel from AliExpress that came with an Arduino Uno and it worked but was too slow to update the screen. I though that using an ESP32 would make it faster as it is faster than the Arduino. The problem is that the maker of the TFT panel don't have any libraries to work with an ESP32. I tried the TFT_eSPI library from GitHub and changed the User_Setup.h to use the pins that I'm connecting it to but the screen is always black.
