# Display and touchpad drivers for ESP32 using LVGL
For a ready to use ESP32 project take look at the [lv_port_esp32](https://github.com/lvgl/lv_port_esp32) repository.
#### Table of content
- [Supported display controllers](#supported-display-controllers)
- [Supported indev controllers](#supported-indev-controllers)
- [Support for predefined development kits](#support-for-predefined-development-kits)
- [Thread-safe I2C with I2C Manager](#thread-safe-i2c-with-i2c-manager)
- [Backlight control](#backlight-control)
**NOTE:** You need to set the display horizontal and vertical size, color depth and
swap of RGB565 color on the LVGL configuration menuconfig (it's not handled automatically).

## Supported indev controllers
- XPT2046
- FT3236, FT6X36
- FT6206 controllers should work as well (not tested)
- STMPE610
- FT81x (Single, Dual, and Quad SPI)
If your display or input device (touch) controller is not supported consider contributing to this repo by
adding support to it! [Contribute controller support](CONTRIBUTE_CONTROLLER_SUPPORT.md)
## Support for predefined development kits
You can also use the predefined kits, which selects the correct display controllers on the kit,
and sets the gpio numbers for the interface.
| Kit name | Display controller | Interface | Hor. Res. | Ver. Res. |
|---------------------------|-----------------------|-----------|-----------|-----------|
| ESP Wrover Kit v4.1 | ILI9341 | SPI | 240 | 320 |
| M5Stack | ILI9341 | SPI | 240 | 320 |
| M5Stack Core2 | ILI9341 | SPI | 240 | 320 |
| M5Stick | SH1107 | SPI | - | - |
| M5StickC | ST7735S | SPI | 80 | 160 |
| Adafruit 3.5 Featherwing | HX8357 | SPI | 480 | 320 |
| RPi MPI3501 | ILI9486 | SPI | - | - |
| Wemos Lolin OLED | SSD1306 | SPI | 64 | 128 |
| ER-TFT035-6 | ILI9488 | SPI | 480 | 320 |
| AIRcable ATAGv3 | IL3820 | SPI | 128 | 296 |
| TTGO T-Display | ST7789 | SPI | 135 | 240 |
| TTGO Camera Plus | ST7789 | SPI | 240 | 240 |
**NOTE:** See [Supported display controllers](#supported-display-controllers) for more information on display configuration.
**NOTE:** See [Supported indev controllers](#supported-indev-controllers) for more information about indev configuration.
## Thread-safe I2C with I2C Manager
LVGL can use I2C to read from a touch sensor or write to a display, possibly
many times a second. Meanwhile, other tasks may also want to read from i2c
devices on the same bus. I2C using the ESP-IDF is not thread-safe.
I2C Manager (`i2c_manager`) is a component that will let code in multiple threads
talk to devices on the I2C ports without getting in each other's way. These drivers
use a built-in copy of I2C Manager to talk to the I2C port, but you can also use
the I2C Manager component itself and have others play nice with LVGL and vice-versa.
[Click here](i2c_manager/README.md) for details.
## Backlight control
Control of LCD's backlight is provided by separate module that is independent from the display driver.
Configuration of the backlight controller can be found in menuconfig `LVGL ESP Drivers -> LVGL TFT Display controller`.
There are three modes of operation:
1. Off - No backlight control
2. Switch - Allows ON/OFF control
3. PWM - Allows brightness control (by Pulse-Width-Modulated signal)
