Really appreciate this detailed description of possible routes to go. I was able to upload once to this board over usb-c, not doing anything special. The second time I tried, I ran into the issue you describe.

My board came with a jst-connector, and I'm connecting pin 0 to gnd to get a boot switch. This makes my board show up on com23 instead of 22 when it's running the sketch. The problem is that nothing will upload. esptool just hangs after Serial port COM23, no errors, nothing.

I've tried pressing reset while boot is low, then releasing reset and lastly releasing boot. I've also tried holding boot the whole time while trying to upload.

CURRENT: upload_protocol = esptool
Looking for upload port...
Auto-detected: COM23
Forcing reset using 1200bps open/close on port COM23
Waiting for the new upload port...
Uploading .pio\build\WT32-SC01-PLUS\firmware.bin
esptool.py v4.5
Serial port COM23

Maybe some of you knows the answer:
Own a WT32-SC01 Plus. Question: Which type/norm of socket is the debug connector. Tried to find it out but no success up to now ...

Hi my friends, I make another project based on this project.
Im make GUI on Squareline and export UI files to WT32-SqLn/main/ui
I following this guide https://github.com/janick/WT32-SqLn#lanscape-orientation for configure landscape orientation
But, after flash my UI is cutting:

I do not have idea how to solve this.

Best regards

I would like to know how i can run the code using LVGL only without Lovyan.

Thanks.

Hi Janick, just a quick thank you for now, I just found your repo. Some days ago my 2 pcs of SC01 Plus arrived, and while desperately trying to program them a Hello world with 8ms thru USB-C (seems that I managed to brick one of them, hope the right programmer revives it) and finding almost no information, you came to my rescue. I was even thinking to switch to the plain SC01 version: more info, more IO (with standard pin headers), extension boards available, but I am tempted by the prettier and faster display. have to compromise.

Your Boot Button looks great! I have a similar lying around somewhere, will do it!

I am looking to interface the SC01 Plus with some of my CNC machines first, so I will need IO to some MOSFET and relay drivers, motor control, PWM output for LED drivers, maybe I2C or SPI input. Will buy some of those 8-pin MX1.25 connectors (thank you for showing the source, I found no info how they are even called)
Do you have an idea what existing IO extension board or ICs to use, in terms of what there are more examples for, software driver libraries? Considering the few available IO lines, I may rather choose to interface everything thru the RS485, making my on data bus with all my peripherals (with PIC controllers to convert everything to RS485), but how is serial communication supported by software libraries? I do not have much experience in ESP32 programming, previously I programmed the Microchip family microcontrollers.

sorry to barrage you with questions, (there will be more if I didn't scare you away) you're my only source of wisdom for now.

Thanks for the useful repo. In the readme it says :

5. Build the demo application using the command idf.py build

Where is the demo UI? Is there supposed to be some demo squareline files inside main/ui?

Hello Janick

I used board wt32-sc01-plus

Can you help me to configuration platformio.ini file ?

I spend time to configuration vscode -> plateformio to use psram but it is not working.

Thank you so much.

Hello sir i have WT32 and squareline i would like to run the squareline exported code on my WT32 but when i follow your instructions it says that i need to work with OTA, i do not know if i can skip this step or disable OTA in your peoject so that i just run simple sqaureline project on WT32 and if you have another way to do that i will be glad to show me.

Thanks.

Most likely I'm missing a step but, after doing:

bringing all submodules in
idf.py set-target esp32
idf.py build

I get the following error:

hi, esp has a function esp_sleep_enable_ext0_wakeup, tell me which pin is responsible for the output from deep sleep?

Hello.
The wt32_sc01_plus.zip is missing in Squareline board folder.
Is it possible to add it somehow?

Found your repository, your work and detail in this github page is awesome. thank you.
two things:

1. would you consider sharing your step file for the 3d case?
2. have you see the openHASP project that utilizes this device? openhasp.com/ its come a long way!

Hi, thanks for your article, it helped me a lot to figure out that usb-c was not created for downloading a sketch
But I have a question, how to connect the programmer in wt32-sc01 plus

it seemed to me mlm on the attached screenshot, you have changed the rx and tx places, could you attach a clear connection diagram of the programmer?
and I understand that you are powering wt32-sc01 plus from 3v3?

Started fresh with everything today, getting this error trying to build:

`/home/me/git/WT32-SqLn/components/LovyanGFX/src/lgfx/v1/platforms/esp32s3/Bus_Parallel8.cpp: In member function 'virtual void lgfx::v1::Bus_Parallel8::writeBytes(const uint8_t*, uint32_t, bool, bool)':
/home/me/git/WT32-SqLn/components/LovyanGFX/src/lgfx/v1/platforms/esp32s3/Bus_Parallel8.cpp:354:70: error: 'LCD_CAM_LCD_UPDATE_REG' was not declared in this scope; did you mean 'LCD_CAM_LCD_UPDATE_M'?

354 | *reg_lcd_user = LCD_CAM_LCD_CMD | LCD_CAM_LCD_CMD_2_CYCLE_EN | LCD_CAM_LCD_UPDATE_REG | LCD_CAM_LCD_START;`

The same error occurs with Bus_Parallel16.cpp.
I'm building on Ubuntu 22.10 with Python 3.10.7
I've tried the earlier versions of LovyanGFX (1.1.15, 1.1.16) to no avail.

This may not be the best forum to post this but this is something that clearly caused an enormous amount of frustration.

I got the WT32-SC01 not the plus. But they visually seem to be the same surface mounted port.
I had the same issues with the com port not showing up. The board would power up. But not show up as a port I could program to.

Fortunately I took the stupid approach and just forced it in harder. It was more force than seems reasonable. There was an audible click and the plug went in another fraction of a milometer. This is definitely not a typical thing for USB C: a click when fully seated, but this component seems to be that way.

It showed up at a com port. And I was able to program it as a esp32 wrover kit.

I still can't figure out how to get everything working. As there are few examples, but I guess that is the downside to a lesser known board.

Thank you for making this tutorial to help people.

Hi, thanks for the guide bro,

I need help for the build project.
This is my config for export path ui in squareline:

I I followed the steps described on your page, however, trying to execute the build command idf.py build is returning an error in the ui.c file when you need these methods:

This is error in terminal:

Any idea how to solve this ?

Best regards
