This project demonstrates the use of XinaBox xChips interfaced with a 4.3" Riverdi Display based off the FT801 touch display controller by FTDI. Using the ESP32 as the MCU (CW02) and the OD22 (interface to the display), we can display "Hello World" on the screen.
Connect the screen to OD22 using the flat flex cable
Assemble the unit below and connect IP01 to your computer. I recommend to use a USB extension cable to do this. This completes the hardware portion of the project.
The following software is required. Follow instructions in the links to install correctly. If you don't know how to install libraries in Arduino, see here.
- Arduino IDE - Programming Environment
- ESP32 - Board installation for CW02
- OD22 - OD22 Arduno library
Once the board and library has been installed, restart Arduino for the changes to take effect.
Open up the Hello World example shown below.
Select the XinaBox CW02 board. Be sure to select the correct COM port
Upload the code.
You will see the screen display "Hello World".
