Matouch 1.28 DevKit

1. Introduction

2. Arduino IDE

  • Install the Arduino IDE V1.8.19/V2.3.4 If you haven’t installed the ESP32 Board SDK yet, follow the steps in this guide to get started quickly.

For the ESP32-S3 Development board version, we recommend using versions that have been verified, such as 3.0.7, which is more stable, and less prone to errors.

Note: Different computers may have different port numbers when connecting to a development board. Please select the correct port number based on the development board you are connecting to.

3. Usage

Please download the relevant driver libraries before using these demos.

Download the library from github.

Once the download is complete, copy these libraries into the Arduino library.

  • The default is usually in the "C:\Users\Your username\Documents\Arduino\libraries"

Note: All kit work requires the involvement of the ESP32S3 Controller, and all of the following routines are programmed by burning code into the ESP32S3 Controller.

Before uploading the code, please set the parameters of the tools as shown in the picture below.

3.1 RGB Matrix Panel Driver

Hardware Connection:

Use the cable to connect the left side of the arrow to the expansion board.

The red wire is connected to the 5v of the expansion board, and the black wire is connected to the GND of the expansion board.

1.Download the SD card file from github and save it to the SD card.
