Help with 4.3” 800x480 ESP32 Display Setup for Digital Album Project

[rainrco]

Hey everyone,

I hope you’re all doing well. I’m pretty new to this kind of project, and while I usually manage to figure things out, this one is really giving me a hard time.

I recently purchased a 4.3-inch 800x480 ESP32 display. According to the AliExpress (https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256806 ... t=glo2usa), the display driver is the ILI9341.
I’m planning to create a Digital Album Display with this setup. My idea is to attach an SD card and have the display show the pictures from it.

Here are my main questions:

What library can I use to get started with this device?
Are there any specific configurations or initial setups I should be aware of?
Can someone guide me through the process or provide resources to help set this up?
I would greatly appreciate any patience and help you can offer to get this at least initially set up. Thank you in advance!

ILI9341 is widely used across ESP-IDF examples, e.g., https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf/tr ... master/lcd and https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf/tr ... _lcd_touch.
You may run these to check whether it works. After that, the process is pretty much agnostic of the screen you use since you will only need a function to flush the screen after initialization.
