waveshareESP32-C6 1.47inch Display Development Board, 172×320, 262K Color, 160MHz Running Frequency Single-Core Processor, Supports Wi-Fi 6 & BLE, with Colorful RGB LED, ESP32 with Display

lovely board! instant setup and good wifi connection vs other boards. very very compact!

This little thing is awesome! It does work with micropython (I guess technically unofficially)I highly recommend going to the wave share site and downloading the schematic. It’s laid out very clearly and the documentation is superb.While I get the point of examples, I would recommend starting with the schematic and going from scratch to understand the board. I wouldn’t immediately start with libraries etc..It’s a joy to work on once you have an understanding of the board.The price is also very good. This board can essentially be the entire project.

Couldn't get the demos working or even basic arduino/esp-idf stuff. BUT... I was able to get it working nicely with homeassistant esphome!Here's the basics if you try.esphome:name: tinylcdfriendly_name: TinyLCDesp32:board: esp32-c6-devkitc-1framework:type: esp-idfota:- platform: esphomepassword: "xxx"spi:clk_pin: GPIO7mosi_pin: GPIO6# Backlight controloutput:- platform: ledcpin: GPIO22id: backlight_outputfrequency: 5000 Hzlight:- platform: monochromaticoutput: backlight_outputid: backlightname: "LCD Backlight"restore_mode: RESTORE_DEFAULT_ONdefault_transition_length: 0sdisplay:- platform: ili9xxxmodel: ST7789Vcs_pin: GPIO14dc_pin: GPIO15reset_pin: GPIO21rotation: 90invert_colors: trueupdate_interval: 1000msfont:- file: "gfonts://Roboto"id: roboto48size: 48bpp: 4- file: "gfonts://Roboto"id: roboto20size: 20bpp: 4- file: "gfonts://Roboto"id: roboto40size: 40bpp: 4lvgl:buffer_size: 50%style_definitions:- id: mystyletext_font: roboto48text_color: 0x00FFFFbg_color: 0x000000- id: smallstyletext_font: roboto20text_color: 0xFFFFFFbg_color: 0x000000- id: stockstyletext_font: roboto40text_color: 0xCCCCCCbg_color: 0x000000

Esp32 is fine and works great. LCD was easy to program but gets too hot and causes black spots or washes the screen to black. Probably fine for testing but not recommended for production applications

Instead of using the Waveshare examples I just loaded up the demo from the Adafruit_ST7789 library. I have seen others online complain about the display always remaining black. All that I had to do was bring the backlight pin GPIO_22 high and the display lit up right away. This pin can also be tied to 3v3 if you like to always keep the backlight on. The display size is small but it is clear and easy to read. I will buy again if another project needs this form factor.

This board is a nightmare to get the display to work which apparently has to do with coupling the ST7789 with the ESP32-C6 rather than an older ESP32 Dev board. Google this board asking about display configuration. The lamentation are colossal! For TFT_eSPI Library - massive number of library source code tweaks to get barely marginal operation that will squirrel out on you at the worst time. The Arduino_GFX library was tried and would display "something" sometimes but never the right color and rainbow pixel soup randomly appears.... that is if you can get it to compile in the first place. Tried to replace ArduinoESP32SPI with Arduino_HWSPI and manually initialize SPI to bypass the errors. Still no worky. The tutorials on the Waveshare Wiki for this board DO NOT WORK.In summary, until you confirm online that the various display libraries have been updated to accommodate this board or you are Steve Ciarcia or Dennis Ritchie, leave this board sitting in the Waveshare warehouse along with the demons that reside within it.

Used C++ to program this board with ESP-IDF doing WiFi/multicast and drawing on the display using the LVGL graphics library.The Waveshare sample source code helped me get started coding pretty quickly and the display is excellent.

Very cool little module.
