Anyone had any luck with the JC8012P4A1C_I_W_Y esp32 P4 module?

[mrpizza]

Hi everyone, I have recently bought a JC8012P4A1C_I_W_Y, which is an esp32 p4 module with a 10.1 display.
The vendor provided a repository with few demo aplications, some written in esp idf (https://github.com/guitionofficial/P4-s ... f-examples) but most of them doesn't work in my case.
It seems to me the main issue is related to the touch screen driver, not properly working. From the logs it looks like hanging there:
I (1537) gsl3680: gsl3680 writing 0xf0 0x12
E (1537) lcd_panel.io.i2c: panel_io_i2c_tx_buffer(193): i2c transaction failed
E (1537) gsl3680: touch_gsl3680_read_cfg(508): gsl3680 read error
I (1542) gsl3680: start init
I (1545) gsl3680: clear reg

Had anyone got experience with the same device and managed to get it working?

Thank you in advance

I got it to work, but had fun getting there. Need to flash the C6 as the firmware was to old and did not work with the current ESP-hosted component. Here is a couple of pictures of the current state of my Automation project.


Here my log till the app was up and running:

I have it working as a weather data display with graphs for my Davis Weather Station Data. But take no credit as it is all my buddy Claude…. Big issue is that we can’t get the sd card functions working. This is due to the gpio series uses by the sd/tf process are. also used by the WiFi. My understanding is that the ESP-IDF needs updating. Anyone working on this? Thanks
