Setting up lvgl_micropython on the Sunton ESP32 8048S050C 5.0" capacitive touch 800x480 LCD board

[gitcnd]

This 8048S050 board is larger, but otherwise completely identical to the 8048S043 - see here for building on it: #287

I've posted this as a new discussion so that anyone searching for how to run lvgl on micropython on their ESP32-8048S050C_I boards can find this amazing repo! (those numbers etc are the codes in the stickers on the antistatic bags these come in, and the slightly different code found on the PCB itself on the back, and the slightly-different-again codes that sellers use in their listings.).

Hello, how are you? Thank you very much for sharing information about 8048s050. I compiled and tested the sample code from discussion #287, but the screen is only showing white. Do I need to modify something for it to work on 8048s050? Greetings from Argentina.

I would be very grateful if you could provide me with information on how to initialize esp32-8048s050.

Hi Chris Drake @gitcnd, thanks for sharing. I followed post #287 and downloaded the firmware you kindly shared. However, when I run the example, the objects and the entire screen start to scroll from left to right. Could you give me some clues as to what I should change? Thanks.

You should be running WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) if you are using Linux a lot. It is a feature that is built into Windows 10 and Windows 11. You just have to turn it on and go to the Microsoft store to collect the Linux you want to use in the WSL. Search for WSL Ubuntu in the store.

Thanks Kevin, but WSL doesn't play well with VMware which I use for my work and I need to nest Windows virtual machines.

who's Chris?

Sorry Kevin, my mistake

It's cool.
