unrecognisable issue

[sujay119]

Hi ,
I’m new to the ESP32 world, and I recently got a LilyGo T-Display S3 Pro board to create a photo viewer that reads images from an SD card.

Initially, I uploaded a simple SD card reading code, and it worked fine. However, after that, the board started showing errors, and now it won’t start at all.

If I try uploading another code, it throws GPIO errors.
If I fix those, it says the T-Display S3 Pro setup is not selected, even though I selected it in the configuration.
I’m stuck and don’t know how to proceed. Any help would be appreciated!

Here’s what I’ve tried so far:

Ensured the correct board is selected in the Arduino IDE.
Verified the User_Setup_Select.h file in the TFT_eSPI library to confirm the correct setup is uncommented.
Reinstalled the drivers and libraries.
My Setup:
Board: LilyGo T-Display S3 Pro
IDE: Arduino IDE

CODE:
#include <TFT_eSPI.h>
#include <SD.h>

#define SD_CS 5 // Adjust to your SD card CS pin

TFT_eSPI tft = TFT_eSPI();

void setup() {
Serial.begin(115200);

// Initialize TFT display
tft.begin();
tft.setRotation(1);
tft.fillScreen(TFT_BLACK);

// Initialize SD card
if (!SD.begin(SD_CS)) {
tft.fillScreen(TFT_RED);
tft.setTextColor(TFT_WHITE, TFT_BLACK);
tft.drawString("SD Init Failed!", 10, 10);
while (true);
}

tft.setTextColor(TFT_WHITE, TFT_BLACK);
tft.drawString("SD Initialized!", 10, 10);

// Test: List files on the SD card
File root = SD.open("/");
tft.drawString("Files on SD:", 10, 30);
int y = 50;
while (true) {
File file = root.openNextFile();
if (!file) break;
tft.drawString(file.name(), 10, y);
y += 20;
file.close();
}
}

void loop() {}
AFTER THIS IT STARTED

again error

[sujay119]

i uploaded the adjust backlight code and the display shows nothing

WhatsApp.Video.2024-12-26.at.19.58.39_475948d3.mp4

[sujay119]

and if i upload another code it says
Invalid FQBN: getting build properties for board esp32:esp32:esp32s3: invalid option 'ZigbeeMode'

Compilation error: Invalid FQBN: getting build properties for board esp32:esp32:esp32s3: invalid option 'ZigbeeMode'

[lewisxhe]

What system do you use? If it is Windows, then go to this path, delete the esp32 folder, and then reinstall it C:\Users\YourNmae\AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages

[sujay119]

thank you so much man really got tensed actually working on project
can i ask you questions tomorrow at this time if i account any error

[lewisxhe]

I'll reply when I see it.
