T-Display-S3 is a ESP32-S3 development board. It is equipped with a color 1.9" LCD screen and two programmable buttons. Communication using I8080 interface. Retains the same layout design as T-Display. You can directly use ESP32S3 for USB communication or programming.
T-Display-S3 is available from: [LILYGO](https://www.lilygo.cc/products/t-display-s3), [Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B7X5RVTH?ref=myi_title_dp) and [Aliexpress](https://www.aliexpress.com/item/3256804310228562.html).
The board uses USB as the JTAG upload port. When printing serial port information on USB, CDC_ON_BOOT configuration needs to be turned on.
If the port cannot be found when uploading the program or the USB has been used for other functions, the port does not appear.
Please enter the upload mode manually.
- Press and hold the BOOT button when the power is off, the button is located behind the RST button.
- When the USB is connected, first press and hold the BOOT button, then click reset and then release the BOOT button

2. Click OK and the software will install.
3. Search for ESP32 in Tools → Board Manager and install ESP32-Arduino SDK (version 2.0.3 or above)
4. Copy everything from this repository lib folder to [Arduino library folder](https://docs.arduino.cc/software/ide-v1/tutorials/installing-libraries#manual-installation) (e.g. `C:\Users\YourName\Documents\Arduino\libraries`)
5. Select the correct settings in the Tools menu as shown below.
The installation method varies depending on the system, it is recommended to refer to the [official manual](https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/latest/esp32/get-started/index.html) for installation.
> Some settings, withing the TFT_eSPI library, need to be modified. A modified library is provided in this repository in the lib folder. Copy it to your [Arduino library folder](https://docs.arduino.cc/software/ide-v1/tutorials/installing-libraries#manual-installation).
>
> Alternatively you must patch your clone of a TFT_eSPI library with `Micky_commit.patch`.
