3. Подешавање
3.1. Почетно укључивање
Upon initial power-up via the USB port, the board performs a self-test and displays a demo application. This confirms basic functionality and showcases the display's graphical capabilities.
3.2. Повезивање са рачунаром
Connect the development board to your computer using the provided USB cable. This connection provides power and enables communication for programming.
3.3. Driver Installation (if necessary)
If your computer does not automatically recognize the device, you may need to install a USB-SERIAL CH340 (COM) driver. This driver is commonly required for ESP32 boards. A common source for this driver can be found via a web search for "CH340 driver".
4. Operating the Development Board
4.1. Programming Environment Setup
The ESP32-3248S035C board can be programmed using various Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) such as Arduino IDE, ESP IDE, or MicroPython. Ensure you select the correct board and port in your IDE settings.
Figure 4.1: Programming environment options for the development board.
4.2. Library Selection
When developing applications, it is crucial to use the correct display and touch libraries. For this 3.5-inch capacitive touch display, ensure your chosen library supports capacitive touch and the ST7796 driver with 480x320 resolution. Some users have found success with the ESP32-3248S035 GitHub repository анд тхе OpenHASP documentation for Sunton ESP32-3248S035 boards.
4.3. Uploading Code
Code can be uploaded to the board via your chosen IDE (e.g., Arduino IDE) or using the Espressif Download Tool. Ensure the correct COM port is selected and the baud rate is set appropriately for faster flashing.

5. Одржавање
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Stemedu ESP32 Capacitive Touch Screen, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Чишћење: Use a soft, dry, anti-static cloth to clean the display and board. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Складиштење: Store the board in a cool, dry environment, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Руковање: Handle the board by its edges to avoid touching sensitive components or the display surface.
- Напајање: Always use a stable and appropriate power supply (via USB or VIN/GND pins as specified).
КСНУМКС. Решавање проблема
| Проблем | Могући узрок | Решење |
|---|---|---|
| Екран се не укључује. | No power, faulty USB cable, or incorrect power source. | Check USB connection, try a different cable or USB port. Ensure power supply meets specifications. |
| Computer not recognizing the board. | Missing or incorrect USB driver. | Install the USB-SERIAL CH340 (COM) driver. |
| Display shows garbled or incorrect graphics. | Incorrect display library or configuration in code. | Verify that the correct capacitive touch and ST7796 driver libraries are used. Ensure display resolution (480x320) is correctly set in your code. |
| Екран на додир не реагује. | Incorrect touch library or calibration issues. | Confirm the capacitive touch library is correctly implemented. Check for any specific touch calibration routines required by your chosen library. |
| Code upload fails. | Incorrect COM port, baud rate, or board selection in IDE. | Ensure the correct COM port is selected. Try different baud rates. Verify the board type is correctly selected in your IDE. |
