This repository contains some experimental setup for using the esp32-2432s028 develoment board with tft display within Home Assistant. Only a few gpio pins are exposed and usable, but by using I²C you could use a MCP23017 module to add additional ports.
All credits for extended pinout explanation go to macsbug, see more on: https://macsbug.wordpress.com/2022/08/17/esp32-2432s028/
Flashing instructions: keep the boot button pressed when you plug in the USB cable/flasher, this will allow to flash the firmware.
Two separate SPI busses are being used for the display and the touchscreen.
spi:
- id: lcd
clk_pin: GPIO14
mosi_pin: GPIO13
miso_pin: GPIO12
- id: touch
clk_pin: GPIO25
mosi_pin: GPIO32
miso_pin: GPIO39
The esp32-2432s028 has an ili9341 display that can be used via the lcd SPI bus:
display:
- platform: ili9xxx
model: ILI9341
spi_id: lcd
cs_pin: 15
dc_pin: 2
lambda: |-

# Former led pin in the display config
output:
- platform: ledc
pin: 21
id: former_led_pin
# Define a monochromatic, dimmable light for the backlight
light:
- platform: monochromatic
output: former_led_pin
name: "Display Backlight"
id: back_light
restore_mode: ALWAYS_ON
To add touch functionalities, a touchscreen component should be added via the touch SPI bus:
touchscreen:
platform: xpt2046
spi_id: touch
cs_pin: 33
interrupt_pin: 36
update_interval: 50ms
threshold: 400
calibration_x_min: 3860
calibration_x_max: 280
calibration_y_min: 340
calibration_y_max: 3860
The default gpio pins for I2C on an ESP32 are GPIO21 and GPIO22. Both of them are exposed in the extended IO connector (P3), but apparently GPIO21 is also used as a led pin in the lcd SPI bus, so it looks as if this gpio pin is somehow useless on the extended IO connector. GPIO35 which is also exposed in the extended IO connector can only be used for input, so also useless for I2C. Luckily there is another connector with GPIO27, which makes it possible to setup an I2C bus.

Using one of the above enclosure options, a 600 MAh 3.7V battery and a MT3608 step-up convertor, I tried to make a Home Assistant remote control. Conclusion: it works, but unfortunately I didn't manage to keep it working for an acceptable period of time, even with deep sleep implemented.
