T display S3 power supply
-
Hello, is it possible to use the T display S3 pin labelled 5V as an input power supply? Or it is only an output pin…..
Regards
Papbo -
@papbo On the schematic It would appear to be OK.
I would connect 5V to the USB connector, to be sure! -
Hello,
If I connect the USB cable on the display, I can measure 5V on the pin labeled 5V.
However if I connect 5V on the pin labelled 5V, the display is not working. I suppose that this pin is only an output pin or we need to activate a Gpio Pin nr XX to HIGH or something else. -
@papbo I made a GitHub repository to support the LilyGO T-Display S3 here:

Yes, you should turn on:
(if you are NOT running one of my sketches), you should add:
#define LCDpin 15 just before the setup and then in setup add:
pinMode(LCDpin, OUTPUT); //"triggers the LCD backlight, and enables remote power, such as battery
digitalWrite(LCDpin, HIGH); //on startup" -
@teastain2 Hi,
Thanks for the support, I will add the command and test

@teastain2 Hello,
Fine with Pin 15 setup output high, LCD is working fine with only a 5V supply on the +5V pin
Have a nice day -
@teastain2 Thanks for the hint !
This is exactly what I was looking for and worked perfectly.
