<p dir="auto">Two days ago, I purchased <strong>2 LILYGO ESP32-S3 Round Display Touch Screen T-RGB screens</strong>, <strong>one 2.1 inch screen</strong> purchased from AliExpress and the other <strong>2.8 inch screen</strong> purchased on the LILYGO website: Order LILYGO -17864</p>
<p dir="auto">I do not want to use Arduino IDE but instead I will use Visual Studio Code, in which I have just installed the Extensions of the Espressif ESP-IDF libraries and that of LilyGo-RGB.<br />
I can now compile examples of these libraries without problem with Visual Studio Code.</p>
<p dir="auto">I started to look at the code a little bet and I noticed that the <strong>ST7701S screen from Sitronix</strong> can support several color formats: <strong>16bits, 18bits and 24bits RGB</strong> interface.</p>
<p dir="auto">LiLYGO mentions on their site that the ESP32-S3 T-RGB screen is configured in <strong>18 bit RGB</strong> interface.</p>
<p dir="auto"><strong>My question :</strong></p>
<p dir="auto">Is this configuration fixed by the hardware or is there a configuration file that I can modify to configure the screen to operate in <strong>16bit RGB colors ?</strong></p>
<p dir="auto"><strong>I would like to use 16-bit color format instead of 18-bit!</strong></p>
<p dir="auto">Thank you in advance for your answer.</p>
