I have purchased 8 CrowPanel Advance 7“ HMI| ESP32-S3 V 1.2, and the codes for version 1.0 are not working on these screens, version 1.2, black screen, please what is the solution?
Dear Ricardo_Rico,
1. Please pay attention to this content : "Currently our course programs are suitable for the old version of hardware. The course programs for the new version of hardware need to be modified according to the factory program, and we will update them later."

In the end, is there any example code that brings something to the display of an Advanced 7.0 v1.2?
Even the firmware code has been deleted
Dear TitiMoby ,
I just updated the link in my original post, please check it again.
I will try. It is quite painful to have a folder with copied libraries out of normal Arduino IDE behaviour.
Each time I want to switch from CrowPanel to other regular project, I have to set back the sketchbook location
Hello,
The PlatformIO demo from this link: Google Drive folder does not work with the CrowPanel 7" Advance v1.2.
When using Arduino with ESP-IDF v3.0.2 and replacing the board with ESP32S3_120M, everything works perfectly.
I’m looking for a working PlatformIO framework configuration for this board.
Any help or guidance would be appreciated. Thank you!
The CrowPanel Advance 7.0-HMI ESP32 AI Display v1.2 features hardware improvements over v1.0, including better power management, improved touch response, and enhanced compatibility with peripherals, offering more stable performance for embedded and IoT applications using the ESP32 platform..

Dear Algirdas,
We apologize for the inconvenience caued.
Did you encounter any errors when using our PlatformIO program? Please copy and send us a screenshot of the error messages for further analysis. And also plesease describe the specific Problem/Fault Phenomenon.
Best regards,
Hi everyone 👋
I’m curious for those who’ve tried both CrowPanel Advance 7.0 HMI ESP32 AI Display v1.0 and v1.2, what’s your experience? I saw someone say that v1.2 supports brightness adjustment (which sounds handy).
Would love to hear real-world differences (performance, software compatibility, display quality) and any gotchas you ran into.
Looking forward to learning from you all!
Thanks for the clear breakdown - this really helps 👍
From what I understand, the key difference between CrowPanel Advance 7.0 HMI ESP32 v1.0 and v1.2 is the updated hardware in v1.2, especially brightness control and better flexibility for modern industrial HMI and embedded display projects. The software side still needs updated examples, which explains why some v1.0 demos don’t run properly on v1.2 yet.
For anyone working with ESP32 displays, LVGL interfaces, or industrial electronics solutions, sharing tested examples for v1.2 would be very useful, especially for real-world HMI applications.
So far, I'm having difficulty also. What used to work on the older board, no longer works. I'm not sure what all has changed.
I'll keep looking, I have much to sort through. But as of now, even the backlight doesn't work. The most basic serial program does not work (set up serial, send text, that's it). The display unit simply resets over and over. (I know the BL function has changed, so I can work on that, but I have no idea what's wrong with the serial, it's a VERY basic program)
I will look at the provided code, and see if I can make some changes to get things working again. There is much to digest.
One BIG problem is that the examples use OLD libraries. And the "Platformio" example, is really a "Squareline" example.
