I recently purchased the Elecrow 5" HMI (DIS0750h) in hopes to build my own resource monitor screen for myself.

But I have watch several of the Tutorials and downloaded the lessons and the examples for this specific screen. But i have YET to get a single Arduino Sketch to properly compile.

I have tried reverting the LVGL to 8.3.11 from the newest 9.4.0, and it does change the errors but still no luck.
The errors seem to be declaration of function errors...

I have even TOTALLY uninstalled Arduino and reinstalled... including scrubbing all libraries. presently only running the libraries that are required, but still it won't compile. The latest attempt is with the "crowpanel-esp32-5.0" ino. and i get this error.
Compilation error: implicit declaration of function 'lv_mem_alloc'; did you mean 'lv_realloc'? [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]

Can anyone please help i feel like im running around in circles...
Thanks in advance..
Ettill

----> A fatal error occurred: No serial data received.

Can anyone help?
Cheers

Details about my board / setup:

I am trying to upload the first example sketch (the UART sketch) and I am getting:
Sketch uses 283469 bytes (21%) of program storage space. Maximum is 1310720 bytes.
Global variables use 18096 bytes (5%) of dynamic memory, leaving 309584 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 327680 bytes.

A fatal error occurred: No serial data received.
Failed uploading: uploading error: exit status 2

Does anyone know what drivers it requires? I tried to search through the PDF they had on their website searching for "USB" and did not see any mentions of drivers.

Download link for Android of GrowCube APP:

1.Please allow all the permission, especially Location Permission

2. After installation, firstly select Direct Connection Mode to update firmware

•  Direct Connection Mode: directly connect the device for control when there is no network outdoors.

  The mobile phone is directly connected to the wireless network sent by the device: growcube XXXX. This network is only used for communication between the device and the mobile phone, not for accessing the Internet. When the mobile phone prompts that the WiFi cannot access the network, click continue to use.

  After entering the device through the direct connection mode, you need to upgrade the firmware. After clicking the firmware to complete the upgrade, you can switch to the networking mode again. The networking is completed according to the operation, that is, the mobile phones and devices are connected to the WiFi in the home environment, that is, the WiFi in the user's home can normally access the network

3. After updating firmware, select Networking Mode to set up network configuration

Notice:

(1) Please don't use 5G network as it is currently not supported.

(2) It is no network when connect with WiFi named 'GrowCube_XXX', please switch to the APP and continue next step.

Reconnecting the USB and/or re-uploading the sketch might get it to work after multiple attempts. It is so hit or miss that I'm rethinking whether I should be using it in production. This happened on the first unit that I'm testing.

I have copied the snippet from the Wiki into gfx_conf.h and the main code is as follows:

#include <LovyanGFX.hpp>
#include <lgfx/v1/platforms/esp32s3/Panel_RGB.hpp>
#include <lgfx/v1/platforms/esp32s3/Bus_RGB.hpp>

#include "gfx_conf.h"

LGFX tft;

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
  tft.begin();
}

void loop() {
  uint x, y;
  if (tft.getTouch(&x, &y))
    tft.fillCircle(x, y, 2, TFT_WHITE);
  Serial.printf("X:%d,Y:%d\n", x, y);
}
