Sorry to bothering here again about the same question.

I'd bought another SSD1322(16pin) to test again. The situation is the same:

1.I use the same pin setting and code from vinc for ESP32 S2 mini and SSD1322.

2.The HW SPI mode just never work (black), the SW SPI mode work but EXTREMELY SLOW. I guess the code and pin is correct but some other thing wrong.

The result this time is same as before. I guess I must have some problem on ESP32 or driver, could anyone successful make it work give me some more detail about using it?like the drive you use, the setting in arduino IDE for board, etc...Thanks in advanced.

As there are a few on the market, please tell us exactly what ESP32 board do you use. Probably a link to the supplier would do it.

Regards, Vinc

Thank you Vinc! It's the esp32 s2 mini (purple pcb) I keep struggling with. I bought 2 and they have the same problem.

I had study about this and can successful upload it. I think the upload is successful, because when I change the code from SW SPI to HW SPI it appear different.

I bought these from one supplier in ali and can't make sure if they are fault, just can't made the HW SPI to work.

Not 1:1 related to you issue but maybe worth to mention:

The ESP32-S2 and S3 boards seem to suffer from Bug related to serial communication. E.g: https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/issues/10323

When sending and receiving data over it's native USB serial interface the USB connection will stall.

We've run into that issue while using a ESP32-S2 as a F/A18-C UFC controller. (sending and receiving data)

Since you're only receiving DCS-BIOS data in your DED project you shouldn't be affected.

You can readout the hardware SPI ports like I posted here:

@Snakedoc

Finally my SSD1322 display arrived from Aliexpress. Nine days from China to Germany, normal shipping, that`s great!

Display arrived the factory style, configured for the 80xx parallel bus.

Like already written here in the posts, to convert it into 4 wire SPI configuration, resistors R5 and R6 had to be swapped.

As this is at zero Ohm, R6 carefully may be snipped off the board and jumper R5 could be bridged by a solder blob.

Connection to the LOLIN ESP32 S2 Mini has been done as already proposed:

OLED -> LOLIN S2 Mini 
 1   -> GND
 2   -> 3.3V
 4   -> 7 CLK hardware SPI
 5   -> 11 MOSI hardware SPI
14   -> 6 DC
15   -> 8 RST (may be changed to any digital pin)
16   -> 12 CS hardware SPI

The display is quick responsive to the F-16 DED with hardware SPI and the driver must read:

U8G2_SSD1322_NHD_256X64_F_4W_HW_SPI u8g2(U8G2_R0, /* cs=*/ 12, /* dc=*/ 6, /* reset=*/ 8);

I think that this display may replace that in my CMSP panel, so I did a quick sketch and custome fonts for the A-10C that already looks great.

Please find below the adapted F-16 DED sketch for the S2 Mini and SSD1322 display.

Thanks for reply Vinc! I just follow this post and use the exactly same pin define and code you posted, the comtroller is esp32 s2 mini too.

Do you use any special driver for your esp32 s2 mini? I can't fugure out other reason...

Not 1:1 related to you issue but maybe worth to mention:

The ESP32-S2 and S3 boards seem to suffer from Bug related to serial communication. E.g: https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/issues/10323

When sending and receiving data over it's native USB serial interface the USB connection will stall.

We've run into that issue while using a ESP32-S2 as a F/A18-C UFC controller. (sending and receiving data)

Since you're only receiving DCS-BIOS data in your DED project you shouldn't be affected.

Yes I only receive data from dcs-bios in DED, I just wonder other people (include Vinc) successful on HW SPI mode on esp32 s2 mini, I wish I can do it too

Did you installed the latest ESP32 drivers?

I put the following lines into File -> Preferences -> Additional board managers URLs:

Thanks Vinc, I had try to include these URL and upload again, still not work...:(

I guess I should pass this one and back to mega2560 SW mode, I got bad luck with s2 mini but I will keep looking at this thread for more information. Thank you again!

Ghostrider313 · April 16

I cannot get my ESP 32 S2 Mini to boot load correctly to change the port. I can load the Code with Arduino IDE, but before it is finished the COM port drops off. I am getting very frustrated with trying to get my DED to work. I am at the point now where I just want to use a Mega and go from there, but I am confused with the tread on what code to use for the Mega. Can someone help me out here.

Vinc_Vega · April 26

You can try to keep the boot button pressed during the upload process.
