Soldering Work
Follow the LCD datasheet connect the pins. Please read through the datasheet before connection especially if you are not ordered same LCD model.
Here are the connection summary:
ESP32 -> LCD GND -> Pin 1 GND -> Pin 2 LED K 3v3. -> Pin 4 Vcc -> 20 Ohm -> Pin 3 LEDA GPIO 27 -> Pin 7 D/C GPIO 5 -> Pin 8 CS GPIO 18 -> Pin 9 SCK GPIO 23 -> Pin 10 MOSI GPIO 33 -> Pin 11 RST
Seal Wires
Use some tapes to seal the soldered wires and exposed pins.
Assembly
Please follow the video to assembly.
