How to Set Up ST7789 TFT LCD with ESP32-S3 | Fix Crashes & Use Adafruit & TFT_eSPI Libraries
Published at : 22 Dec 2025
In this video, we set up the ST7789 TFT LCD screen with an ESP32-S3 and explore how to use two popular libraries: "Adafruit ST7735 and ST7789 Library" and "TFT_eSPI Library". We also tackle common crashing issues when using the TFT_eSPI library for the first time. Follow along as we go step by step through installation, wiring, and testing with multiple examples.
