Ini-File for Waveshare ESP32-S3-Touch-LCD-7 Rev1.2

[TommySharpNZ]

Hi Team!
Let me just start by saying I'm a complete copy, paste & tinker coder so don't fully understand how this works but wanted to log this here in case it helps others.

I think the 7" version, while a little too big, does have a nice bezel, screen and looks like I should be able to wall mount it quite tidily!

I will note that like in the 4.3" thread I have not been able to get the backlight turning off/on yet but it looks like there is a "solder" workaround which I might have to try once I'm a little braver!

I got the ini file from here so all credit to "Huy Le" and "sergeynik77" on this youtube video. I didn't change anything in the ini file but will add that it took me a lot of trial and error to get it properly compiling in CS Code etc etc..

Hello! Could you please share the compiled code for this display? I'm constantly getting compilation errors.

You can download waveshare.zip from the lastest successful build action.

Thank you! I understand that a 4.3-inch file should work for a 7-inch display.
