How to use in Micropython?

[h3clikejava]

只看到介绍说支持Micropython，没看到文档呀？ *.py 文件在哪里找？

You beat me by a few hours, I wanted to open the same issue :).

I’ve already tried to add esp32_display_panel as a dependency to micropython (ports/esp32) - which seems to work, however it does not show up in menuconfig. I’ve also tried to add it to ports/esp32/main_es32s3 - where menuconfig does not work at all.

Then I tried to build esp32_display_panel, esp-lib-utils and esp32_io_expander via USER_C_MODULES, which compiles but board.init() fails as there seems to be no default board configuration. Just adding my own BoardConfig to esp_panel_mp_board.cpp does also not work (board.init() works, but board.begin() crashes as somehow deep inside the esp_panel_board.cpp lcd_device->getBus() returns null and gets dereferenced).
I also tried to use the board configuration from the board_dynamic_config but ended up with missing macros (ILI9341 is undeclared and cannot be used to define ESP_PANEL_BOARD_LCD_CONTROLLER).

Without at least a basic idea how it’s supposed to work I guess I'm stuck too.

After several hours of struggling, I'm now ready to give up on MicroPython and switch to ESP-IDF.

Hi @h3clikejava @tsteinruecken ,

This library can support compilation in a USER_C_MODULES way, but it does not yet provide a complete Python interface and functions, so there is no corresponding documentation introduction, and Python functions need to be improved in the future.

@tsteinruecken Your approach is close to success. For the problem of "no default board configuration", you can refer to here for configuration through configuration files. For the problem of "ILI9341 is undeclared", you need to enable the ESP_PANEL_DRIVERS_LCD_USE_ILI9341 or ESP_PANEL_DRIVERS_LCD_USE_ALL macro in esp_panel_drivers_conf.h, because they are disabled by default for reducing code occupancy under dynamic configuration.
