# CST816 Example This example shows how to use the CST816 touch controller with ESP32. It is designed to run on a [Matouch Rotary Display](https://wiki.makerfabs.com/MaTouch_ESP32_S3_Rotary_IPS_Display_1.28_GC9A01.html). ## How to use example ### Hardware Required The [Matouch Rotary Display](https://wiki.makerfabs.com/MaTouch_ESP32_S3_Rotary_IPS_Display_1.28_GC9A01.html) is required for this example. If you have other hardware with CST816, you can run menuconfig, and select the `HARDWARE_CUSTOM` option. and then select which pins are connected to the CST816. ### Configure ``` idf.py menuconfig ``` Set the hardware configuration for the example. ### Build and Flash Build the project and flash it to the board, then run monitor tool to view serial output: ``` idf.py -p PORT flash monitor ``` (Replace PORT with the name of the serial port to use.) (To exit the serial monitor, type ``Ctrl-]``.) See the Getting Started Guide for full steps to configure and use ESP-IDF to build projects. ## Example Output 
To create a project from this example, run:
idf.py create-project-from-example "espp/cst816=0.21.0:example"
