## Add to project
Packages from this repository are uploaded to [Espressif's component service](https://components.espressif.com/).
You can add them to your project via `idf.py add-dependancy`, e.g.
```
idf.py add-dependency esp_lcd_gc9503==1.0.0
```
Alternatively, you can create `idf_component.yml`. More is in [Espressif's documentation](https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/latest/esp32/api-guides/tools/idf-component-manager.html).
## Example use
Create 3-wire SPI panel IO using [esp_lcd_panel_io_additions](https://components.espressif.com/components/espressif/esp_lcd_panel_io_additions) component.
```
spi_line_config_t line_config = {
.cs_io_type = IO_TYPE_EXPANDER,
.cs_expander_pin = BSP_LCD_SPI_CS,
.scl_io_type = IO_TYPE_EXPANDER,
.scl_expander_pin = BSP_LCD_SPI_SCK,
.sda_io_type = IO_TYPE_EXPANDER,
.sda_expander_pin = BSP_LCD_SPI_SDO,
.io_expander = expander_handle,
};
esp_lcd_panel_io_3wire_spi_config_t io_config = GC9503_PANEL_IO_3WIRE_SPI_CONFIG(line_config);
esp_lcd_panel_io_handle_t io_handle = NULL;
ESP_ERROR_CHECK(esp_lcd_new_panel_io_3wire_spi(&io_config, &io_handle));
```
Initialize GC9503 and create RGB panel.
```
esp_lcd_rgb_panel_config_t panel_conf = {
.clk_src = LCD_CLK_SRC_PLL160M,
.psram_trans_align = 64,
.data_width = 16,
.de_gpio_num = BSP_LCD_DE,
.pclk_gpio_num = BSP_LCD_PCLK,
.vsync_gpio_num = BSP_LCD_VSYNC,
.hsync_gpio_num = BSP_LCD_HSYNC,
.data_gpio_nums = {
BSP_LCD_DATA0,
BSP_LCD_DATA1,
BSP_LCD_DATA2,
BSP_LCD_DATA3,
BSP_LCD_DATA4,
BSP_LCD_DATA5,
BSP_LCD_DATA6,
BSP_LCD_DATA7,
BSP_LCD_DATA8,
BSP_LCD_DATA9,
BSP_LCD_DATA10,
BSP_LCD_DATA11,
BSP_LCD_DATA12,
BSP_LCD_DATA13,
BSP_LCD_DATA14,
BSP_LCD_DATA15,
},
.timings = GC9503_480_480_PANEL_60HZ_RGB_TIMING(),
.flags.fb_in_psram = 1,
};
esp_lcd_panel_handle_t panel_handle = NULL;
ESP_ERROR_CHECK(esp_lcd_new_panel_gc9503(io_handle, &panel_conf, &panel_handle));
```
Delete panel IO if it is no longer needed.
```
ESP_ERROR_CHECK(esp_lcd_panel_io_del(io_handle));
```
idf.py add-dependency "espressif/esp_lcd_gc9503^1.0.0"
