Especificacions

Contingut del paquet:

• 1 x LILYGO® T-Energy-S3 Development Board
• 2 x 1*20p 2.54 Pin Headers

Configuració

Before you begin, ensure you have the necessary development environment set up on your computer (e.g., Arduino IDE, VS Code with PlatformIO, or ESP-IDF).

Diagrama de fixació:

Connexió inicial:

1. Install Pin Headers: Solder the provided 1*20p 2.54 pin headers to the board if you intend to use it on a breadboard or with jumper wires.
2. Font d'alimentació:
   • USB-C: Connect the board to your computer using a USB-C cable. This will power the board and allow for programming.
   • 18650 Bateria: Insert a compatible 18650 battery into the battery holder on the back of the board. Ensure correct polarity; the board has reverse polarity protection. The charging chip will manage battery charging when connected via USB-C.
3. Instal·lació del controlador: Your operating system may automatically install necessary USB-to-serial drivers. If not, you might need to manually install drivers for the USB-to-serial chip (often CP210x or CH340, though specific to the board's revision).
4. Entorn de desenvolupament: Configure your chosen IDE (Arduino IDE, VS Code, ESP-IDF) to recognize the ESP32-S3 board. Refer to the official ESP-IDF documentation or LILYGO's GitHub for specific board support packages and setup guides.

Instruccions de funcionament

Programming the Board:

1. Connectar: Ensure the T-Energy-S3 board is connected to your computer via USB-C.
2. Selecciona la junta: In your IDE, select the appropriate ESP32-S3 board model.
3. Seleccioneu el port: Choose the correct serial port corresponding to your connected board.
4. Upload Code: Write or load your desired code (sketch) and upload it to the board. The board typically enters programming mode automatically. If not, you may need to manually press the BOOT button while pressing and releasing the RST button.

Using the 18650 Battery Holder:

The integrated 18650 battery holder allows for standalone operation. When a battery is inserted and the board is powered via USB-C, the HX6610S charging chip will charge the battery. The board can also run solely on battery power when disconnected from USB.

Onboard Switch:

The board features an ON/OFF switch. Use this switch to power the board on or off, especially when operating on battery power, to conserve energy.

Manteniment

• Emmagatzematge: Guardeu la placa en un entorn sec i antiestàtic quan no la feu servir.
• Neteja: Use a soft, dry brush or compressed air to remove dust. Avoid using liquids or harsh chemicals.
• Manipulació: Handle the board by its edges to avoid touching components, especially the ESP32-S3 module, to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage.
• Cura de la bateria: If using an 18650 battery, ensure it is a high-quality cell and follow standard battery safety guidelines. Do not overcharge or deep discharge the battery.

Resolució de problemes

• La placa no s'encén:
  • Check USB-C cable connection and power source.
  • Assegureu-vos que l'interruptor ON/OFF estigui a la posició 'ON'.
  • If using an 18650 battery, verify it is charged and correctly inserted.
• Errors de càrrega:
  • Verify correct board and serial port selection in your IDE.
  • Ensure USB-to-serial drivers are properly installed.
  • Try manually putting the board into bootloader mode (hold BOOT, press and release RST, then release BOOT).
  • Check for syntax errors in your code.
• Problemes de connectivitat Wi-Fi/Bluetooth:
  • Ensure your code correctly initializes and configures the Wi-Fi/Bluetooth module.
  • Check antenna connections if an external antenna is used (though this board has an onboard antenna).
  • Verificar l'estabilitat del subministrament elèctric.
• Qwiic 4-Pin Not Working:
  • Ensure correct wiring and I2C address for the connected Qwiic module.
  • Verify that the Qwiic library is correctly included in your project.
