Entretien

Un entretien approprié garantit la longévité et le fonctionnement fiable de votre carte de développement :

  • Nettoyage: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the board and display. Avoid liquid cleaners or abrasive materials.
  • Stockage: Store the board in a dry, anti-static environment when not in use. Avoid extreme temperatures and humidity.
  • Manutention: Manipulez la carte par ses bords pour éviter tout contact avec les composants sensibles. L'électricité statique peut endommager les composants électroniques.
  • Mises à jour du micrologiciel : Regularly check the Waveshare official website or product wiki for firmware updates or new library versions to ensure optimal performance and access to new features.

Dépannage

En cas de problème, veuillez suivre les étapes de dépannage suivantes :

  • Carte non détectée :
    • Ensure the USB Type-C cable is securely connected to both the board and your computer.
    • Verify that the CH343P USB-to-UART driver is correctly installed.
    • Essayez un autre port USB ou un autre câble.
  • Program Upload Fails:
    • Vérifiez si le port COM correct est sélectionné dans votre IDE.
    • Ensure the correct board type (ESP32-S3) is selected.
    • Press and hold the BOOT button, then press and release the RESET button, then release the BOOT button to enter download mode before uploading.
  • L'affichage ne fonctionne pas :
    • Verify that your code initializes the display correctly.
    • Check for any loose connections if external display components were used (not applicable for the integrated display).
  • Problèmes de connectivité Wi-Fi/Bluetooth :
    • Ensure your code correctly configures Wi-Fi or Bluetooth parameters (SSID, password, etc.).
    • Vérifiez la présence d'interférences provenant d'autres appareils fonctionnant sur la bande 2.4 GHz.
