Source: https://mokxi.com/boards/ttgo-t-display Updated: 2026-10-26 Board # TTGO T-Display simulator, an ESP32 with a 1.14 inch screen LilyGO’s TTGO T-Display is a classic ESP32, of which one Xtensa LX6 core runs here, with a 1.14 inch 135x240 ST7789 screen and two buttons on the board. TFT_eSPI gets LilyGO’s setup with no file to install, the screen keeps its real offsets and its inverting glass, and WiFi joins a simulated network.

The model ## What is modeled Taken from the board's own contract document and put in plain words, with what is missing beside it. ### Modeled Core One Xtensa LX6 core, the DevKit V1 model whole GPIO The twenty-four header pins, numbered as the silkscreen numbers them The screen The ST7789 part at 135x240 on MOSI 19, SCLK 18, CS 5, DC 16, RST 23, backlight on GPIO 4 TFT_eSPI LilyGO’s Setup25_TTGO_T_Display.h built in, so a sketch that names no pins draws on the screen The buttons BUTTON1 on GPIO 35 with the board’s pull-up, and BUTTON2 on GPIO 0, which is BOOT ADC1 32, 33 and 36 to 39 WiFi, simulated WiFi.h over a network written in software: no radio, no 802.11, no real internet ### Not modeled - The battery connector and its charger. - The battery divider on GPIO 34, switched by GPIO 14. - The second core, ADC2, Bluetooth and a real radio. Start here ## Open one and press Run Each of these opens in the editor exactly as it is drawn here. Projects ## Every built-in project on the T-Display Each has its own page with the circuit running, the code and a parts list. - T-Display hello Beginner Learn ## Tutorials that use this board Each one ends in a running circuit, on this same board. - The T-Display pinout: the header, the screen and the buttons ## Questions Is it free? Yes. Every board and every part is on the free plan, with no account needed. Do I need to edit User_Setup_Select.h? Not here. If your sketch names no TFT pins, TFT_eSPI gets LilyGO’s setup: ST7789_DRIVER at 135x240, MOSI 19, SCLK 18, CS 5, DC 16, RST 23, backlight 4. On a real board you install that setup in the TFT_eSPI library folder by choosing Setup25_TTGO_T_Display.h. Why does my own driver draw in the wrong place, or in negative colors? The glass is a 135x240 window into memory from column 52 and row 40, and it is IPS, so it shows colors inverted until the driver sends INVON. TFT_eSPI handles both. A driver that does not is wrong here and on the board. Which pins are the buttons? BUTTON1 is GPIO 35 and BUTTON2 is GPIO 0, which is BOOT. Both read LOW while pressed. GPIO 35 has no pull of its own, so the board carries one. Also here ## The other boards Every one of these runs today, and every one is free.
