Hi,
I'm trying to use a Lilygo TTGO T-display v.1.1 connected to I2C temp and hum sensors (BME280 and SHT3x) and a RTC DS3231 ( since WiFi isn't available where the device is supposed to work) in order to create a datalogger (already working with OLED and E-ink displays) but while one month ago I succeeded in this project, a couple of days ago when I picked up the project again without having made any changes to the HW (it's on breadboard) I've encountered a strange behaviour (at list for me, a newbie)
I followed the suggestions of this tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFVjsxFMbSM&t=0s where this board is identified in Arduino IDE as TTGO LoRa32 with TFT_eSPI User_Setup_Select.h defined as <User_Setups/Setup25_TTGO_T_Display.h>
I'm using Arduino IDE 2.2.1 and W11 and in order to upload the code I have to press the GPIO0 button when in serial monitor appears “Connecting….”
However, now the board enters into an endless loop and the screen is blank
I tried also to upload the example TFT.clock.ino from TFT_eSPI library and also a very simple sketch such as the following one
#include <TFT_eSPI.h>
#include<SPI.h>
TFT_eSPI tft = TFT_eSPI();
void setup() {
tft.init();
tft.fillScreen(TFT_RED);
}
void loop()
{
}
but I always get the same error and this happens also if I define the board as ESP32 Dev Module
On the contrary, if I define the board as ESP32Dev AND I try another example which includes the Adafruit_7789 library but NOT the TFT_eSPI the board works fine

Sorry for the maybe trivial question but I'm a newbie and I was not able to find info on this strange behaviour.
Furthermore I'd like to use also for this board the Bodmer's TFT_eSPI library since I've already used it for ILI9341 and ST7735.
Thanks in advance for your help
