Hi everybody,
recently I disassembled a chinese smartwatch and I took its display. It's a XF015405 (don't know anything about it) and it has got 24 pins. How can I use it with an arduino/ESP32? Here is a picture of it.
Is that the part number for the display assembly? You need to identify the actual display driver chip as a starting point.
So I suppose that I won't be able to drive it directly from an arduino/esp32. And yes, it is the display number, not driver.
Doing so without a datasheet requires reverse engineering the display and connector, which would be a complete waste of anyone's time.
I searched for a datasheet on internet, but i couldn't find anything.
Are there any other displays with a datasheet, similar to the one I've got?
Search the web and decide. Adafruit offers a good selection of displays.
I can see what looks like that number on the flexi-cable. It's probably an assembly number.
We have no idea as we know nothing about the display.
The photo appears to show the rear of an LCD panel. You would need to know the pinout of the connector on the end of that flexi-cable. You would then need to find a driver chip that would support that panel. And that's just the start of the task that is in front of you.
If you need a display, then you would be better off getting one from a reputable supplier - Adafruit has already been mentioned, and they would offer support and driver libraries as well.
Ok, I was just trying to recover some electronics that would be otherwise thrown in the bin. I'll do some more research to find a suitable driver and I'll try to make a small pcb to drive the display.
Thanks everybody for the help.
