Upload Works, No display. (CYD ESP32)

Ive been troubleshooting for a while on this, i have no clue what im doing wrong and would love some help.

Im uploading a simple hello world program to my ESP32 and i can see its going through and uploading, but im getting no display.

This is what im using: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004502250619.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.5.2ef21802S6LXDj

ive installed everything i need. (i believe..) followed countless tutorials and read through every repo ive found.

Any ideas ? <3

Welcome to the forum!
That code does not look complete to me. Take a look at this

Ive added that code into a new project and added all libraries.
The light at the back is now green but still no display :frowning:

Looks like you might have to do something with the User_Setup.h file:

https://randomnerdtutorials.com/cheap-yellow-display-esp32-2432s028r/

It appears to be working fine.

I figured it out. I downloaded everything and in my preferences tab my sketchbook dir was pointing to the wrong folder.
I moved everything into one and pointed it to my main folder and it all works now :slight_smile:
Thank you everyone
