Just got my screen, exact the same one.

I don’t have any experience with arduino and was able to get it working in no time by following the dutch guide, previously posted bij @domotica-blog.nl.  
Maybe you need to check it again step-by-step?

In my case the result after verifying was:  
Sketch uses **2606549** bytes ( **82%** ) of program storage space. Maximum is **3145728** bytes.  
Global variables use 49932 bytes (15%) of dynamic memory, leaving 277748 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 327680 bytes.

Any update on this? Can you control Homey through the touchscreen?

> Regarding the battery, I installed a LiPo 1S 1500mAh with a JST 2.0 plug. Be careful, once the plug is in, it is very difficult to remove it, at least for me I did not find how to do it, even if I forced a little.

How long will last this battery? Do you use your screen constantly?  
I’d prefer the usb connection power, but as I can see with the case: I need to figure out how, because the plug is on the bottom.

Concerning the battery life, I would say about ten days with a refresh every 20 minutes. Concerning the continuous power supply, [try to go out by the back with this type of cable…](https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004279838351.html?spm=a2g0o.cart.0.0.c8f038da0ppuUa&mp=1)

I keep it in mind. First I need a case.

Does anybody have a good option to make one? In the Netherlands? I found a site and it calculated that I need to pay over 50 euros for a simple case… 🤯

The Lilygo i got has a USB port on one of the shorter sides, that way landscape is no problem. Perhaps try to get that type instead?

I also made a case for it if anyone is interested (3d printed).

My Lilygo T4 got stuck in a boot cycle. Keeps restarting. not accessible by homey or pc.

Is there a way to hard reset the Liligo or does anyone has an other solution?

Hello,  
I did not abandon the project.  
I took advantage of the return of the sun to do some work in the garden so the touchscreen part is on standby.  
I just need to know how solve this error to continue.

Hi,  
Is it possible to change the icon of a icon\_zone to show a weather icon?

As you can see in the photo the bottom two devices showing the generic weather icon. It would be nice if this icon will show the predicted weather forecast.  
Can this be done and how?

Hello,

Each icon has a defined size they are not resize by the display to show them.  
The weather icon on the top dont get the same size as the icon in zone.  
What you want is possible, but it would involve recreating the set of weather icons for display 4 and 6 devices.

I think yes because there are not differences described for use v3 or s3 in the [documentation](https://github.com/Xinyuan-LilyGO/LilyGo-EPD47)

The boards sizes are a little different, be sur the screens resolutions are the same.
