ESP32-S3 Support (Adafruit MatrixPortal S3)

[fitzy89]

I'm trying to load this on a Adafruit MatrixPortal S3 but when using the webserial method it tells me the S3 model isn't supported. What would be required to make it supported?

ESP32-S2 isnt supported either.

Would love to see ESP32-S3

Hi @fitzy89 ! Can you try to compile and upload targeting the ESP32-S3? It should be able to execute but the firmware was not compiled for them.

@Andrew93752, for ESP32-S2 is a little bit more difficult because the S2 has less resources, especially RAM memory that can be a challenge. In general terms, S2 is an upgraded version of ESP8266. But I would like to see what happens if you try to compile and upload as well.

Esp32-S3 works without problems with the esphome implementation. I added a example.yaml for esphome, which uses HD-WF2 (Esp32-S3 with 8mb Ram and no PSRam) as hardware. See https://github.com/aschoelzhorn/clockwise-esphome/tree/main/examples You just need to update the pin mapping to the default pins for Esp32-S3 used by the underlying hub75 library

For the S3, what if you just added the board type to the platform.ini file and uploaded? I don't have a S3 to test with.

This option would require compiling with vscode and not webserial. If you are new to vscode and platform.io what better time to learn :).
