Thank you, that is very helpful to understanding the display - with this sequence and reading the ILI9488 specification, I now know so much more than when I started - not that I really wanted to learn more - I just want to use your tester firmware! Still, it means one day I might blow out the...

Further to the issue of the IPS, I am advised that the YMKJ Store is via the Aliexpress warehouse for the product. The warehouse can pick the wrong item and send an IPS version instead of a TFT version of the display. To order the TFT version directly from the supplier and not via Aliexpress...

So I have got to the bottom of the issue with the TFT screen. They have two types - one is IPS that comes with the white background, the other is as you normally receive - black background. The wrong one has an IPS sticker on the back - see photo. The challenge I think is for them to send the...

Thank you. I hope you might be able to code for dealing with inverse screens in future updates - it would be good not to have an orphan branch to cover future changes/ improvements you might make. It seems it might be getting potluck to have people get TFTs now that don't have "quirks" 🙃 I...

So progress - have finished putting the control unit together. Next is to start on the sensors and lasers setup... Such a great system...

Have flashed the new firmware. Thank you for a quick update! You are amazing!! Here are photos of the result. It all seems ok - so is the TFT ok to keep?

Thank you. Will try in the next hour or so.

Hi, so I sent a message to request an authorisation code. My TFT is a white background and not black - have I done something wrong? Very hard to see the yellow writing. I checked the wiring several times, and it appears to be correct. Please let me know. Regards

Thank you. I hope to start putting it together this weekend (sans 3D parts) - at least the control part. To get the code, I don't need to build all the sensor component - just the TFT, ESP, switches and rotary encoder?

LOL! Yes LOL!! The only one I could see was a 6x6. However, it looks like I am a day late to buy the enlarger as I have just been told it sold last night! The universe must be telling me something!

Yes, I saw your collection earlier and thought that was great to have. Trying to find the 35mm version of the carrier - I might be a little slow!! Being 72 doesn't help!!! LOL!!

Thanks - thats a possibility. I'm chasing an original one someone advised me of, but if that fails, this might work if I can find a local 3D printer person to modify to 35mm

I got confused - I thought it was a forum public post in my excitement!!! All solved!! Damn newbies!!!!

Thank you. My parts arrived today - just checking on the ESP-32 that I was sent - it's an ESP-32D - photo attached. I ordered the CP2102 version - but there is no marking on the chip, so not sure what it is. IT was the link in parts from a builder who said it worked. Will this be ok and work...

So, I have now confirmed it has a 6x7 condenser, but the issue is it doesn't have a 35mm negative carrier. So its useless to me as 35mm negative carriers are like hens teeth - and if available are wildly priced. So it is off my buy list. Thank you to everyone who has given me advice. Damn!!!
