# ESP32-S3 Dashboard Firmware
This is the placeholder for the current dashboard firmware direction.
## Target hardware
Current dashboard target:
- Waveshare ESP32-S3 touchscreen display
- WiFi connection to the Cargo ESP32 access point
- HTTP/REST communication with the Cargo ESP32 API
- Future LVGL-based dashboard UI
## Responsibilities
The ESP32-S3 dashboard is responsible for:
- Touchscreen UI
- Vehicle gauges
- Dashboard rendering
- Future CAN/OBD-II vehicle visualization
- Future tilt/roll/off-road screen visualization
## Not responsible for
The ESP32-S3 dashboard does not own:
- Relay authority
- BMS authority
- Alarm authority
- Cargo ESP configuration storage
- Load-switching hardware control as the source of truth
The Cargo ESP32 remains the power-system controller and source of truth.
## v1 communication path
Dashboard ESP32-S3
<-> WiFi / HTTP REST
Cargo ESP32 AP
Not v1 dashboard communication:
- Pico UART
- ESP-NOW
- MQTT
- CAN between controllers
## Selected Hardware
The selected dashboard hardware target is:
Waveshare ESP32-S3 Touch LCD 5B
Display details:
- 5-inch touchscreen
- 1024x600 resolution
- Capacitive touch
- ESP32-S3 platform
- Native WiFi
- Integrated CAN transceiver available for future vehicle integration
This is the current active dashboard target. The archived Pico dashboard is not active firmware.
## Bring-Up Plan
Initial Waveshare ESP32-S3 Touch LCD 5B work should start with standalone bench testing.
Bring-up order:
1. Confirm USB/serial detection.
2. Flash a known-good Waveshare demo.
3. Confirm 1024x600 display output.
4. Confirm capacitive touch input.
5. Build a minimal project dashboard boot screen.
6. Connect to Cargo ESP WiFi AP.
7. Read `/api/v1/status` and `/api/v1/config`.
8. Render outputs dynamically from the Cargo ESP API.
Do not start with CAN, OBD-II, tilt sensors, or vehicle wiring.
