Cheap and Easy to Use ESP32 Screen!
Рет қаралды 133,657
Күн бұрынThere is an ESP32 with a built in 320 x 240 LCD display with a touch screen called the "ESP32-2432S028R", since this doesn't roll of the tongue, I propose it should be renamed the "Cheap Yellow Display" or CYD for short. This display is only about $15 delivered so I think it's really good value. It's my favorite device to build projects with at the moment!

The noise you hear at the end of the sound clips with the "Yes/No" machine is likely caused by cutting the audio abruptly when the waveform's amplitude isn't at zero. In simpler terms, if the sound wave is stopped suddenly instead of naturally trailing off to silence, it creates a sharp, unnatural 'click' sound. This happens because the speaker is forced to abruptly stop vibrating. To avoid this, audio clips should ideally end at a point where the sound naturally fades to silence, or 'zero amplitude'. You can fade clips with audio software and most software does this automatically too. You could even fix it on the software side too when playing clips.

Good suggestion but I've already padded the files with some silence at the end and the same issue happens

All of this is just a piece of the larger puzzle to use boards like these for projects. Thanks for checking in.

Here's my current project: It's an Esp32 (Adafruit Matrixportal S3) board driving a 64x64 LED matrix. It connects to WIFI and BLTE, so I can control it with an app I built on my android using MIT app inventor. I plan to put it on my desk at work to tell me the weather, time, sports, etc. It will also have a few games (maybe multiplayer) that I can play if I am bored and need a quick break. Overall it cost nearly $100. This "Cheap Yellow Display" seems to have all the same capabilities with no wiring or loose parts, at a fraction of the cost. The matrixportal board seems to really have trouble booting properly, so I may switch to the CYD! Even if I don't, I may use it to make a version I can give to friends. Great recommendation

I've been testing one, and it seems the display doesn't offer the best viewing angles. While it's an improvement from the cheap ILI9341 TFTs of 10 years ago, it still falls short compared to the cheap IPS displays we're accustomed to nowadays. I'd venture to guess it's a TFT TN panel. The touchscreen isn't as responsive or accurate as other cheap displays.

Thanks for sharing your CYD info. I'm looking to use one for a lathe electronic leadscrew/pseudo CNC controller so I don't need to worry about buttons etc. What I'll need is a lot more available IO, preferably at 5V (stepper driver interface, 0-5V spindle speed controller, 5V NPN rotary encoder inputs etc). Is there a 5VDC IO expansion board that anyone has used? Thinking the SPI interface should be quick enough (encoder max frequency is 100kHz). The other option would be to use this as the interface and use a serial connection to an another MCU to do the realtime control, but that seems quite a waste when the ESP32 should be more than powerful enough.

@@BrianLough I got two of the 7" capacitive boards, because i was planning to make a meter and tracking device to mount it on a wall, for my diy solar power installation. It's supposed to track all the parameters like solar cell voltages, input current and power, battery status and energy consumption. Then display everything on the screen, control settings and stream the data onto a server with an elasticsearch database to be able to create dashboards for the recorded data. Too get the data I'm using some additional devices and wanted to wire them up via some serial communication (probably i2c). Unfortunately I didn't have the time to do any serious work with the screens, yet, but i experimented with the boards and had some success to output something on the screen and use the touch functionality of the screen. On my screens I noticed that the label of one pin was incorrectly written on the boards silk screen (the pin marked as "IO18" was actually "IO19"). I'm not sure if my boards are exactly the same as the one shown in the video, though.
