Cheap and Easy to Use ESP32 Screen!

There 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!

I received my ESP32 CYD and have been going through many of the samples you provided. Everything has been great. I look forward to further exploring this exciting little board. I like that the ESP32 is included on the display, SD, and will be experimenting with the various connections. I be checking out the progress on Discord. Thank you!

@afipdjh 7 месяцев назад

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.

@BrianLough 6 месяцев назад

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

@2DarkDreams 7 дней назад

How is it going? Is code still daunting for you to edit?

@FirstTry379 4 дня назад

@@2DarkDreamsGoing slow. I invest a few hours at a time when I can make progress toward comprehension of the code structure alone. I wanted to use Squareline studio to create UI. I have struggled with issues on several different esp32 board/screen platforms trying to get that to work. I saw just today that someone has created a template to use for the CYD board that should include the correct drivers for the screen and touch. If that works, I could be on my way. All of this is just a piece of the larger puzzle to use boards like these for projects. Thanks for checking in.

@natejack2292 8 месяцев назад

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

That is a cool video about a useful solution of controlling projects. Do you plan on doing a video about the graphic design for the CYD? How to place the buttons and how to use??

@OwenMyhill 3 месяца назад

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.

@AndyTanguay 8 месяцев назад

Too cool! I grabbed one for a 3D printer project and grabbed an extra one since they seem so cool. Looks like it’s going to turn into a little arcade machine. Is there a difference if mine doesn’t have an R at the end.

@BrianLough 7 месяцев назад

Someone on my discord posted his yaml for a thermostat the other day, I'm sure it would be a good nudge in the right direction! I have my central heating zoned and recently set up HA to try to be a bit smarter about it. So this type of device is on my to-do list too! Edit: sorry you said esp-now, not esp-home!

Could you please tell me if the code is available for the program loaded on the CYD when you first start it up? I think it would have some great code to see how to develop nice buttons switches etc on screen.

@SaettaJ 4 месяца назад

Hi, first of all I would like to thank you for the video and all the documentation you put online, thank you. I would like to ask you since I have only been programming for a few months, can I use this display connected to Arduino? If so, how is it configured? do I have to upload a sketch to Arduino and one to esp32? Is it possible to just sketch on the Arduino and use the display like you do for the LCD? Thank you

@EDUKATIKATEACHING 7 дней назад

Congratulations! Your video is very informative. I made the mistake of buying an ESP32-2432S022 model and the link to the examples doesn't work properly in the ARDUINO IDE. I found an example for VSCODE that worked, but it's frustrating to see so many interesting things for sale that don't work as they should or don't have the information they should. Hugs!

How useable would this be for playing video dynamically? I want something I can throw outside a 3D printer as a secondary screen for context sensitive animations to play. Could I stream video over wifi, or would having everything stored on the SD card be better? Was looking at a Knomi, but this is a better price point, and slightly more functional.

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.
