ESP32 S3 with Huge 7" Display (1024x600) 

I already see it as a spaceship style command center for a smart home. One quarter for A/C control, one for monitoring, one for light control, and one doing a cool animation like you already have. ESP32 are great. 😊

Beautiful mate! I have so many touchscreens and only just managed to get one to work past weekend. It uses the XPT2046 chip and it was the first time I was able to make a couple of buttons. My experience in coding is really bad but thanks to your videos, I’m progressing fast!

I can see this being used as the main console for a monitoring system, displaying the status of a NAS, 3D printers, various sensors with the ability to zoom in on details.

Awesome work on your videos!. For the huge 7" display, I think it would make a great bed-side accessory. We can make it sync with your calendar, give you the weather conditions, act as a media controller. If we could find a way to program it with a more noob friendly language like micropython or something. I remember having a pebble watch, you could write apps for it in javascript and load them to the watch. Would be cool if we could make something like that for the side table.

Would make a great display for my weather station...

I didn't know that esp32 could handle this much resolution

your UI designs are incredible!

It can be used to show ernergy prices, weather forecast, actual rain gauge information, in/out temp, in/out humidity and pressure etc. 🙂

Do you think you could get it to work with home assistant as a dashboard?

Thanks friend, I'm from Brazil. I recently bought a similar screen, but 2.8 inches to start, I'm new to Arduino and programming, I don't know anything

Looks pretty responsive. The S3 chip must help because i have a small touch screen original esp32 and it is very slow.

Great video! Your youtube channel inspired me to try my hand at working with displays. But I have a question: What program do you use for designing the GUI on your projects? I am trying for some time to find a good one...

Volos I just discovered you, and my man you know your sh*t! Thank you for all your videos!

All I can see is nice dashboard for Home assistant 😁

ASMR Gold! The Unintentional ASMR Channel must see this!

Great work, very interesting product, and excellent video! I think I will be getting at least one of these.

Brilliant, like always - too complex for me to comprehend fully, but amazing insight anyways.

I used a similar board/display for a 3d printed mini TV streaming the first six seasons of the simpsons. Preaty cool

Wow - Fantastic

I think it is a nice ESP for a Thermostat with a Calender (week) with two Sensor (Room temperatur and floor temperatur), maybe with a Web interface.

I love to watch your great programing instructions and fantastic display layouts. Than i get exited and think about usability. and than I get frustrated. Really frustrated. Because I cannot come up with an idea how to make use of it. I read the commentaries, one mentioned iot home control, that did sound nice at the beginning, but than thinking about it, it made absolutely no sense. One would always use a raspberry pi server or mini pc for such a thing, because home iot grows constantly and runs some comprehensive software. Another one mentioned oscilloscope usage, but honestly, an esp is way to small and slow for it and reliable products are quite affordable. My idea for the keypad was a keypad door opener, but than, how much work would it be to embed the device waterproof into a case and add components like power supply, ripple filter and relay or transistors to work properly with the actuator. So buying a reliable unit on the market makes again more sense. Than I thought, what makes kids exited, certainly no lame game when their celular can do it all. I guess professional developer will love your displays and user interfaces, but than, they might themself have great programing skills and a big archive. So we are back with the amateur user. Maybe I am just not having enough fantasy.

Gorgeous

Really nice! The framebuffer is kept by the screen itself I guess? And if you want to work with the whole screen continuously what would the framerate be? I guess it will be fillrate limited.

We need to push esphome to support these boards/screens!

Hello, I would like to inquire if it is possible to install the WLED application directly on the WT32-SC01 Plus ESP32 display development board, allowing me to control the LEDs using the built-in display rather than relying on a mobile phone. Thank you.

I am always interested in ways to use displays like this for lab equipment.. Oscilloscopes, Spectrum analyzers(0 to 5GHz), PWM controlled power supplies, ... Since this has i2c, you can connect it to: a PCF8575 and get 16 GPIO ports a PCA9685 16 channel servo(PWM ports) for power supply control and ADS1115 for a ADC(although for high frequency applications, you need something better) I would really like to see something like this...

Fantastic

You find the coolest projects! I wonder if I can use this as a status screen for a remote control device...there are so many possibilities for something like this.

Honestly thinking about using it to gamify my kids chores 😂

Amazing video! I'm wondering now where I can use it :D

Interesting. Can you tell me, how long will it take for the battery in the video to run out?

Great work there, would be good for device controller in the house or a desktop live calendar

Love your work! But having a problem with this one. Complies just fine (no errors), but nothing on screen. Sketch uses (14%) of program storage space, Global variables use 20392 bytes (6%) of dynamic memory. Any ideas as to what I maybe doing wrong?

that would be a nice screen for a version of jhewitt's wardriving and an esp32 marauder.

Nice thing. Thanks for the info

Very good video with an nice code example. Did you tried to power it without battery and with what amperage/current ?

Are there sample around to use VSCode and PlatformIO ? That would make my testing much easier. Regards Rob Oudendijk

Hi Volos, why did you use LovyanGFX instead TFT_eSPI? I'm asking becouse I have a 5" display with a driver not supported from TFT_eSPI. It is possible that it is supported from LovyanGFX? If i remeber well it is possible to move from TFT_eSPI to LovyanGFX smootly since the use the same name for each function. Isn't it? Thank for your work, great as usual.

Does it have an oscillator on the PCB (ie real time provided), or some sort of RTC ?). Without that you need to manually enter time at each reboot, or have a permanent access to internet (NTP server).

Is ther not a new ESP32 board version that is faster and have much more space 🤔 I have seen a couple weeks ago something about it. This display would be awesome for a clock or as a inventory display on a storage box ect. 🤗

Would be awesome to use it as a clock, calendar, weather display station.

Nice project!!. I have question as I'm not super experience. If I want to have Arduino board communicating with this screen what would be best approach to this ?

Hi - what is the custom font that you used for this project. I see in github it is just called small_font. What is the actual font? Thanks

Would it be fast enought for an Audio Spectrum analyzer? Say using only 2 quarters of the screen and the rest for more static elements?

Could this be used with JTAG for debugging in VSCode as it seems to have two serial ports

Hello Rose!

That looks really awesome!

A crypto ticker will be nice on this size of screen and easy to code I believe

where are the ports for the I/O? can you still use the esp32 controller

Very nice display. I wish somebody would give me one.

i wish it had all of the GPIO pins bought out so that the user can use them for other things. very cool otherwise though.

Oh I've got some ideas for that...

Bought one!

I guess this would work OK as a home assistant controller?

Is this BETTER to program than a stupid iPAD? I know Apple makes it terribly tough for any home-programmer to program their Apple stuff. What languages and libraries can be used?

would this code work with the elecrow esp32 7" display without modifications?

I can't run it. I receive many many errors. Can you provide a video and list with links for the correct library?

cool, but it cost more than low-cost 7inch tablet

Can we use this as a reciever device from ordinary esp32 using esp now communication protocol

Can we connect bigger screens

Could be used to make a phone

But no breakout pins, for like spi. So we can’t make it into anything. Just junk

that chip has too less power and memory to handle more stuff on that display. probably takes like 99% of it's memory better use cheaper risc-v 64 devices

1024x600 is too big for ESP32, easy to mis-lead Pi zero + pygame is better

The lcd interface is rgb communication, so, the esp32-s3 need to send all pixels all the time at x hertz, even if the frame buffer doesn't change. it is impressive what this chip can do. i am wrong ?
