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!

Bluetooth HID using just an ESP32 (inc Bluetooth macro keypad)
Mine just arrived on Friday. Weather has sucked since so I'm not set up yet, but I got out for me 83yo mother so's she doesn't have to fuck about with her yard anymore. The only add-on I got was the "find my landroid" gps middle that connects to the cellular data network. I'm in a low crime area, but low isn't no. So it was what I consider a smart buy in a collection of smart buys I'm kind of excited about it. I'm going to be 11 years old forever😂 Soon, it will be time to unleash Lisa the Landroid! (Mom likes alliteration, lol)
Can this be used to make a wired mouse wireless? No idea how to translate USB to HC-05's serial.
Brian impressed by your various videos. Got telegram going on esp32. Do you know how to send a telegram message from one esp32 to another esp32?
Gaming buttons? I suppose that would be a BLE game controller.
As interested as I am in a robot mower, i have a front, side and back lawn. All separated from one another. Guessing I'd need 3 lots of wires at least, if not 3 docks depends where I've left it?
Yeah that sounds like that would be the case. There are some very cheap mowers available depending on where you are. I bought one for my front lawn since this video for €300, but even Lidl have sold 500m2 mowers for €200 here in Ireland!
@BrianLough I'm in England so probably able to get the same deals in GBP. I'll keep an eye on Aldi as it's only round the corner.

I just ordered one of these and some sensors, hoping to display current room temp/humidity with a button to turn on and off our wifi enabled window ac unit. Still 3 weeks out for me from aliexpress.
Hi. I'm trying to make the ESP32 Bluetooth that you posted on UA-cam, but I'm a total layman and I can't understand it. Would you have the sketch ready to download to the ESP32, .ino file? Would you mind sharing it?

My guy- you try the esp32 2 antenna chip? It kinda looks like a svg of a tshirt graphic...with 1 pcb antenna angled 1 way and another angled the other.... Send receive data at the same time? Wish the pcb style antennas could always include external antenna connectors always...not sure the hype of just pcb antenna...i guess small/ compact form factor....meh Ps: your discord link in your youtube bio is broken....

i've seen a few videos like this and feel compelled to ask. what does the "inc" in the title mean?
First of all, thank you very much for the dropdown menu tutorial. I copied and pasted your code, and it worked perfectly. But, I got some issues when I added 3 more options. Though I had to increase the array size to avoid crashing. But it didn't work. End up crashing and used the exception decoder. It shows the issue is in the following line ```if (!wm.autoConnect("WifiTetris", "clock123"))``` Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again.

lets all collaborate! ... and then he produced no more videos
Do I need to make videos for people to collaborate? The community has expanded and grown the project a lot since this video so it seems to be going ok!
@@BrianLough Well you did mention doing more videos and the entry point for some of your audience is youtube. Many are visual learners and interested seeing something done first hand before attempting it themselves. Upto you, just my unsolicited 2 cents.
Awesome Brian! I have creating a login switch box and username and password set up for systems that require this all day long, using the Micro. I was using only the keyboard.h library for printing text and wiring up my little boxes with momentary push buttons. I like this plug and play keypad version! Will save me time and money! I have the code for making requirements so it doesn't get stuck in a loop. I am trying to figure out how to add a Control alt delete, then return function to the code I already have. The code does the following with 1 button press: types in a username, tabs to password bar and types in the password and then returns. I am not quit sure how to add the control alt delete then return to this same button function. Would be happy to share what I have for the keyboard.print to get any suggestions. Thanks again for this video!!!
My BIOS has WoL. I can also set the Power settings to magic packet only. But under advanced -> Property I can no find Wake on Magic Packet. Is there a way to fix this?
For the life of me, I can't get code to push to the device. I fineally got it to recognize in Arduino IDE, but I keep getting: Error: unable to open ftdi device with description '*', serial '*' at bus location '*'
I wonder if you can find a kit to buy online ? Will be awesome.
If you're a nerd, and don't have at least one 'CYD,' you should have your 'Nerd Card' revoked. You're just not worthy. I have two, for now, so I'm good.

Thank you for your helpful video! I was wondering where does the WiFiManager save the SSID and password. Did you come across this case?
It gets saved to flash memory of the esp32. I don't think wifi manager actually saves it though, I believe the esp32 does this regardless of wifi manager, and wifi manager just makes use of this
As of: 4th May 2024 ... This entire walkthrough for WOL using D1 mini works a treat AND using JSON V7 (even though the readme states V5 and not V6). All compiled absoutely fine and uploaded. Telegram worked straight away. THANK YOU!!!! amazing tutorial :D
Any way to just hard code the trinity shield? Wifi Manager is buggy at best.
Finally figured it out. Each time I signed in to wifi manager I had to change wifi carriers. For example, from Tmobile to Spectrum. If not, it would not save. And fyi, US/Eastern time zone will only work when entered as America/New_York. Like I said, BUGGY as hell.
WIFI MANAGER NOT SAVING INFO. TIME ZONE STUCK ON DUBLIN.
Thank you. All I gotta say
I was working with a large json response and was able to reduce that by using filtering. Thank you! I appreciate your help.
great video thank you, i saw a pull button, can we use it to pull the repository (multiple if exist) into local storage, and can we automate the process.
Could this project ben modified so that the esp is an access point and you don't need a router to link the phone to the esp?
This project is very old now so could be out of date, but you could definitely do what your talking about
Can you drive the mower just like a rc mower, using app?
No, unfortunately!
Thank you, Brian!
Thank you for your video. I want to create a clock that indicates my 3 year old daughter's blood sugar levels. There is Tidbyt which offers this but it costs too much, $199. I bought the 64x64 & 64x32 screen and 2 ESP32 cards, one for a fun clock and the second for displaying blood sugar. Do you think it is possible to use the nightscout clock for ESP32? that would be great. Thanks
Can you get access to your daughter blood sugar through an API?
@@BrianLough yes, Abbott freestyle libre.
