![]() ![]() I have made some effort to rewrite the PDQ test that can run in 4 libraries. I have chosen TFT_eSPI PDQ test for this comparison. The display speed is one of the most important thing we consider to select which library. The above picture is the hardware support list for each library. I have picked 4 of most popular Arduino library for comparison: There are many display libraries that can support various hardware. Here are some project I am using ILI9341: If you are using a 5V dev board like Arduino Nano, every I/O line should insert a 2.2K resistor in the middle. Note: This display is not 5V I/O tolerant. It is also easy to find a plain LCD without breakout board in the market. If you are designing to buy your first LCD, a ILI9341 breakout board is a good choice. You can find many projects in GitHub using this. Some breakout board also built-in touch screen feature. In most case it is 240x320 resolution and have many screen size from 1.7" to 3.5". I think ILI9341 is the most popular LCD driver chip in the hobby electronics market. Let's start hardware listing from the color display in my drawer. I am also writing a new library called Arduino_GFX since 2019. LovyanGFX library start appear at 2019, it support many dev device such as M5Stack, M5StickC, TTGO T-Watch, ODROID-GO, ESP-WROVER-KIT, WioTerminal and more. Ucglib and UTFT-ESP run a little bit slow but it support many hardware and it is a popular library, you can find many Arduino projects using it. TFT_eSPI library have better performance but configuration require make changes in the library folder. But since ESP-IDF did not have too much display library and not much display hardware supported, so I will concentrate on Arduino display libraries only.įor the beginner, I think buying adafruit, or similar supportive vendor, hardware and using its Arduino library can have good seamless experience (though I have no budget to try it all). You can develop ESP32 program with Arduino IDE or direct use ESP-IDF. Software support on the other side also influence your selection. LCD in most case can direct operate in 3.3 V, the same operating voltage as ESP32, so you can consider not use break out board to make a slimmer product. Color OLED operate in 14 V, it means you need a dedicate step-up circuit, but it is not a problem if you simply use with a break-out board. OLED have more power efficient for each light up pixel but may have burn-in problems. LCD can have higher image density but OLED have better viewable angle, IPS LCD can have both. There are various color display for hobby electronics: LCD, IPS LCD, OLED with different resolutions and different driver chips. You should see the SSID, RSSI, WiFi channel, and encryption for each discovered network.There are 2 parts to be considered while selecting a color display for ESP32. Once you have uploaded the sketch, open the serial monitor at baud rate 115200 and press the EN button on the ESP32. Delete the scan result to free memory for code below. Print SSID and RSSI for each network found println( "Nr | SSID | RSSI | CH | Encryption") WiFi.scanNetworks will return the number of networks found. Set WiFi to station mode and disconnect from an AP if it was previously connected. ![]() The ESP32-CAM, on the other hand, lacks an onboard USB-to-serial converter and requires a separate module. Depending on the design, you may need to install additional drivers for your USB-to-serial converter before you are able to upload code to your ESP32.įor example, the ESP32 DevKit V1 uses the CP2102 to convert USB signals to UART signals, whereas the WeMos ESP32 Lite uses the CH340G. ![]() There are numerous ESP32-based development boards available. Latest Arduino IDE Step 2: Installing the USB-to-Serial Bridge Driver If you haven’t already, we recommend that you do so right away. ![]() The first step in installing the ESP32 Arduino core is to have the latest version of the Arduino IDE installed on your computer. Step 1: Installing or Updating the Arduino IDE Some development boards require the installation of an additional core therefore, Arduino developed the Boards Manager as a tool to add cores to the Arduino IDE.įor more information on how to use the Arduino IDE Boards Manager, check out their tutorial. Arduino develops the cores for the microcontrollers (Atmel AVR MCUs) used on their boards, but anyone can develop a core for their own boards as long as they follow the rules and requirements set by Arduino. The cores are required to make new microcontrollers compatible with your Arduino IDE as well as existing sketches and libraries. ![]()
