Introduction

We've all encountered some problems, not working code or lack of support on our journey. With this gist I want to easy it for all the new enthusiasts.

Basic info

• Use Thonny IDE to upload firmware, files and your code to the microcontroller.

• Curated list of awesome MicroPython libraries, frameworks, software and resources

Nice boards with cool features and low price:

• FireBeetle 2 ESP32-E IoT Microcontroller (32M / 512KB, Supports Wi-Fi & Bluetooth)

• ESP32 C3 SuperMini

Sensors

Humidity and Temperature

• AHTX0 library (AHT10 & AHT20)

Audio

• MicroPython I2S Audio with the ESP32

Displays, text, fonts, GUI

• Modified and very good st7789_mpy library

• Easy to implement and configurable font system

• MicroPython font handling

• Basic GUI to run

! If your colors are weird, and not just inverted: Reverse RGB565 byte order, byte-swap the raw data that you pass to the display

TTGO T-Fisplay

• Good tutorial to set TTGO T-Display up with Micropython

• MicroPython_ESP32_psRAM_LoBo Good project, sadly it's not being developed anymore

Cheap Yellow Display

• CYD start tutorial

• Pinout

• Better pinout with images

• ESP32 Cheap Yellow Display Micropython LVGL Tutorial on how to install LVGL on CYD

• More on LVGL binding for Micropython

• ESP32 CYD Marauder build (Video) Very good tutorial on how to build CYD with Marauder

• How to install bmorcelli CYD Launcher For Multiple Application (Video) The bmorcelli CYD Launcher is a versatile tool for Esp32 2432S028 (cheap yellow display) users. It simplifies application management by allowing you to launch applications stored on an SD card, eliminating the need to reflash your device for each new application.

Battery power
