    Dear Volo, your projects are top notch regarding your presentation, design and programming skills. Unfortunately, to answer your questions, they are useless like most little temperature, clock current etc. examples. Their main use is for learning purpose, but everybody is trying to shine in this area. I believe the culprit with most ytubers is, that their target group is not well defined. They get a board and than they make a non specific project for everybody, to market their product. As a person who knows where the rabbit runs, I suggest to think about a defined target audience. A niche market , and to build for this audience only. For example Air conditioner manufacturer and user. Thats a great niche audience with little to no competition. A/Cs come with remote control. You could use the touch lilygo to build an IR emulator, for a certain brand. Start with one brand, the libraries are out there. Control the A/C on a next level so it sets its temperature according to people home, time, daylight or night, adjustable via touch pad and cellular phone. That would be a useful project because the alternatives are none. Thats why I had to program an esp32 to help cool and heat a glasshouse for plants to automatically switch temperature settings according to daylight and night. Anyway, I believe, its always good to make good projects for a well defined small audience or target group with certain needs, than someone's skills will be even more appreciated.

    A product that might be interesting, for me, at least, would be a kind of "I2C breadboard", with connectors, and a couple of DIL socket holes... I can get interesting components in QFN, TSOP, and so on, and adapters to solder them easily, then header/socket pins, to mount them to a carrier PCB... Such a I2C breadboard could have maybe a dip switch for address selection, or a row of solder jumpers to connect to + or gnd for address selection of devices... Just a goofy idea... Hope that the description made a little bit of sense?

    • @BlondieHappyGuy
      @BlondieHappyGuy Год назад

      I like that too. I wonder how they are selecting the port. I wonder if it's the same as some Adafruit shields that you have only 2 choices and have to more a resistor or short from one side to another, or if they have thought of some nicer way to select one of several.
      I'm going to have to look into those. Plus, I love the purple boards. LOL
      After all, board color is vital! LOL

      @nikthefix8918 Год назад

      I bought 2 of the SC01-plus boards. They're terrific! For 480x320 I think it's the best board out there and the supplied ST7796 is much nicer than ili9481. Worth getting the serial uploder for debug etc although you can do everything you need with the native usb but as the boot pin in is only exposed to a header connector and not a tact switch you could lock yourself out if using the wrong board settings.

    I'm trying to use the T-Display S3 with the Ultrasonic Sensor HC-SR04 for a water level indicator. I couldn't find step in step instructions for this kind of project with the T-Display S3. would you have an idea where can I find a tutorial ? or even make one ?
    Regardless, Thank you again for the excellent videos ( subscribed ).

    • @VolosProjects
      @VolosProjects  Год назад

      Thank you, that sensor is unfamiliar to me bu i will take a look.

    • @BlondieHappyGuy
      @BlondieHappyGuy Год назад

      Now this I know!
      I use that very sensor as a water level monitor on my "humidifier" project.
      I'm using Arduino for that project, however, the code works exactly the same on ESP32.
      If you already have figured it out, then please just ignore my post.
      So this sensor just uses 2 pins to communicate on, plug VCC and ground.
      I don't use any libraries for them as you can work with the raw values and save memory.
      You can choose any pins, but I'd stay away from any PWM pins (just in case).
      I use this: echoPin = D4; trigPin = D5.
      For pinMode I set echoPin to input and trigPin to output.
      Sadly, I can't post actual code as the RUclips Algorithm just removes the comment. I get it, though.
      You can search for some sample sketches on how to use this sensor then mod to fit your project.
      In mind, I use an integer, in my project, I just call it pulseLenMicroseconds.
      This returns a time period in micro seconds of the echoPin variable.
      I forget why now, but I do convert that to centimeters (probably for easier math)
      So that var is distanceCentimeters and the formula is:
      distanceCentimeters equals pulseLenMicroseconds divided by 29.387 dividedc by 2
      First as a test, I created variables to detect the FULL level and the EMPTY level so that I could adjust the sensor to fit the area it was in.
      That worked out so well that I actually added a routine, on the "setup" page, to be able to adjust these 2 numbers. Of course, on that page, I show the current 2 numbers and a level meter in real time. I also added 2 indicators on the display that would trigger when the water level was at the new setting(s).
      It turns out that this was an excellent thing to keep in the project.
      In this humidifier, with the fan and/or water pump running, of course, the water jiggles with little mini waves. That can affect the sensor.
      So to compensate for that, I did some things. For one, rather than constantly reading the sensor, I'd only read it every xx seconds (to be determined per project).
      Then, I have an "averaging" routine that first looks at the previous few readings and if the new reading is close, then I'd use that new number in the averaging collector.
      Basically, I have it ignore the read if the number is way off of the previous 1, 2, 3 or whatever I choose.
      This helps to stabilize the final output to the display.
      As I mentioned above, I made a "level meter" which is just a vertical progress bar with a graphic I designed that uses colors to indicated low to high in a variable color scheme. Of course, plain numbers can be used.... anything, really.
      I did add an "accuracy counter", which is created from the above numbers that are close to the previous few. Again, this makes the level meter stable and not bouncing all over the place.
      Anyway, that's a lot to read there. Sorry. LOL
      But I hope that helps.
