Details

  • No additional hardware required. All you need is CYD
  • But if you have a speaker it can beep on events.
  • It uses internal flash for files storage. FFat as filesystem. You can do backups from FFat to SD.
  • Or you can use SD as storage. If both (SD and FFat) available you'll see prompt after reboot.
  • You can add your own internal apps by modifying arduino code.

Installation via web flasher

Required libraries

  • TFT_eSPI - install via arduino library manager
  • XPT2046_Bitbang - install via arduino library manager
  • ESPping
  • Ticker

Installation via Arduino IDE

Check instructions at https://randomnerdtutorials.com/cheap-yellow-display-esp32-2432s028r/ if you have troubles.
