esp32-s3 build

[floral jackal]

hey i also have a esp32 S3

[floral jackal]

i dont have the GPS and cc1101 but i am planing to buy those and i dont wanna use the ir

[oblique wyvern]

the ir is only 5 pins, why not

[floral jackal]

i havent bought it and thought it isn't really important

and will a i2c oled work ?

[whole sphinx]

No

[floral jackal]

why not ?

[whole sphinx]

Bcs bruce is for tft only not for 12c oled or spi oled

[floral jackal]

so if i just tamper with it just a little but it should work right ?

[whole sphinx]

Maybe

@floral jackal why you wanna use an oled display

[floral jackal]

i have it on hand

[whole sphinx]

It will show you a lot of error just use a tft

[floral jackal]

i have to buy it

man i saw it T_T

[whole sphinx]

Hehe

Try esp32 nrf box v2 it's similar to bruce

[floral jackal]

hmm let me check

[whole sphinx]

https://github.com/cifertech/nRFBox

[floral jackal]

ohhh i know about this but didnt relly looked into it

[whole sphinx]

Watch his youtube videos it will help you

[floral jackal]

i saw his video he made a custom one i thougt it was just too much work so i just scraped it

[whole sphinx]

No it's not too much work

[floral jackal]

case i have to go back to my university this is like fun little summer holiday project

[floral jackal]

yup i haven't looked into it but now as i am checking the hardware its so simple

[whole sphinx]

What r u going to do now

[floral jackal]

just gonna wire everything up and then try it

[whole sphinx]

The nrf box

[floral jackal]

yup gonna diy it right now

[whole sphinx]

Good luck

[floral jackal]

needed it

[oblique wyvern]

probably gonna add some internal leds to make it glow some colour, not sure which colour to go for though (suggestions?)

i'm going to add pin headers to the center of each pcb board in the same layout as the esp32 is, so I can stack/remove them easily (and it's modular 🙂 )

[floral jackal]

red and green ?

[oblique wyvern]

i decided on white and light blue

or white and black

mainly white though

[oblique wyvern]

found this https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001594194930.html

(this is just 5 buttons with a plastic shell on top, wiring is the same)

i'm debating just making a pcb for it, if i do i'll make sure to post it here

[oblique wyvern]

pcbs are too complicated for me, at least at this level of detail

[oblique wyvern]

i don't have that colour filament sadly, i'll do white

[floral jackal]

So will be just plug and play ?

[oblique wyvern]

for what?

[floral jackal]

i mean after all the modules will it just plug and play like plugging every thing togeather and will it work ?

[oblique wyvern]

yeah once its all soldered it works

[fading linden]

You are going to make a costume firmware for it am I right?

[oblique wyvern]

no, i'll use bruce

might end up doing that though

[fading linden]

Yeah because that 2 pixels are going to be annoying

[oblique wyvern]

2 pixels of what?

[fading linden]

172 pixels

For smoochiee is 170

But that's easy to add two more pixels

[oblique wyvern]

esp32-s3 has a seperate build, not smoochiee

so i could use the web flasher

i assume so at least

[fading linden]

What you are saying is that you are not going to use smoochiee

Why just search esphome and download the smoochiee bin and upload it

[fading linden]

Or use the web flasher too

[oblique wyvern]

no, as it is not a smoochiee board

bruce has a bin for esp32-s3 by itself, which is what i will use

[fading linden]

So what screen it's needed for it

I'm not sure if it is headless or not

[oblique wyvern]

not headless

[oblique wyvern]

scroll up to the schematic for the correct screen

the first message sent

[fading linden]

I see

Why the pin connections are same as smoochiee like the buttons or even the display

Even the resistors for the buttons

[oblique wyvern]

you can't put the resistors anywhere else for the buttons, theres only one place they can go

[fading linden]

I know if I'm not wrong there are pull up resistors

So did you test it ? Like connect the TFT to the esp32 s3 and upload the firmware

Ok man no problem, good luck with your project

[oblique wyvern]

read the first message, haven't recieved thevparts yet

[silver timber]

Hey bro you need to put my credit if you want to use myschematic

you not even know there's something wrong in the schematic and spread it

This is the correct schematic do not follow the one above because there is a missing ground path

[oblique wyvern]

sorry, I was just trying to make it easier for others. thanks for the heads up

[silver timber]

No Problem ✌️👍

[oblique wyvern]

i'm quite unsure of which firmware to flash, the provided ones in the video are old

[silver timber]

Yes it's old, but you can download and flash it from Bruce webflasher the latest one of smoochie board firmware

[oblique wyvern]

does the different display not matter? Thanks

[floral jackal]

and guys i was thinking about just for cc1101 as it is half duplex shouldn't we use 2 of them cause 1 can sniff and other can just jamm the incoming signal

[oblique wyvern]

what's the point trying to recieve signals if there's a jammer happening a few centimeters away from it

[floral jackal]

my bad

i didnt meant it in the same enclosure i mean we can use another esp32 just for jamming but yah that beats the purpose

[silver timber]

Different display driver or resolution???

[oblique wyvern]

resolution, I figured out how to do it though

[silver timber]

How bro, tell me😁

[oblique wyvern]

you can just change the display_width and display_height in the bruce source code then build it
