• Playing with code: Part 1

  Alex • 08/29/2024 at 12:44 • 1 comment

  Let's try making some changes to the code in the main.cpp file. First, let's make the text "Hello, ESP32-S3!" larger. To do this, we'll need to create a new style and customize it by changing the font to one that supports the desired text size.
  

  // Create and display label
  lv_obj_t *label = lv_label_create(lv_scr_act());
  // Create a style for text
  static lv_style_t style;
  lv_style_init(&style);
  
  // Customize the style by setting the font
  // Here lv_font_montserrat_42 is an example font
  lv_style_set_text_font(&style, &lv_font_montserrat_42);
  
  // Applying style to label
  lv_obj_add_style(label, &style, 0);
      
  lv_label_set_text(label, "Hello, ESP32-S3!");
  lv_obj_align(label, LV_ALIGN_CENTER, 0, 0);

  I couldn't find any simple examples of working with the ESP-IDF display, so I asked chatGPT to make such an example for me from a LilyGo-Display-IDF demo.  All changes affected the main.cpp file.
  

  Here's a simplified version of the main.cpp file:

• The Birth of BEAD

  Alex • 07/24/2024 at 08:27 • 0 comments

  The idea for this project came to me after reading an article about creating a miniature eBook reader with a 1.54-inch screen based on the ESP32. There's something incredibly appealing about these tiny devices. However, the device described in the article seemed somewhat impractical. That got me thinking—what would be the smallest practical eBook reader?
