Control Your PC Volume with ESP32-S3 and Makerfabs MaTouch Display

[@tubeDude48]

I'm sure many people don't realize the level of coding you can do. Your gadgets are always amazing! Thanks, Volos. 👍

[@henrybecker2842]

That is such a clean interface. There are many UI developers who should take a design class from you. Beautiful design

[@VolosProjects]

Tnx henry.

[@dafoex]

Those keys you get on laptops for volume are actually standardised, it is called USB Consumer Control and there are a surprising number of functions available

[@Śiśna3633]

Excellent job. Compare to LVGL, your graphics are order of magnitude better. I believe you are the only one doing the bare metal coding for small screen and it shines.

[@VolosProjects]

Thank you :)

[@ChuckThree]

Ohhh, that would be amazing for aftermarket car stereos! Annoying almost none of the use volume knobs

[@StriViK]

The question is can we use a esp32 to make a aftermarket stereo or a raspberry pi based radio

[@alejandroperez5368]

@@StriViK And why would you want to do that?

[@olivierdamiron7279]

Volos, this is great! Can you make a short video to show how to upload the sketch with Arduino? I assume we have to reset the board to put it in Prog mode (it comes with a basic Makerfabs sketch). I just want to make sure which board to select in Arduino. Step 2, we need to download that 3RVX utility or is that not needed? Thanks!

[@lohikarhu734]

I guess that one could add other control functions, using buttons on the screen to change menus....very nice looking! As usual!

[@alaevlabs]

Hi! A great project!!! Can you refine the sketch so that it can be uploaded to ESP32C3???

[@JustNomad]

As usual, a great project, resulting in a great design that is clean and simple in its aesthetics and operation. However, I am a little disapointed that you don't appear to have exploted the MA Touch in your projects. Aesthetically, the MATouch is far better than the M5 Dial. So, how about a project for home automation that includes 433 mhz remote signals as well as BT BLE Utalising the MATouch as the main control interface?

*What company’s products did Maekrfabs re-brand and overprice this time?*

[@ingusmant]

You could add controls for other audio options like bass, treble, equalizer, etc

[@akulahpathub]

That would need implementing comunication with the audio driver. I never know keyboard shortcut for that function. This device only mimic keyboard device, i guess.

[@qbalsdon]

This is so amazing! Have you tried making a BLE HID with the ESP32-S3?

[@VolosProjects]

Thank you! Yes i used bluetooth keyboard library few times

[@nishad2m8]

Cool 😇. i need to try this on davinci resolve

[@maglevize]

What font are you used for the number? It’s just perfect between clarity and minimalism

[@VolosProjects]

hello, name of font is Agency

[@fermintm]

I also think you could control the volume via a bluetooth connection. Very nice project!

[@alejandroperez5368]

But if the computer is connected to a soundbar via bluetooth, I don't think you could achieve it. I don't think the bluetooth adapters in PCs or laptops are usually multipoint capable, if that's what the technology is called.

[@JB-fh1bb]

​@@alejandroperez5368that would make a common use case impossible: Bluetooth keyboard + Bluetooth headphones

[@bayliner4387]

I like it, but I dont see the code in the description

[@VolosProjects]

Sorry i will put it right now

[@giusepearturo]

if you get this compatible with ESPhome, woul be the major add to the project until now

[@Kevin000]

Can we code this in a way that works like deej?

[@zetasonics7584]

Random, but where do you get those usb-c cables from?

[@VolosProjects]

I got it with some of lilygo board. But you can buy it on temu site

[@NamasenITN]

It seems the rotation is not very smooth and low friction. Is it meant to be that way?

[@amorpheuses1627]

True not very smooth. But for the price point, not sure one could expect much more.

[@arp_catchall]

Great for thermostat. Still wish it came with better case tho.

[@TheSuperStroker]

Amazing thank you

[@SublimaSono]

Hi. Is reasonably effort to adapt this to raspberry?

[@VolosProjects]

I dont know, i havent used rpi for a while.

[@nobodyisperfect1564]

I had the same Idea, but with a Microphone. Against the loud Ad. and Music in YT.

[@leooblak5214]

Hi! I like very much your projects. It's possible to hire you for some small ESP32 projects? Leo

[@MrKingChannel1]

how can i use this in my car

[@VolosProjects]

it depends what you want to control.

[@hightech_lowlife]

bought this board and downloaded your code, but getting an error on upload... who wants to help a noob?

[@mkimerling]

I am also getting a fault "ledcSetup was not declared in this scope"

[@VolosProjects]

You need to downgrade your esp32 boards to version les than 3.0

[@mkimerling]

@@VolosProjects Thanks! that did it

[@JWG2014]

link to the board goes to a site that say my Chrome browser is out of date ... BE WARNED

[@veitklub]

you could do this via bluetooth, then you don't need to connect the cable. to the laptop ...

[@VolosProjects]

Yes i know but then i need to find way to power board.

[@akulahpathub]

Is it power hungry device ?

[@veitklub]

@@VolosProjects well it could be powered by a power outlet, but at least no plug at the laptop...

[@IbnBahtuta]

The amplifier for my PC came with a volume control, if yours didn't send it back. If your keyboard didn't come with a volume control send it back. smh
