Thankyou for keeping the projects open source, keeps the hobby alive

[@TBL_stevennelson]

There's no one better to give free product to than you. You make some good looking stuff.

[@VolosProjects]

thank you :)

[@excrubulent]

As an alternative to watches and guages, you could turn these into MIDI instrument & synthesiser controllers, so the dials could be software defined and much more flexible than traditional dials. I'm working on this kind of idea right now using magnetic encoders and displays, and I think this would be a great fit for another version of it. Thanks for sharing your code!

[@khertler]

These both would be great for a flight sim cockpit!

[@leehewitt9559]

No my friend you are definitely not alone, I have many similar displays too all in various states of development…

Don't feel bad we all need things that help us express our creativity and eye!

[@jimsnodgrass8454]

Very nice pair of demos. Makerfabs is very wise to send you these so you'd write such terrific demos for their fine products. I hope I can find an application to justify buying one or more soon, since the prices do seem reasonable. I'm very new to this, but do now have 6 TTGO T Display modules ( with your projects running on 3 of them) and couple dozen other small OLED and TFT displays I haven't built yet. For me, Its FAR more difficult to write, or decipher and debug s/w for these things than to do the h/w but that challenge is part of the fun. Your tutorials on the basics really helped me a lot. Thank You jimS

[@VolosProjects]

Tnx Jim, feell free to ask if you run on some problem.

Hi Volos, I just got the new Lilygo T-Display-AMOLED-S3. It's terrific! First time I ever had an AMOLED on an ESP32. True blacks and the colours pop. I think you might enjoy it for our projects. The first production run is sold out but there are more coming plus a touch version in the pipeline.

[@VolosProjects]

Omg, you got it, i am waiting that board for long time, i hope i will get it soon i can. Is it slower that old version?

[@nikthefix8918]

@@VolosProjects No it's fast. I'm gonna convert some of your projects (with animation) and do a speed comparison but QSPI for 240x536 should out perform the standard T-Display with i8080 8-bit MCU parallel. I'll stick to your original resolution for the speed test tho, and not render the 'extra' pixels - just for fairness. The colours are a little over saturated which is common when playing TFT IPS demos on AMOLED in my experience but the driver is very simple and the datasheet from Raydium shows colour correction registers available. I've extended the driver to include functions for brightness, invert colours, display on/off, sleep etc. I'll pull request those to lilygo as their code is still 'preliminary' - but it works out of the box. I too have been waiting for this for ages. No more backlight bleed!

[@VolosProjects]

Great, where you bought it?

[@nikthefix8918]

@@VolosProjects Can you persuade max3ddesign to design a case for it? I really like the T-Display one. BTW, the data shown on the website for the pre-order amoled board is not up to date. The actual shipped unit is much nicer with a different display - 240x536 vs 194x368. I'm not sure why the preliminary hardware is still listed or why you've not recieved yours yet if you pre-ordered.

[@MediaCreators]

@@VolosProjects Loving your channel! One question: I am ordering a T-Display S3 Touch. Which IDE and version do you recommend? Will ARDUINO 2.1.0 work? And what version of the ESP32 library? I read that there are problems with some IDE versions that can mess up the board.

[@gentibici]

love your videos :) I live in Albania and I am restoring the only vw t2 left in the whole country :-D same as you i am addicted to work on the old cars, and I am so happy to find your channel because I want to add some simple gauge in my bus, always if there will be any more left in my wallet after i finish the diy restoration .... i bought a RPM tachometer online and it looks ugly on my dash so this project of your will be awesome.. really awesome.. hope there is any way to be in touch with you time after time to get some ideas.. :) I support your channel :)

[@surronzak8154]

Make one like this for after market controlers for electric dirtbikes like surron, there is litteraly zero option that doesn't look like shit from 2000 or way to big, I subed to your channel and will learn all what it takes to do one, but if you make some you can sell them for sure. I really don't understand why no one made it allready, looks so easy to do seriously

[@CrazyLabs]

I have twelve models of boards (arduinos, esp, etc.) each for a project, but some of them are for watching your videos 😂😂

[@VolosProjects]

nice amout :) Thank you for comment .

[@Dancopymus]

Very cool but, a shame, these screens are very expensive. Depending on the project, it is not worth the investment. Thanks for the video.

[@ВасяПетров-к9я]

Perfect. Artificial horizont - fly style may by?

[@TYGAMatt]

I'm looking to make a simple tachometer. I think I need to study your code very carefully and slowly try to cut it down to the bare minimum

[@rdyer8764]

Just started with ESP32, but I already have about 15 boards. And I have an embarrassing number of TFTs from the past. Maybe we need to start a 12-step group for this? Thanks for the tip on Makerfabs, though my bank account is already feeling a bit sick. :((

[@MASI_forging]

[@32_bits]

Does your display code use 2nd processor and leave 1st processor for other real time applications? Would this be easy to do with ESP32-S3?

[@TheMasterTuX]

oh damn he asked how many board :( round about 50 ESP32 Boards (Headless and a lot of them in an ESPNow Mesh) 10 M5Stack Core Basic (you know my struggle :P ) 4 M5Stack Core2 10 M5StickC Am I addicted? Maybe! Do I have Fun? For sure! :D

[@heinzbimbelhuber3273]

Nice Displays. But there is no information about how long are there available. If i start a Project, and after one year, no one can reproduce, makes it sensles.

[@ExpressiveImagery]

What a really cool display and dial implementation. I really hope that someone develops a round touch display that's built into a proper watch like the LilyGo T-Watch 2020. I own 17 different types of display units and have 12 Arduino compatible MCU dev boards, but mainly now develop solutions based around the ESP32 TinyPICO Nano MCU as it's so small and feature packed. Greetings from Brisbane Australia.

[@VolosProjects]

You have alot, i am not alone :)

[@WaschyNumber1]

Ther are the amazfit watches gtr and gts, ect they are round and the other square or was it the other way around 🤔🤗, but they are not specially completed customer programmable but they are some custom firmwares I think.

[@ExpressiveImagery]

@@VolosProjects Hehe, yes I think we have the same addiction ;) Keep going with your display projects. Your hard work and creativity is appreciated by this community.

[@nikthefix8918]

Avoid clocks and guages on the 4" display 'cos the pixel pitch is not square so your circles end up looking like eggs - and Easter is past! Unfortunately, many of the popular dev boards use displays with non-square pixels. If accurate screen geometry is important then check the screen datasheet before purchase.

[@n.r.2258]

I like your samples very much and would like nothing more than to build something like that but I still shy away from the procedure.

yes, i have, and to he honest i did not like it. i am not sure if i whoud be able to make this using python , it is slower and there is hard to find informations how to setup new board using python.

Your code examples do not work. I bought the exact round displays from makerfabs after seeing this video, and downloaded the code and libraries from the links. They must have changed, as your code just gives a blank screen. Please correct the code and library versions and provide relevant links, as there is no other information I can find on this display... Thanks!
