The green connector design is called a "Phenix Connector" if anyone was curious.

[@DrFiero]

It’s actually spelt phoenix. Also note that there are 3 pin spacings for them before you dash off to get one.

[@davefilicicchia6341]

Not sure if it is the 2.50 mm pitch or 2.54 mm (0.1").

[@DrFiero]

@@davefilicicchia6341 - same same. It's just a rounding thing. The spacing difference is quite large, so you won't confuse one with the other.

[@shanesteven4578]

Easy peasy for sure! Loving your content and highly recommend your channel, especially those video’s where you go into detail and explain your programming of these devices and highlight your design/display ideas. Thank you.

[@VolosProjects]

Thank you my friend, i will try to make mire content like that

[@tomkatt2321]

Great video and helpful information. I tried the WatchESPI example (clock shown in video) and was disappointed to find that such a cool looking project was missing the last 1% of functionality and the displayed time was hardcoded to the display rather than updating to display the actual time... Though that did make me learn how to modify the code to make the 'clock' work as expected - maybe that's a subtle hint to learn for yourself lol? Either way, thanks for the video and sharing your knowledge!

[@k98killer]

Easy peasy indeed. Should be fun to experiment with.

[@BlondieSL]

I'm liking these *M5Dial* devices. I can see many projects with them I just hope that they offer other colors for the ring and body. Or at least, perhaps, a method and files for a person to 3D print their own so as to match whatever color a project might be. Orange is nice, but may not be suitable for everyone.

[@zaprodk]

M4?

[@hugoschmitt1772]

just have to find a way to mount on the wall/panel...

[@BlondieSL]

@@hugoschmitt1772 That's where the 3D printer and CAD come in handy.

[@chrismayer8990]

Wow, that's a successful combination. I hope it will be available again soon and that the price doesn't go up.

[@AchimKern]

Hello my friend great source - I have optimized all today - now it is really a clock - I included RTC and NTP server functions. Also I connect it to my Synology MQTT broker and provide sensor data via MQTT too.

[@tomkatt2321]

Any chance of sharing that code somewhere ?

[@nochkin]

Btw, the input voltage range is up to 36V, not just 24V. That makes it even better.

[@jonnymakers9560]

easy peasy...excellent...the workmanship is amazing - the plastics form fit and function

[@bengtkarlsson9747]

This was so cool that i had to order a pice. Have no clue for purpose yet but that will come. Thank's for sharing!!

[@Andrew-rc3vh]

If you want to cut a hole into plastic I find those drill attachments with circular sawtooth cutting edge do the job nicely, but use a piece of wood to mount it on as you drill, and cut it slowly on a drill stand. ABS plastic is a nice material to cut in this way.

[@HariWiguna]

Writing comments on KZbin is easy peasy. Thanks for sharing another cool toy.

[@VolosProjects]

thank you Hari

[@toddbu-WK7L]

This is yet another AMAZING video. I just wish that they were in stock so I don't have to wait. 🙂 You really make me think hard about the nature of UI. I have been hearing lately that car owners are getting sick of touch-screen displays and want the old-fashioned control knobs back as they are much easier to use. A device like this seems perfect for certain types of applications

[@VolosProjects]

thank you for coffe Tod... i am one of thease car owners, i dont like UI in new cars, i want simple and fast. Thank you again.

[@toddbu-WK7L]

@@VolosProjects, I have some bad news to report. I got my new device about a week ago but it's defective. I've been working with the folks at M5Dial and they've been helpful. It seems that I have bad touchscreen and some other strange behavior. To fully convince myself that the problem wasn't just a buggy demo app, I loaded your timer app from this video. My device doesn't respond to any screen touches at all but will sometimes beep like I pressed the screen. Anyway, I've asked the manufacturer for a replacement / refund. Hopefully I hear from them again soon. That being said, I haven't give up hope yet. This device is really a pretty amazing piece of engineering that I hope I can get working. I can see a lot of possible applications for this kind of integrated display. I REALLY want this to work out 🙂

[@jerbear7952]

This would just further complicate knobs not help the problem. We just need potentiometers, not computers in each knob. This would be cool for other stuff though

[@toddbu-WK7L]

@@jerbear7952 I don't know about you, but I haven't had any pots in my vehicles for a lot of years. In my truck, the two controls that I use the most (volume control and heat control) are encoders or push buttons with visual indicators next to them. So I don't see how a rotary encoder with a built-in screen is really any different

[@VolosProjects]

Did you get your refund?

[@sshah876]

This thing looks nice, if a heading indicator/compass sketch is there I will pick one for my car.

[@user-ot7wb8sy1v]

I can see this fit nicely as a watch.

[@spacetrucker2196]

looks like just the sort of thing to put on a mysterious looking box. bought 3

[@neilrollins475]

Brilliant demo. Thanks Mr Volos. Problem now is there are too many ESP32-Display units to choose from. I’m sticking with Makerfabs for now as its a bit bigger.

[@VolosProjects]

I agree, way too many

[@SuperYellowsubmarin]

Thank you for actually putting out good examples. There are too many so-called reviews that just unbox and show the factory app. On the other hand, UIflow is way underdevelopped as far as UI is concerned for M5Dial so there needs to be better material as to how to code a good UI for the Dial.

[@VolosProjects]

Thank you for comment. I still havent try UI flow.

[@SuperYellowsubmarin]

@@VolosProjects I like it because I don't care much about coding and just want something that works, but they are way too slow to bring up all modules for all controllers.

[@PeterMosier]

Easy peasy!

[@G8YTZ]

I love your "Watch" display, but the github entry has very little information as to how to load it via Arduino IDE, I was kind of expecting a sketch to copy, but there appears to be some dependencies too.

[@MartykanT]

The color scheme and design reminds me of Gardena hoses

[@djokinac]

Easy peasy, lemon squeezy! Interesting video.

[@VolosProjects]

Tnx Mike

[@simon-maddox]

Great video again. I would love to see a combination lock application of this, @Mr Volos! Concentric dials, change direction to jump from dial to dial and long press to 'open' the lock. Is this a challenge you'd consider??

[@Fatpumpumlovah2]

THAT WOULD WORK GREAT FOR MY FLIGHT SIMULATOR BUILD!!!!

[@Patrick-en2rv]

Easy Peasy - Nice!

[@VolosProjects]

Tnx :)

[@BlondieSL]

@@VolosProjects Your projects are always top notch. The one thing I notice, perhaps the most, is how you are able, with any display, to get the nicest looking text.

[@justinLooper]

Any idea why your sketches would be showing up mirrored on the screen....? The watch sketch is fine, but the piano and timers for some reason end up fully functional, but their display (though not touchscreen interaction zones) is mirrored.

[@Adrian-yz7oe]

Cool as hell!

[@jeison_sanches]

Easy peasy!

[@xlcommunities]

This is a great explanation. I got my hands on one of these to play with, but I'm new to dealing with power for these types of devices. Can you show how you could power this with a battery pack or something similar other than using the USB-C? I'd like to make it so this could be carried around or set on a desk similar to how you used the plastic case in this video. I just don't know what type of battery and connector to use. Thanks!

[@SlinkyD]

Easy peasy, blunts & Tea.

[@jerbear7952]

that doesn't make any sense or rhyme. It sounds lovely but it still doesn't make sense.

[@SlinkyD]

@@jerbear7952 Maybe cus you living in the sandbox. I live an unadulterated live on the bleeding edge of freedom.

[@christianmeinert8806]

Nice product. But who decided on the color scheme? I can’t see this on an wall or in any real project. Sorry “Black is beautiful” or white. It’s already out of stock so perhaps the next batch could be better.

[@jdrissel]

How about using one of these as a safe combination input device, with an Arduino inside the safe to check the combination. It could be much better than commercial solutions. The Arduino could send a seed and then the dial could sign the result and send that back making replay attacks impossible. There would need to be a little thought put into this, but I can see that this would be an attractive option.

[@nuclearusa16120]

I built an electronic door lock for my house that works just like that, except with at 12 digit keypad. I didn't implement the digital signature feature though, as inspection of the signal path wires for a skimmer is trivial, and the likelihood of a thief designing, installing, monitoring, and then returning to utilize a signal skimmer is highly unlikely, and would also show up pretty glaringly on the security cameras.

[@staffa007]

Too good!!!

[@jesperbergvall7714]

Can you use it outdoor? Is it sun readable and splash proof at the front?

[@anasqai]

Can the timer just connect multiple sound speaker wire or bluetooth/wifi? Like camping place 1 timer to wakeup together such thing? Like fair about the sound distance. About "helpful people" may be taking higher sound level.

ESPhome for Home Asistant?

[@nacs]

Accepts 6 to *36V* according ot their website (this video says 24V max)

[@BlondieSL]

The 6V lower end I find rather odd. The norm has always been 5V for pretty much anything I use. But I guess not a big deal as it will work on a 12V supply, which is also very common. I look forward to getting one and coming up with some cool projects.

Watch this in x2. Great device overall but a built-in battery or a "complete case" would be even nicer! While white case works, it ruins the design.
