Elecrow ESP32-Terminal

www.elecrow.com/esp-terminal-...
The Elecrow ESP Terminal, centered around the ESP32-S3 microcontroller, is equipped with 2.4GHz Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5, 16MB Flash, and 8MB PSRAM, highlighting its potential as a powerful control unit for various applications. We delve into its features, including the 3.5-inch TFT touchscreen display with a resolution of 480*320, capacitive touch interface, and expansion options through HY2.0 connectors specifically designed for Elecrow sensors. Despite its audio limitations, having only a buzzer, and the design considerations regarding the battery port placement, the video emphasizes the device's utility and customization potential for tech enthusiasts. Additionally, we explore the comprehensive documentation provided by Elecrow, emphasizing its value in facilitating a deeper understanding and application of the device in DIY electronics projects. The objective is to equip viewers with a thorough understanding of the ESP Terminal's technical specifications and practical applications, rather than focusing on selling the product.

I have no idea what this is but looks interesting

[@julianbell9161]

It’s literally just a programmable screen. It does whatever you code it to do. Think of it like the electronics version of a blank canvas, it could be any painting you choose to paint

[@_GOD_HAND_]

This is great. I've been looking for a dodongle with enough ports to plug in all my flibberjibbets. Very useful.

[@USAisAFK]

Yeah this thing rocks dude. I got all my wigglewomps directly connected to the doodads. It runs at 10 GibbleJits per second. Can't ask for much more.

[@AlexDiesTrying]

Your shorts are most welcome.

[@Errcyco]

His pants wernt for me either.

[@lorrdy7640]

I mean it's just ads

A few things since I'm stoned and have let this repeat a dozen times trying to reply lol. I'd love to get one of those to mess with, but being based off a Wroom instead of a Wrover is disappointing not having PSRAM. It may not always be needed, but it's nice to have for expanded options with designs. Also, those connectors don't seem that uncommon, at least with microcontrollers. I'm even incorporating them into my newest handheld game console design using an ESP32-Wroom-32D SoC and an ILI9341 tft. They're also standard in the M5Stack line of products and others like it. With those, they make connecting things via UART super easy compared to having to wire multiple data and power connections separately. Anyway, nice video. Great description of the device and I loved the closeups. Other channels don't do it as much or as cinematically.

[@HatoBumpkin]

I absolutely love basic tech in a tiny form and I don't don't know why.

[@IneaFaedyn]

Oh hey I have one of these, it just didnt come with a nice shell, its just a yellow board they put in like an altoids tin, but its the same, same demo and all. Theyre neato, I think I wanna make it into some kinda remote control/terminal thing for all my projects.

[@foximacentauri7891]

The ESP32 is my go-to microcontroller, alongside the ESP-8266. Dirt cheap, decently powerful, easy to program PLUS they have wifi.

[@stupidgenius42]

HY2.0-4P is actually pretty common, but it’s better known as the grove connector.

[@recoblade1465]

Just an FYI I imagine you get a kick back if we use your link but we can't use your link on a short can't even copy it if you're on a phone

[@HackMakeMod]

I appreciate you letting me know. My motivation to produce this content is primarily to share what I learn with others. As long as you can find something valuable from this I am happy.

[@recoblade1465]

@@HackMakeMod thank you I enjoy your content

[@CustomMusicDesign]

I'd rather have raw header pins than hard-to-find connectors for sensors.

[@recoblade1465]

They're not hard to find they are on Amazon and more importantly digikey

[@golanoski1]

But, why?? What do yall use theese for???

[@giannismentz3570]

Any kind of industrial applications? point of sale applications?

[@gearsgamer7115]

Might want to find something like a pro variant of this with a actual quad core arm soc chip. I think that would make it really good

[@paulmcfeeters5554]

Like a raspberry pi?

[@gearsgamer7115]

@@paulmcfeeters5554 much smaller

[@gearsgamer7115]

Like coin sized

[@ZaidImrozYT]

The terminal is running lvgl graphics library demos. I have more than half a decade of experience with automotive and embedded systems but I can'thelp but drool on this one.😅.

[@BetterThenIncredible]

What is this used for? Asking for a friend mostly

[@miknord5493]

Try to watch KZbin with the speaker😂 Versuchen Sie, mal, KZbin darauf zu gucken mit dem Lautsprecher😂

[@LeslieWorks]

What can I use something like this for ? Also i need to get with you about a simple small tech solution that may be up your alley. Don't have the time to mess with it myself atm

[@RotcodFox]

"plenty of ram" That's the smallest amount of ram I've seen since the early 2000's

[@OlympusAerial]

It’s a microcontroller not a single board computer, this is for less resource intensive IoT tasks.

[@lowerclasswarfare]

Typical furry response.

[@MADmosche]

Is it possible to run a browser-type app on this thing? I’m thinking octoprint’s web interface

[@3drakaina]

With the limited ram, I doubt you'll find or even be able to write your own browser that will work. But since the OctoPrint interface is just HTTP, you could probably write a simple program to connect to the OctoPrint host, but create a simple program to interact with it on the terminal instead of just accessing the web page. I'm tempted to do this too so I'm just thinking out loud lol. Which too, that would probably mean I could make it work for the Cardputer too. Hmm...

[@DaSlotho]

How far r we from turnimg one of them into a cellphone

[@fabriglas]

could it be used a mP3 player? wireless phones!?

[@Atmatan_Kabbaher]

You can literally just run jumper cables to them. Whats the problem?

[@moldo.cel.barbos]

i wonder if its possible to run wled and have controls on the screen

[@HackMakeMod]

good idea, i’ll look into it!

[@oleg6517]

Can you give an example how you use it? What is the value?

[@simpaijam7889]

He just did 😂😂

[@lorrdy7640]

With these limited features not much

[@YoutubePizzer]

that frame rate looks rough

[@chhitler7796]

Can it run doom?

[@jonaspeters8648]

Does it has I2S connectors?

[@Bob3519]

Yes, It is labeled I2C on one of its ports.

[@D0ct0rDTV]

​@@Bob3519 I2C yes, it has, but no I2S, I think And ESP32S3 has 2 I2S, but one of them is given to display

[@adi7840]

What field of engineering is this called plz yell

[@Shepherd_HL]

Electrical or Computer Engineering

[@meowzic]

What is it for?

[@Joshua-yj6eq]

DIY hobby projects

[@diegorojasporras6892]

I think the Arduino and Raspberry Pi are better if you know how to put them together.

[@Pbdijonnaise]

Yeah but can it play Doom?

[@darcyjane8515]

Called a terminal. No keyboard. Boo.
