Using a 2.8in SPI LCD Touchscreen ILI9341 with an ESP32 on Platformio

[@glebetech6943]

A superb video, very clearly spoken, very informative. I have used PIO for a couple of years but I learnt some new techniques from your video. I shall look forward to more videos. Very happy to subscribe. I really like platformIO too!

Great to hear!

I watched 6 ads for only 12 min video .. GREAT! WELL DONE!

Awesome video, loving PlatformIO!

[@retrotechandelectronics]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@paul30003]

Great stuff, just what I needed.

[@retrotechandelectronics]

Glad it helped

Genial, muchas gracias por compartir esto, incluso con los errores que puedan ocurrir en el momento, me ayudó mucho luego de varias horas perdidas. Saludos, like and sub.

You could explain in a next video, how to define the user_config parameters completely in the INI.file . Bodmer is very active and his library is updated often , in which case you always loose your user_setup modifications. This is especially bad in the Arduino IDE 2.xx . I helped myself, with a universal very long user_setup for connecting the TFT to all my different boards like Teensy ESP32 and the PI PICO. ,where I can comment out all the boards not in use and activate the connected one. Very good video--- I am looking forward to the next one perhaps using sprites, DMA-transfer ...AND....touch function. Greetings from Germany. And - don't forget the SD-Card . I never could make it work, with all the other functions together.

Thanks You for the vid! But I seem to have a problem, I use NodeMCU-32 and the screen is the same as Yours, but when I put starfield on the screen is just white and black, there is nothing showing on it. Can You help?

Thank you. Indeed this was enjoyable, entertaining and informative and I am happy to subscribe, too. 🙂 I do not have an ESP32 yet, merely ESP8266, therefore I have one question: Seems like you are using 2 adjacent breadboards for a reason. Are these ESP32 development boards so wide that there is no additional row left for connection at their sides when placed in the center of this type of breadboard? 🤔 Seems like.

[@retrotechandelectronics]

Yes this is the exact reason I use two breadboards.

hello i have aprobleme whene i input the nuber it getting repeted as if i hold the key , can you help me

[@sakshikshirsagar5876]

What I need to do, if I don't want that arrow touching part, it should work automatically

[@retrotechandelectronics]

Do you mean the calibration. Remove the calibrate line of code.

[@ezrakoper]

Cool how modules become smthing useful in so relatively low complexity

[@noeroure5836]

Really helpful, thanks a lot

[@retrotechandelectronics]

You're welcome.

I've never liked the Arduino IDE (disclaimer: The original one, I haven't looked at the new one), for three main reasons. The editor was horrible, the compiler suppresses far too many warnings, and it recompiles EVERYTHING seemingly every time. The editor wasn't much better than using Windows Notepad. The suppressed warnings leads to programming errors -- If you're program doesn't compile without warnings, you're doing something wrong. And the constant recompilation even after not making any changes is slows the development progress. I will say PlatformIO suffers from this, to a less degree. There's no need for it recompile (or more aptly, relink) when opening the monitor just after you've finished uploading it to the board.
