aqtinstall VS esp-idf

I've used aqt[1] before but it doesn't look like it's seeing 5.15.11 yet, just 5.15.2.

Don't use the Qt installer. It sucks. It's only reason is to annoy people and collect your data. Use aqt: https://github.com/miurahr/aqtinstall

I mostly disagree. Like you said, Qt is the best native GUI toolkit available today. And that is a hard achievement. There are many tradeoffs (some you pointed out) but the open source community seems to find a way around those limitations. There are thousands of open source libraries you can plug-in into your Qt app to overcome many of its limitations (although some remain, like how can't we still not easily change caret/cursor color of QTextEdit??).

Unlike you, I like the direction where Qt is taking. I think QML and Qt Quick are great. I just implemented a feature in my note-taking app that turns Markdown text into Kanban board using QML and the experience has been great (https://github.com/nuttyartist/notes/pull/574). I'm planning to continue transition from QWidgets to QML/Qt Quick.

I do worry of the continuous friction with open source development and hate the online installers as well. I can recommend this useful tool https://github.com/miurahr/aqtinstall that allows you to easily download prebuilt Qt binaries. I hope they can revert their approach on that.

Install the qt binaries from the command line https://github.com/miurahr/aqtinstall

https://github.com/miurahr/aqtinstall will help you with that.

you can install it from vcpkg or conan (or https://github.com/miurahr/aqtinstall if you really want the official Qt binaries) and it'll be much less

Is there any particular reason why you want to build Qt yourself? This is usually quite painful and requires a lot of extra stuff (see https://wiki.qt.io/Building\_Qt\_6\_from\_Git) . If you just want to avoid the (horrible) official installer and a Qt account, you can use aqtinstaller to fetch everything you need: https://github.com/miurahr/aqtinstall

Just recently, I had to recompile a (singleplayer) save game editor. So basically a GUI that does some clever hex editing.

It was written in C++ using Qt.

Have you ever tried compiling a Qt program on Windows? It involves signing up for an official Qt developer account to even install qmake.

To the point I had to use an unofficial Qt installer CLI app (aqtinstall) [0] to even install the toolchain to build this little shitty app... which still relied on having several Qt .dll files in the same directory as the .exe to work.

Have you clicked on [0] yet? Well, then guess what programming language aqtinstall uses.

For returning to deep sleep from the wake-up stub you can take a look at how it is done in https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf/tree/master/examples/system/deep_sleep_wake_stub

You can find the examples here: https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf/tree/master/examples

I found the spi_lcd_touch example and flashed it, and it seems to run fine with either ili9341 or gc9a01 drivers selected (although both are mirrored, and one has the colours inverted compared to the other - both of which I assume are things I can fix in either driver).

If that's the case: You register a GPIO as event source and make a task waiting for it, that then just performs the I2C-transaction. Follow this example https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf/blob/master/examples/peripherals/gpio/generic_gpio/main/gpio_example_main.c

IDF contains stuff like https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf/blob/master/pytest.ini and https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf/blob/master/tools/ci/idf_pytest/constants.py which are not part of the pytest-embedded package.

ugh.. arduino.

Better to start with ESP-IDF, there's a pretty full featured well documented web server, and a lot more.

i've looked over the the ble peripheiral example https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf/blob/master/examples/bluetooth/nimble/bleprph/README.md and i see it's using

Hi, I have device ESP32-S3-DevKitM-1 and i want to catch keystrokes from keyboard. I tried using this https://github.com/tanakamasayuki/EspUsbHost and example from espressif https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf/tree/release/v5.1/examples/peripherals/usb/host/hid/main but when i connect keyboard it is just connecting and disconnecting. Can anyone help me with this?
