Winduino: The beginnings of an Arduino emulator layer for PC
1 project | /r/esp32 | 19 Sep 2023

This should work with LVGL but I haven't tried it. It does work with https://honeythecodewitch.com/uix and https://honeythecodewitch.com/gfx and the example project uses that.
I've produced a couple of projects for doing graphics and user-interface stuff

I've developed a graphics library that supports TrueType, SVG, PNG, JPG, alpha blending and X11 colors here: https://honeythecodewitch.com/gfx/
If my ESP32 is being powered by a 5V power supply through the 5V Vin pin, can I simultaneously output 3.3V to some other peripherals in the system that require 3.3Volts

The ESP32 will reboot with a brownout message if you draw too much current. Obviously you want to avoid this, but after writing a graphics library htcw_gfx and writing a ton of drivers for many different displays, I've never had any issues running the backlight off the ESP32's 3.3v pin when plugged into USB, or even on LiPO.

Alternatives to LVGL for embedded graphics on a monochrome display?
1 project | /r/embedded | 27 Feb 2023

Try out https://github.com/codewitch-honey-crisis/gfx - it works very well on monochrome displays and is lighter than LVGL.
htcw_gfx 1.3.8 is out and published to PIO

Just Released My ESP32-S3 Audio Dev Board
3 projects | /r/esp32 | 22 Apr 2023

If you're getting started, the ESP8266Audio library makes it easy to play audio with the Arduino toolchain. For more advanced use cases, Espressif's own ESP-ADF has a lot of useful features and examples.

Ugh.. ADF
1 project | /r/esp32 | 4 Feb 2023

Sorry to break it to you, but the Korvo-2 is an ESP32-S3 based board and does not have classic Bluetooth (only Bluetooth LE). The a2dp+hfp example only works on the original ESP32 boards. See this table: https://github.com/espressif/esp-adf/tree/master/examples
ESP32 Audio ADC libraries
1 project | /r/esp32 | 30 Dec 2022

I'm mainly looking for a direction toward a library that may assist in my project, or whether I need to do all this from scratch. Is esp-adf (https://github.com/espressif/esp-adf) something I should be looking at, is it relevant to the parts I'm using?

Example code https://github.com/espressif/esp-adf/tree/master/examples/player/pipeline_a2dp_sink_stream this is technically making a headphone with remote control but you can still use it as a starting point.

Espressif has an example for the esp32. I’m sure you could use it as a starting point to build what you need.
