esp-idf VS NimBLE-Arduino

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?

The code will be built using the esp32-nimble crate. The esp32-nimble crate is a wrapper for the ESP32 NimBLE Bluetooth stack. The crate is inspired by the NimBLE-Arduino project. NimBLE is an open source BLE stack fully compliant with the Bluetooth specification providing both host and controller functionalities. NimBLE is also part of the Apache MyNewt project. The ESP-IDF supports only a port of the NimBLE host stack and provides a different controller implementation.

I originally tried using the ESP32 blue BLE library. I ran out of memory. Switched to NimBLE-Arduino, an Arduino fork of Apache NimBLE, a replacement open-source BLE library https://github.com/h2zero/NimBLE-Arduino https://www.arduino.cc/reference/en/libraries/nimble-arduino/ https://h2zero.github.io/esp-nimble-cpp/md__migration_guide.html#autotoc_md46

I like NimBLE-Arduino, and this has a BLE client example that you can adapt to your needs, including both regular reads and notifications. Note that this isn't pure C++, this is using Arduino. There's also a version for use with ESP-IDF: esp-nimble-cpp, with a corresponding BLE client example. The examples for both projects are heavily commented and quite easy to follow.

On the ESP32 side, I use this repo for Bluetooth connectivity: https://github.com/h2zero/NimBLE-Arduino

u/Marijn_fly's is the cleanest solution I can think of but if you're ready to get your hands dirty, there's another BLE library called NimBLE that's massively smaller that the one you're using. Plus I'm an incompetent noob and I find it being easier to work with :D

I recently also looked into this and the NimBLE GitHub and examples helped me a lot to implement this. Source: https://github.com/h2zero/NimBLE-Arduino

Try to implement a driver myself using the NimBLE stack. However, I don't know where to start working with a BLE gamepad.

You indeed need an advertisement packet scanner. Arduino version could be e.g. this: https://github.com/h2zero/NimBLE-Arduino/blob/master/examples/BLE_Beacon_Scanner/BLE_Beacon_Scanner.ino
