  • Best way to use ST7789 in ESPIDF?
    8 projects | /r/esp32 | 31 Mar 2023
    ST7789 is a MIPI DCS chip so you can use HAGL with MIPI DCS HAL. There are a couple of examples and a video or two. Also sorry for blatant self promotion.
  • M5 Stack Core 2 Power Control Library for ESP-IDF and Arduino
    3 projects | /r/esp32 | 22 Mar 2023
    There is also a platform agnostic I2C driver for AXP192. For most sensors etc drivers only thing that changes between platforms are the io functions. I have been using this with M5Stack Core2 for a while. It is a bit annoying board to initialize. Especially because you need to initialize the AXP192 first before you can initialize the display.

    You could just buy ready-made ESP32 boards with an OV2640 camera built-in, then customize the example sketch from https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/tree/master/libraries/ESP32/examples/Camera/CameraWebServer to your liking.

    That has not been my experience at all as a user. ESPHome is even easier than Arduino and I haven’t touched firmware code in years.

    The price makes a huge difference when you have dozens of them operating which is trivial with a decent hydroponics and smarthome setup. I also have a dozen boards just sitting idle ready to be called up to replace a failed one or use for a new project because they’re so cheap.

    Not to mention the Arduino core is supported officially by ESP32: https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32

    Who actually uses Arduino in production? Everyone just uses modules (for ESP32) or rolls their own using the Arduino board as a reference.

    They've done a good job of hiding the RTOS from you and making most sketches run fine without porting, but you're still running as a task under the RTOS, yielding between loop() calls[1]. This leads to mysterious timing issues if you aren't aware of it[2]

    It doesn't appear that the Arduino core for the Renesas chip is using the RTOS, at least by default -- its main loop is literally doing while (1) { loop(); }, similar to how the AVR core works. [3, 4]

      1. https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/blob/72c41d09538663ebef80d29eb986cd5bc3395c2d/cores/esp32/main.cpp#L45
