Sensor saturation has become reality
Connected devices are no longer an innovation, rather an expectation. Sensor saturation has become reality. There is absolutely nothing special about connecting a device to the internet and collecting data from it anymore.#IoT as a buzzword describing the future is probably dead?

Pushing an ILI9341 TFT to its limits with 60MHz DMA-enabled

Pushing an ILI9341 TFT to its limits with 60MHz DMA-enabled SPI on #ESP32 Correction: SPI can only run on 80/n frequencies [n between 1 and 8], so 8MHz, 8.89MHz, 10MHz, 11.43MHz, 16MHz, 20MHz, 26.67MHz, 40MHz, 80MHz . Setting SPI clock to 60MHz actually meant it got mapped to 40MHz, anything>60MHz meant setting to 80MHz. That…

ESP32 TFT project with a resistive touchscreen

Did another PCB revision to my #ESP32 TFT project to allow the use of a resistive touchscreen. Did that after seeing my daughter push the screen on a prototype of my non-touch version with a finger in an attempt to use the GUI.. obviously, button-controlled GUI is not intuitive

RTS/CTS for ESP8266 ESP32 auto-reset
Interesting http://esptool.py wrapper that lets you use RTS/CTS for #ESP8266 / #ESP32 auto-reset on firmware flashing instead of the usual RTS/DTR method. Saves a few components thus reducing project cost. Description and code here https://github.com/jimparis/esptool-ftdi
