#Solar panel with USB A connector is plugged into the #lilygo#tbeam USB micro power in port. The tbeam has a 16850 3400 mAh Li-Ion 3.7 V battery. The panel & tbeam are behind a velux roof window angled at the sky. The sun is shining well today, no clouds. The t-beam shows 4.2 V plugged in symbol in the #meshtastic app. When unplugged from the panel, the t-beam shows 100% charge.

This is test to see how long this lasts - there is no power management circuit.
There’s a neat new core library in CircuitPython: bitmapfilter. Originally designed for the PyCamera project, it’s got many useful operations for generative art stuff like I do in Processing/p5js. Here’s a start: random circles bluring away. note, it does require a fast processor like the ESP32-S3 as on this great Lilygo board.

Thanks @stylus for your work on this library! #CircuitPython#Processing#p5js#GenerativeArt#Lilygo
I’m not sure what caused the failure. Maybe static electricity when I handled the board, maybe I pushed too hard when I inserted it in the case (but I didn’t push hard).
I searched if the screen could be replaced but found no useful info. It is glued to the board.
Maybe I’ll repurpose the board for something that does not need a display.
@requiem@tomi I was able to unstick the the display from the board.
Looks good, not sure where the problem is.
Ordered a new one on #waveshare #esp32#lilygo
I had this #esp32#lilygo board laying in the drawer for more than 2 years. I tried several times to make the e-ink display work without success.
Today I flashed it again with latest #esphome firmware, stole some code from the web, tinkered for 2 hrs with yaml and lambdas and whatnot and suddenly... it's alive!
(there will be a blog post, but not today, too tired)
I've had my eye on this #ESP32 kit from #LilyGo for a while now but haven't purchased it because the device didn't have a back cover. Well, now they're selling them with a full shell!
It's basically an ESP32 #FlipperZero at this point and I am here for it. (Yes, I know it doesn't have all the Flipper's hardware features)
My little LCARS CO2 sensor display on a LilyGo T-AMOLED. Mostly I have no idea what to do with this ESP32-S3 device, but it's smöl and pretty as hell. #esp32#esp32s3#startrek
I am enjoying playing with the eInk Watchy. It is a cute package and is everything I want in a Smart-Watch; geeky, long battery life, and not obnoxious. But - fuck me! - the documentation is atrocious! Well, that's a lie. There is no documentation. I has the "Chat to us on Discord" anti-pattern that […]
@Edent awesome! Is there any way to incorporate GPS into #watchy ?
Because I've seen that #LILYGO
T-Wrist E-paper has such feature, but haven't seen any reviews.
