Install

Clone this repository and open it with platformIO. Build and upload. On a terminal in vscode you can do it with

pio run -t upload

or simple press "build and upload" in platformIO.

known issues

• the webserver crashes the ESP32 really often
• sound and webserver will not work at the same time ( cause cache crashes )
• the battery indicator is not accurate, rather a problem with the power management unit ( axp202 )
• from time to time the esp32 crashes accidentally
• and some other small things

how to use

On startup you see the main screen (time tile). It show the time and the current weather (if correct configure). Now you can swipe with you fingers up, down, left and right between the four main screens. The four screens are organized in time, apps, note and setup tile. For the weather app you need an openweather.com api-id. http://openweathermap.org/appid is a good starting point.

for the programmers

Internal RAM is very limited, use PSRAM as much as possible. When you work with ArduinoJson, include this

#include "hardware/json_psram_allocator.h"

and create your json with

SpiRamJsonDocument doc( 1000 );

to move your json into PSRAM, here is enough RAM for all the crazy stuff you will do. And use

ps_malloc(), ps_calloc() and ps_realloc()

as often as possible. And one very important thing: Do not talk directly to the hardware!

Sound

To play sounds from the inbuild speakers use hardware/sound.h:

#include "hardware/sound.h"
[...]
// MP3 from SPIFFS:
// void sound_play_spiffs_mp3( const char *filename );
// example:
sound_play_spiffs_mp3( "/sound.mp3" )

// or WAV from PROGMEM via
//void sound_play_progmem_wav( const void *data, uint32_t len );

There is a configuration tile to enable/disable all sound output and set the global volume.

how to make a screenshot

The firmware has an integrated webserver. Over this a screenshot can be triggered. The image has the format RGB565 and can be read with gimp. From bash it look like this

wget x.x.x.x/shot ; wget x.x.x.x/screen.565
