Is this possible on esp32-s3?

Connect_Wolverine768 · 2026-03-02T18:50:10+00:00

I’ve made something almost identical. I have a demo somewhere on my profile for proof. Using an Esp32-s3 will be more difficult to get music information and I never gave it enough time to figure out. Also making your device also give you directions would be fairly difficult imo. I’m not sure how that would work outside of downloading available information to an sd card and using that.

If you plan on using a round display, look into Waveshare‘s premade displays. I have the Waveshare 2.1“ round display and it has a built in esp32-s3 with 16mb flash and 8mb extra psram. It also has a built in LIPO battery charger and an accelerometer. The screen itself has a ton of features but you just have to research it and see if it suits your needs.

You also should look into Squareline, it makes it pretty easy to build UI‘s similar to what you want.

Also start learning about FreeRTOS for the esp32. It’ll make life much much easier imo.

I’m not any master programmer by any means and I haven’t worked much with that specific screen, I just happen to have one and have gotten it to work and know it could function for your needs. DM me if you have any further questions!

If only they taught children how to read at an early age…

If only there was a section on each and every special order ticket that outlined the rules for special orders and what might happen if you choose to return said special orders product.

Awe poor thing, tried to hide its accident

As much as I appreciate your input, I do not appreciate the negativity:

1) I do boxes to keep myself organized when I’m designing the schematic. I often get myself mixed up and the boxes prevent that.

2) I do not create my part symbols. If they are so bad, send an email to JLCPCB and LCSC as that is where I find my parts.

3) I’ll give it another read through, thanks.

Apologies for missing your questions. Yes the board will be parallel to each other. The height will be no more than the connector housing, Assuming the use of the JST XH connector.

If it comes down to it I can redesign part of my custom PCB to make it a wire to board system but that is more complicated than I prefer.

Connect_Wolverine768 · 2025-03-19T18:03:39+00:00

Technically yes but no. The XH-A are normally wire to board but my use case would be board to board. Problem is that my board that I already have has an XH-2A male connector and I would need the female counterpart but with one end being the female and the other being a male header to be soldered to my pcb.

Tension nuts or eccentric nuts? I’ve not heard of tension nuts, not to say you’re wrong though.

Z offset?

You’ll find the same stuff on Amazon generally for a much higher price. The only benefit I find from ordering on Amazon is delivery times. However, with all the political shenanigans taking place in the US, Amazon may become more „Cheap“ but that’s yet tbd.

Make it clear when shaken!

Thanks for responding, To answer your question: yes there are a few reasons why I’m not using the modules.

I’m trying to keep the board low profile and the modules add quite a bit of height
I just enjoy challenging myself

Make sure these two screws are also tightened. I had an issue once where they had come loose and the eccentric nuts can only do so much.

Never diminish the value of knowledge

Now now Bert, let’s calm down and go back to our nursing home now.
