0.66 inch OLED Module 64×48 I2C SSD1317

, October 13, 2023

I have this tiny 0.66in OLED display bought from AliExpress, The store page says it is using SSD1317 driver but I could not find anything for SSD1317 except for its datasheet also the datasheet used a 128×64 display, not the one I am using which is 64×48. I have used it with U8G3 library with the constructor U8G2_SSD1306_64X48_ER_F_SW_I2C with no […]

Cheap DIY Stream deck alternative

Cheap DIY Stream deck alternative

, March 29, 2023

In this blog post, I share my experience of building a cheap DIY Stream deck alternative using FreeTouchDeck, an open-source project maintained by Dustin Watts. The project saved me hours of writing code and was a ready-to-use project that only required compatible hardware. I used a 2.4in TFT LCD using ILI9341 driver with resistive touch, an ESP32-WROOM-32 bare module, an ESP32 breakout board, and a CH340 Programmer. After some challenges with soldering and programming, the Stream deck alternative was ready to use, and I even used the box that the LCD came in as an enclosure.

ESP32-S3-WROOM-1, ESP32-C3-WROOM-2 and ATTinyXX4 – 3 in one development board

, April 2, 2023

Here is a custom-designed 3-in-one development board that I recently designed. The board supports any of the 3 MCUs, Also ESP32 should work but the pinouts will be different. The board includes a 3.3v LDO regulator, and USB micro, with native USB for ESP32s. Pinout for UART as well as UPDI for ATTiny. Two headers […]

Writing data files to flash memory of ESP32

Writing data files to flash memory of ESP32

, March 31, 2023

There are several reasons why you would want to write some data files to an ESP32 or similar MCU’s flash memory. In most of the projects, we need to work with configurations that we don’t want to hard code in our code. One of the most common use cases with ESP32 or similar MCUs is […]

DIY Auto sleep feature for a Cheap Multimeter (without a microcontroller)

DIY Auto sleep feature for a Cheap Multimeter (without a microcontroller)

, March 29, 2023

This is a DIY project to make your cheap Multimeter which you forget to turn off and the next time you try to use it and the battery is fully drained. That happened to me a lot. This circuit can be used on any low-power device, not just a multimeter.
