[EN] Try the SoftHost USB library for ESP32.

jarutex

This article is an example of using nathalis‘s ESP32 Soft Host to try and test it on an OLED display with a resolution of 128×64 dots as shown in Figure 1 to receive data from a keyboard or mouse, it uses only a few GPIO pins but receives data from a keyboard with a large number of keys. Normally, the ESP32 microcontroller does not support a direct USB connection, so it requires programming by using a timer to check the status of the pins D- and D+ to be assembled into data at the byte level and assembled into packs of data for further interpretation.

[EN] Collecting flags in a maze

jarutex

This article is an example of writing a game. Move the character to walk in the maze to collect flags that are randomly positioned as shown in Figure 1, where the character will walk in the specified channel and can’t penetrate the wall. With a warning sound when trying to walk in an impossible location and when walking in any direction will change the image of the character to turn the face to that direction. In addition, pressing A will randomize the position of the new flag, pressing B will randomize the player’s position, and pressing D will exit the program. The board for use is still dCoreML4M as before, let’s get started.

[EN] The dCore-espWST

jarutex

This article recommends using the esp8266 to read temperature and humidity from the DHT11 sensor, the voltage from the LDR sensor, received from the switch, and display via OLED with MicroPython’s Python language, this feature is the dCore-espWST board we are using (Which in the previous article we used the dCore-esp32WST with the same design, but using esp32, but the program code can still be used with the model board) and is a board for use in teaching IoT subjects. The prototype structure of the board is as shown in Figure 1, which is normally used with a battery power supply unit with a solar panel charging circuit.

[EN] 15-Puzzle Game

jarutex

This article is an example of a 15-Puzzle game using the ml4m board with the results shown in Figure 1. It is a game that allows players to practice their strategic thinking skills, looking ahead to plan their shifting numbers. In addition to being in the form of numbers, it can also be changed from numbers to images, that is, transformed into an image and divided into 16 parts, and then allow the player to move the image to make it the same as the original. Also in the example, a buzzer is used to generate a beep sound using an 8-bit DAC of an esp32 microcontroller, as well as programming in Python on MicroPython.

[EN] ESP32-ML4M : Tic-Tac-Toe Ep.2

jarutex

From the article Tic-Tac-Toe games or OC games played with computers (esp32) via the console of the terminal program are inconvenient. Now let’s learn how to use the esp32 peripheral circuit of the ML4M board (Figure 1), how it has an I/O circuit and how is Tic-Tac-Toe game is played through the device in which the code works with the joystick module and touch switch.

[EN] Tic-Tac-Toe

jarutex

This article is a collection of examples of Tic-Tac-Toe games that our team uses to teach game development in different languages ​​as appropriate for the group of learners. But most of them use Python for teaching because it is easier to explain and write than other languages. In addition to wanting to see how it can be implemented on other platforms, we used an example with the MicroPython of a board we named ml4m. Based on this board, TensorFlow Lite is installed on an ESP32 with a 4MB ROM. The board looks like Figure 1.

[EN] Temperature and humidity indicator bar

jarutex

This article is an example program for cases where you want to display the temperature and humidity bar as shown in Figure 1 with MicroPython and esp32 board with OLED. How to write? The equipment in this experiment used DHT22 as a humidity and temperature measurement device. The board is connected to the I2C bus to communicate with the OLED via pins GPIO4 and GPIO5 for SCL and SDA respectively. At the same time, the signal pin of DHT22 is connected to pin GPIO15 for communication between the sensor and the microcontroller.

[EN] u8g2 Library

jarutex

From the article on using the ESP8266 with an OLED graphical display written in Python, you’ll find that it’s fast and easy but when used with other microcontrollers that cannot use Micropython or CircuitPython, what must be done? One of the many options is the u8glib or u8g2 (Universal 8 bit Graphics Library) libraries, designed to work with monochromatic 8-bit graphics over either I2C or SPI communication. In this article, we are using I2C OLED as shown in Figure 1.
