Interesting!

There is an ESP32 with a built in 320 x 240 2.8" LCD display with a touch screen called the “ESP32-2432S028R”, since this doesn’t roll of the tongue, I propose it should be renamed the “Cheap Yellow Display” or CYD for short. This display is only about $15 delivered so I think it’s really good value.

The CYD has the following features:

  • ESP32 (With Wifi and Bluetooth)
  • 320 x 240 LCD Display (2.8")
  • Touch Screen (Resistive)
  • USB for powering and programming
  • SD Card Slot, LED and some additional pins broken out

5 members attending and two first-time visitors this time

Mostly discussing trouble with an Ender 5 refusing to feed filament (it has an third party aftermarket motherboard)

A bit of chat about Tech Shed - what we do, what we might do, our origin story.

Bath Uni apparently have a student makerspace. (And Bath and Bristol UWEs do too…)

Other topics too, I’m sure, but I forget.
