Review on πŸ“± Seeed Studio ESP32 Development Board with 3.5in Multi-Touch LCD Screen - Bluetooth/WiFi, GUI Firmware, Dual-core MCU - Buy Now! by Hank Mistretta

Revainrating 2 out of 5

HV is good. Toolchain developer software is terrible

1. HW is great. Small profile, LCD display and touch screen work well.2. Then try the online GUI tool and it works and LVGL works fine3. Then you want to write something that can do something besides a GUI, forget the online tool, really bad, you can only reasonably create a GUI with that. Then the VC Code IDE does not work. The Arduino works, but only on some of the examples, and you'll be lucky enough to get one of the LVGL examples working. All in all I hope that one day I can make good use of HW if there is decent support. Until then I've spent hours getting it to do something worthwhile, like even connecting to a time server so I can turn it into a clock.

Pros
  • even old fashioned can understand
Cons
  • No color required
