📱 Seeed Studio ESP32 Development Board with 3.5in Multi-Touch LCD Screen - Bluetooth/WiFi, GUI Firmware, Dual-core MCU - Buy Now! Review

Absolutely no documentation, the web ide you have to run is entirely in Chinese, you can't even translate it via google, all the preconfigured apps are average at best and there wasn't even an option to create a button interface, so is it just a gui that does literally nothing, can't assign gpio in any way, and ide had microtransactions for everything else. SEEED does some really cool stuff, but this is NOT one of them, GIVEN BACK.

No documentation. Obviously works with an online tool called 8ms, but makes no concessions to those of us who prefer to use the extensive ESP32 toolkits available. Don't waste money.

The product is so poorly documented that it cannot be used. The Arduino support is buggy so you have to use the web app (login + password) to write your code. Who knows when the web app will be gone, who will have access to your code, and so on. This is a terrible product with no documentation. It can't even be returned since it's in the US. They charge shipping to China and charge restocking fees making this entire purchase a waste of time and money and not returned. I'll keep it in case tools

Apparently no example code, UI broken and allegedly inefficient. Its incompatibility with common GFX libraries like TFT_eSPI doesn't make it very useful, although the hardware looks nice.

This product looks promising online but the documentation is useless and the only way to make changes to the device seems to be through a Chinese web application. At first I thought that using VS Code with the ESP-IDF extension would work to implement the UI, but that's not possible. I also tried the LVGL tools and that didn't help either. At first glance, this might seem like a good buy, but it's actually just a paperweight. Too bad, I thought it would be a good tool for my automated home bar.

The product is so poorly documented that you can't do anything with it. The Arduino support is buggy so you have to use the web app (login + password) to write your code, who knows when the web app will be removed, who has access to your code and so on. This is a terrible product with no documentation. Can't even return it as it's based in the US, they charge for shipping back to China and charge restocking fees throughout the purchase. Waste of time and money, don't go back. I'll keep it in…

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…
