 Before I go any further, I want to check in with you about my audio levels and general audio health because I had to switch out some equipment and that always makes me a little nervous as far as sound stuff goes. So what I'm going to do is check the chat for a moment and see if I can get any feedback about that. I see C Grover is over in our Discord chat. Speaking of Discord chat, if you're wondering where is the chat, who am I talking to? Well, I'm keeping an eye on our YouTube chat as well as this thing right here. This is our Discord. If you want to join in the chat and you're over on Twitch or somewhere else like that, just head to adafrew.it, that's a-d-a-f-r-u dot i-t, see it's adafruit but with a little dot, a couple of letters early, adafruit.it slash Discord, you can then jump into our Discord server and look for the live broadcast chat channel and that is our, that's the place to be. Okay, let's see, we've got a little feedback, thank you, hey thin man, I was here last week for this show, yeah I missed on Thursday but I'm feeling much better now, thank you. Todd said the video, the voice levels are lower than the intro song, well sure, yeah let's see if we can boost that without breaking anything so I'm gonna give this a little extra gain and a little, there we are, we're just reaching just below clipping level, I just don't want to get it all howling and nutty but it's worth, I think it's worth the effort to get this taken care of so thank you for your patience with me as we get this going, all right I've goosed that a little bit and yeah give me some feedback and I will move on with things now, so first of all, if you want to go to the place to be for today's product pick, that's the URL right there, go to that product id or head to that QR code if you're into that sort of thing, if you want to point gizmos at symbols that'll do it, thank you, yeah feedback on the audio is that's even better, perfect, all right I will mark those settings later, try not to touch them, head to this URL, this video right here, this live stream is happening right inside the product page so you can watch it from within there and you can be poised to purchase if this product is something you're into, there's no coupon code necessary, you just throw it or it and nine more of its friends because you can get up to 10 of them during this, you can just throw them in your cart and get them before the end of the show, so it's a special discount we do just during the show, just on this product, you want to usually get it taken care of within a few minutes of the end of the show before the price goes back up and today's product is half off and it's a good one, it's a doozy, what a price this is for this, but before I hype it up any more, let me let Lady Aida jump in here from the past and tell you all about it, so take it away Lady Aida. The ESP32 S3 Reverse TFT, so many words and letters there, it's a ESP32 S3 feather as you can see here and so let's look at the back first, so the back is the front, the front is the back, okay so this is your ESP32 S3 mini module, four megabytes of flash, two megabytes of PS RAM, dual core 240 megahertz 10 silica processor with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth low energy, it does not have Bluetooth classic by the way, but it's the latest S3 and then you've got all the little accessories that you would want on that back and I'll show this on the overhead, it's got USB-C for data and power, it's got a LiPo battery that charges automatically, reset button, a 7qT port for iSquared C, two 3.3 volt regulators, one for the iSquared C port, one for the main board, so you can have like ultra low battery usage and power max 17 048 battery monitor, so you can check your state of charge, a little Neopixel for Neopixeling and then all the GPIO you need iSquared C analog input, SPI, UR, etc GPIO plenty and then on the flip side you get a 240 by 135 pixel IPS display, very tiny display with again the reset button is also on the front because it's useful and three GPIO 0, 1, and 2 connected to buttons that you can press and you can press them to make it do stuff, so I can actually show on the overhead, so on the overhead you can see the buttons you know I press D1, D0, D2, so we already have an ESP32 S2, this is just the S3 version so it's actually kind of you know the same pinout and everything, reset is handy because you can enter the bootloader, although I don't think I'll enter the bootloader because it will, so there's a UF2 bootloader already programmed in for drag and drop of course you can erase it, this works with Arduino and circuit python because we have support for both of those modules and the reason I like the reverse mount style is that you can put like a feather on top but then the TFT isn't blocked, right so if you want a feather wing you want to add a GPS or real-time clock or lower radio and then you still have the TFT on the front, shift this down a little bit, you still have the TFT on the front with some buttons that you can use to have it do different things, display status, sensor output, battery warnings, et cetera and yeah I think this is great for IoT projects, we'll have whipper, snapper support and again like I said circuit python and Arduino, all in one, I mean you can do a lot of projects with no soldering just plug in the stem and QT in the back and you have buttons in a display, yes indeed that is it, look look there it is right there, I'm holding it up but I'm gonna put that down and flip it and reverse it because that right there is the product pick of the week this week it is the ESP32S3 reverse TFT feather, this is a feather board but it's also a display, we've got a display on the bottom side of it or the back side of it as well as three user buttons and a boot or rather a reset button, button zero can be used as boot and if you flip it here it looks like hey kind of a normal ESP32S3 feather, really great particularly for projects where you want to integrate this into a panel, you want an incredibly small little, it's basically a display that happens to have a microcontroller dev board bolted to the back of it which is pretty impressive, let me jump over to the page here, here's the page for it, you can see we've got this on this incredible discount right now, it is $12.47, that is a lot of microcontroller for your buck, we've got on here a 1.14 inch diagonal TFT IPS display which means it's beautiful from all sorts of angles, in fact let me plug this one in while I'm talking about it, I've got the basic demo on there right now with that one, so you can see that right there, it is a 240 by 135 pixel display, you can add feather wings to the top of it without blocking the screen, this is one of the reasons that LeMore came up with this idea, is that you can go ahead and put some either direct solder or use some header pins if you want and plonk on the critical feather wing for your use or you can go ahead and plug things into i2c using the stem of qt port there, this has also got battery charging battery power so you can use usb or you can use the lipo battery there to get your board up and running and you can charge it right through the usb if you want, we have built-in native usb on this chip, it has 2.4 gigahertz wi-fi, it also has ble, no bluetooth classic but ble is typically what you want, someone asked in the chat about it, we use ble for a lot of hid projects for wireless midi types of projects, you can control media players with it, there's a lot of cool ble projects but it is not bluetooth classic, one of the main differences I think is bluetooth classic is often used for actual beaming of music and sound wirelessly so this does not do that, at least not through the bluetooth classic, what else has it got, 4 megs of flash, 2 megs of ps ram has this nice spi display which is really good and fast there, if you take a look at the product page here and scroll down a bit you can click on a link for the learn guide here as well as a project guide using this board, it's a pretty new board so we don't have a lot of projects with it, however most of the s2 esp32 s2 projects particularly reverse tft feather projects will work on this board, so here is the main guide, it will give you all of the stats and relevant info and tell you how to get up and running with it for all of your connectors, power management as well setting it up with circuit python or arduino, you can also code it wirelessly using pi leap, I actually have a project here that I initially used the pi leap program on iOS to upload, this is from a project from trevor and I just modified it a little bit, hey whoa sorry wrong button, I just modified this a little bit to have a different graphic on there but this is an iot clock so this is using a time server and wi-fi to keep itself in sync so this should be exactly 112 if I look at any of my other sort of internet clock connected devices just turn to 113 and this one just shows off the tft with an adorable little couple of pictures of lars there also in respect to the original project which has a blankachan from street fighter on it he's got his blankachan t-shirt there or a sleeveless shirt there because he's lars and he wants to go sleeveless I don't blame him so there you can see we've got I don't have any functionality on these buttons on this demo here we can reset right there so that's your typical reset button that'll just take a moment for it to go and hop online we'll see yeah you did it it found the internet so I have a wireless router here that is jumping on and grabbing that info from otherwise it looks like your your typical feather with all of the many many GPIO pins available for lots and lots of things you can see this little antenna built into the edge there here is another demo I wanted to show you in fact someone said in the chat I think it was cgrover said hey you can also mount these vertically for euro rack this is a project I did this is actually the previous version or the the s3 it's not really the previous version but it's a different version I had mounted this into a little euro rack compatible panel you could do the exact same thing with our s3 there it's the same same board size feather standard holes for dimensions for the holes there but there it is mounted vertically so you can see you got a little access to your buttons and the screen there I'll throw this under the under the down shooter so you can take a look at that let's see okay and focus that you can see I have it kind of doing random little random stuff there and when I press these buttons I'm changing the colors of the the different elements there so there there's a s2 version but this will work with the s3 the same way so you can see on this demo here you can press the buttons to get a little feedback on those if you plug in i-square c devices you will see their address show up on there as well as if you have battery plugged in let me grab a battery i'll steal it from this other project here plug that battery in there and now we're getting we should be getting our hey it's 101 charge that's a very well charged battery you can see it's giving me four volts right now that should that should start to drop as we as we leave that on there uh and if you want to take a look at the code that's running on this one so this is uh this is this project here I mentioned the reverse tft digital clock display featuring blankachan blankachan that's hard to say for me if we switch over to uh code view here this is the modified version of it so I just had to basically point it at some different um graphic files and I adjusted the the text layout just a little bit to fit this nicely and here's my code view so this is circuit python here and as far as some of the online stuff you can see we're grabbing ssl wi-fi socket pool eight of fruit requests this is allowing us to go and ask a time server for the time and then some wi-fi radio setup going on here we have the world clock api that we're grabbing time from and look at the display setup this is so easy on this because it's integrated into the board we know in the board definition exactly what display there's here so I say display equals board dot display I don't have to tell it much else other than that I'm going to go ahead and display use display i o for throwing up that on disk bitmap there create a tile grid from it and then I'm using a text text labels on top of that and this just is updating it changing the image out every five seconds and checking the time to make sure that we are current so that's a really nice easy clock project you can do let's see do we have any questions over in the chat let's see cables yes mqt cables have been out of stock hopefully we'll catch up on those I've noticed the same I get them when I see them available I grab a couple um let's see someone asked in the chat uh I can bring back the discord here someone asked about the can bus or the can device pins brought out uh Rufus would like to hook this up to a can network uh and Todd posted that the schematics are posted uh in the learn guide there's a download page if you check out uh pretty much any any learn guide towards the end of the guide where's the there's the guide uh there'll be a downloads link and if you click that you will find uh the chip data sheet as well as uh fabrication and and schematic diagrams uh Todd said looking at that diagram uh the s3 pins are all brought out so that should um should be able to give you can you might want to ask uh in the chat uh in project help as well uh to see if anyone knows for sure uh let's see I think that is it however so head to that URL right there that'll take you to the product page good grief what is that guy doing there uh you can get them right now for 12 dollars 47 cents we have them in stock I know we stashed uh at least 100 of them before the show so you should be able to to get them now before the time runs out uh and that is going to do it so there we go how about that one that right there is my product pick of the week this week it is the esp 32 s3 reverse tft feather for ate a fruit industries I'm john park this has been jp's product pick of the week thank you all so much for stopping by and I will see you next time bye bye
