Today on Funkyhome.de we show you step by step how to program an ESP32 microcontroller and use it to create interesting projects. In the following instructions we will present the necessary hardware and programs to build a display that shows the departure times of any bus or streetcar line of the Vienna public transport system in real time at home.
Thanks for the support …
Thanks for the support to Daniel.
We use the practical LILYGO T-Display-S3 complete set for the departure display. It includes the ESP32-S3 microcontroller, the display and a compact plastic housing.
Here you can buy the LILYGO T-Display-S3 Set. *Ad
This is what it’s all about …
Microcontrollers are currently enjoying great popularity, as the vast number of sensors, displays etc. means that almost any electronic project can be realized in an individual way. However, without the appropriate training and prior knowledge, it is difficult to get started with microcontroller programming. This is exactly where we want to start with our microcontroller programming instructions and use an example to show what the requirements are for the successful implementation of such a project. In the following workshop, we will present the hardware and programs required to build a display that shows the departure times of any Vienna bus or streetcar line in real time at home. Incidentally, there are similar tutorials for KVV and MVV departures in Germany. We have already explained a few very basic tutorials for easy entry into the ESP IoT world in various ESP guides.
The delivery of the Lilygo T-Display-S3 …
The Lilygo T-Display-S3 is supplied fully assembled and ready to use. All buttons on the microcontroller board can be operated via buttons in the housing and the USB-C port is also easily accessible.
