Re: TTGO T-WATCH-2020

Micropython as a language is fine. It's the priority and support within the ESP32 hardware ecosystem; it's all going first to C/ C++. That's the truth today. I'm not going to tell you micro-p is better; it's very situational. For me it requires a lot of trial-error learning. If you're super comfy wi...

Re: touch driver for ttgo watch 2020

Grab the focaltouch driver from Franz Schaefers' repo at https://gitlab.com/mooond/t-watch2020-esp32-with-micropython/-/blob/master/focaltouch.py and copy it to your watch. See https://github.com/russhughes/st7789_mpy/blob/master/examples/watch_draw.py for a simple drawing program example. As usual...

touch driver for ttgo watch 2020

Looking for some guidance how to source/ install the FT6236 driver for the above ESP-32-based watch, that will work on micropython.

Aware of this site https://github.com/OPHoperHPO/lilygo-tt ... icropython that includes the build. The driver seems to be embedded with lvgl.

Well, well, well... Is there any simple way to change the font size? It seems to me there is only one font in one size hardcoded in a file, using https://gitlab.com/mooond/t-watch2020-e ... icropython
This may help: https://github.com/peterhinch/micropython-font-to-py

Re: Brightness control on ST7789C/ AXP202

The docs I read say the blacklight is driven off the axp202c LDO2 and it's voltage is configurable between 1800mv (1.8v) and 3300mv (3.3v). I have not tried this but you could try using setLDO2Voltage to change the voltage driving the backlight. axp = axp202c.PMU() axp.enablePower(axp202c.AXP202_LD...

Re: TTGO T-WATCH-2020

Ha thanks guys... Downloading Thonny... Installing Thonny... Done. Rhaa, how to flash... Found! Firmware injected and now I have a Shell. Screen is black, but I'will find (maybe). Edit: ok, I am starting to play with it. First steps are difficult. But Ok, I can write something on the screen. Next s...

Brightness control on ST7789C/ AXP202

Have a TTgo 2020 watch (very cool) running on Russ' micropython firmware ( https://github.com/russhughes/st7789_mpy ). Trying to lighten power consumption by dimming (not blanking/ turning power off) the screen. Does anyone have ideas how to do this? There are suggestions to lower the PWM, but I don...

Re: TTGO T-WATCH-2020

Well thanks, but same story. I have to manage my frustration. I've done some things with Arduino but I really love python and I really want to do something with it. Thonny (Windows app) simplifies the firmware upload: you need only select the COM port and firmware file and they do the rest. https:/...
