Create a Portable IoT Display with ESP32
This is a portable IoT display project, which can be developed into various practical tools based on it and the Arduino_GFX library. For example, WiFi signal analysis, electronic photo albums, etc. With a well-designed 3D printed case, it can be easily hung on a keychain or backpack for portability.

Material List

  • TTGO T7 V1.0 (ESP32 WiFi Module) × 1
  • 2 inch IPS LCD × 1
  • 402035 Lipo Lithium Battery × 1
  • D-shaped climbing buckle × 1

3D Printed Case

Programming

Arduino IDE

If you have not installed the Arduino IDE before, you need to download and install it:https://www.arduino.cc/en/main/software

ESP32 Support

Follow the instructions in the link below to install ESP32 support:https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32

Arduino_GFX Library

Download the latest version of the Arduino_GFX library: (“Clone or Download” -> “Download ZIP”)https://github.com/moononournation/Arduino_GFX
Import this library in the Arduino IDE. (Arduino IDE “Sketch” Menu -> “Include Library” -> “Add .ZIP Library” -> Select the downloaded zip file)

Compile and Upload

  • Connect with a USB cable to your computer, open the Arduino IDE.

  • Open the ESPWiFiAnalyzer example code (“File” -> “Example” -> “Arduino_GFX” -> “ESPWiFiAnalyzer”)

  • Click the Arduino IDE “Upload” button.

  • The ESPWiFiAnalyzer.ino code file is also available for download at the end.

Completion

This 2-inch IoT display can not only be used for WiFi signal detection analysis, but the ESP32 also has many more possibilities. It’s time to unleash your imagination to make it more fun!
