ESP32 Cheap Yellow Display #1

Hello!

Super nice project! I really like your GUI and I am sure many will enjoy building one as soon as your repository gets noticed by the radioactivity comunity.

Have you considered upscaling the display to a ESP32 Cheap Yellow Display such as the 2.8 inch (ESP32-2432S028R)? For about ten bucks you get good visibility, an SD slot and touch screen.

I would try this hardware myself but unfortunately I only know how to use Arduino Ide, no other programming tools Still... if I may help in any way...

Regards Federico

Thank you Frederico. The board you suggest would certainly allow for more features like a displayed graph and even logging to the SD card. However, for me, this was a one-and-done type of project. I now have my geiger counter. It does what I want, so I'm unlikely to extend it further. I published my work, however, just in case it might be helpful to others.

You say you only know Arduino, but I would suggest to you that moving to using the Espressif IDE is not that hard and there are lots of resources on the web for you to study. Don't be afraid to try :-)
