M5Stack implementation roadmap

tobozo commented 4 years ago

As per request I'll leave here the steps needed to get the ESP32Marauder to work on the M5Stack.

Replace TFT_eSPI by ESP32-Chimera-Core (also supersedes TouchButton and JPEGDecoder)
Move all drawButton() methods outside TouchButton so it can be re-used by non-touch inputs
Create HID strategy (must be agnostic on the HID source)
Rewrite the existing Touch support in a pluggable format
Disable touch support (won't be loaded by TFT_eSPI)
Enable button support in a pluggable format

Random observations:

Some HID event detection is still handled from within WiFiScan.cpp, should be moved to MenuFunction
Enabling all compiler warnings makes the build fail, Display.cpp probably needs a complete rewrite
code still contains #ifdef ESP8266 statements and will be cleaned up, this can't end up with a clean PR
Free_Fonts.h has too many different versions going around for not being included in this project
PROGMEM keyword is ignored on ESP32, it is redundant with const
None of the WiFiScan.cpp callbacks should ever draw or read touch => will probably need to be rewritten to use asynchroneous signals or mutexes

@justcallmekoko how about you create a gitter from this project so we can talk about these issues without spamming your userbase ?

Created the gitter. Closing this issue to continue there.

I am interested in the M5Stack implemenation -- Any more notes or development on this?

tobozo commented 4 years ago

@elixx just a proof of concept with partial button support so far, at the time of writing the code, implementing buttons was done by partially removing the touch logic and replacing TFT_eSPI by ESP32-Chimera-Core

A complete UI rewrite is probably necessary to get all touch functionalities triggered by buttons, and I'm not sure the M5Stack has enough of them.

TTGO-Twatch is probably a better "other" platform for this project, will get one soon in the mailbox and post feedback here :-)

elixx commented 4 years ago

Yeah, I had similar thoughts about the lack of buttons, but was happy to see someone tread similarly, already. TTGO-Twatch looks fancy!

Does that mean that the new one M5Stack Core2 will work better. They are saying it has a capacitive touch screen

pramady101 commented 3 years ago

Any further update on this? I'm hoping I can run maurader on a core 2?
