That was a replica of an ancient Egyptian sling with a woven pouch and braided cords. I'm not sure I have the patience to make another one of those (or practice aiming with it) but it's an interesting idea.
Do they make one with more GPIO connections? That's my main reservation about this sort of display with integrated CPU - there's barely any connections to the outside world. Also, can it use a standard Arduino graphics library, like the Adafruit one? The one being used for the demo is really slow.
I'm curious whether it's feasible to power the Vbat pin separately by modifying the Minima R4 board, possibly by disconnecting it from the 3.3V rail. could you please make a video of it
Make a bunch of TH-cam videos (for free) and you may get a few freebies 😉 Probably more efficient to just buy one... Some companies (Elecrow included) do have sponsorship programs where you can apply for free/discount PCBs in exchange for doing a blog/video/whatever
I wonder why everything is so slow and can it be speeded up? Is it trouble with ESP32 or is there something with the controller that displays the image on the screen?
I'm not sure what to expect with these kinds of displays. I figured it was a software bloat issue rather than a problem with this board specifically, but I'll take a closer look at that next time I work on it.
You can find the display here: www.elecrow.com/esp32-display-5-inch-hmi-display-rgb-tft-lcd-touch-screen-support-lvgl.html?idd=3
Cool. I went and bought one myself. I hope to follow along with your series. Oh...and glad your back! ;-)
I know it's off topic, but I'd like to see how you made that sling (jute twine weaved). Maybe in a future project...

Great example! Where can I request one for free, too? :D
