Hi- My question is related to- how to make best use of this training course for the ESP32 Cheap Yellow Display.
I am new to microprocessors, I do have some other exposure to code and electronics but not specifically any microprocessor. I have been studying and working with Arduino IDE (some vs code), and using both arduino and esp32 hardware for about 2 weeks. I have done the basic breadboard LED control with potentiometer, and uploaded multiple demo sketches to my CYD; I can read and understand most of what I see in the sketches but again, its all new to me.
I had no problems getting to module 1.8 – Testing the Display, I understand the libraries, and configuration. But… I am a little surprised of how technical the very first example is, diving into the LVGL functions, it seems fairly involved just to print hello world centered in the screen. As a beginner, I can read the explanations/comments, and I do comprehend them, although I certainly have not committed these functions to memory after seeing them one time.
Working through this module did give me a good understanding of “what is under the hood”, but by no means would I be able to re-create anything close to similar if only using my memory.
My question is- Is my breif exposure to module 1.8 as I have described sufficient to move on? If not, what level of comprehension do I need to achieve before moving on and how would you suggest I go about further understanding and memorizing the required LVGL functions? While working through the module, I was searching the LVGL documentation for additional information; this did help further my understanding of “what is under the hood” but again, I still currently do not have any retained knowledge sufficient to build a sketch like the demonstration in module 1.8.
Please advise if this is normal and ok to proceed, or if I need to spend more time in each module in order to eventually achieve proficiency utilizing the CYD for DIY projects.
