Dear Rui and Sara,
I purchased both LVGL and Learn ESP32 eBooks and I think they’re great!
I have some suggestions on topics to include in the LVGL eBook.
1. Add preferences.h discussion from Module 3 in Learn ESP32
Re-write Module 3 in ‘Learn ESP32’ specifically for LVGL/CYD where preferences.h saves:
SSID, password
touchscreen coefficients
openweather api-key
adafruit_io username, password
things network username, password
etc.
I really don’t want to ‘sanitize’ my code (taking out my WiFi password or private api keys) every time I send my code to friends.
2. cover the usage of the built-in microSD card reader (copy Module 3 from ‘Learn ESP32’)
Add a new ‘Picture Frame’ tutorial.
Not covered in either book:
3. how to save compiled programs to littlefs / how to run pre-compiled programs from littlefs?
For example:
At 9pm, run a clock program to display time (and use as a night light)
At sunrise, run a weather program with readings from openweather and local sensors.
When solar cell open-circuit voltage rises above 5.3 volts, start a battery health and charge program…
4. with respect to sensors and specifically in LVGL Module 4.2, extend the example with a brief explanation and implementation of hysteresis as applied to both heating and cooling control.
5. With respect to ‘Learn ESP32’, add a project:
I want to track where my dog is on my property (approximately 120 square km).
I would like to do this using a GPS module and LoRa.
I would like to track her in real time using google maps (or similar web-based mapping solution).
I want to use the same setup with my 8-year old kid for Halloween trick or treat!
I’ve learned quite a bit with your tutorials. I look forward to your latest tutorials and will support you by buying more eBooks!
Thank you for listening!

Hi.
Thank you for your suggestions.
Those are good ideas.
For saving credentials, I have a tutorial that one of our readers wrote for us some time ago, but I didn’t have the time to publish it. You can see it here: https://brinkman.christmas/Protecting-Account-Information/
Using the microSD card is something that we’ll definetely include in the LVGL eBook.
The LoRa project with GPS is a great idea. I think there are ESP32 boards that combine both features. I’ll have to take a look at it.
Thank you for supporting our work.
Keep subscribed to our newsletter to receive new tutorials and updates about the eBooks where something new is out.
