Hello, in this project I used the T-Display S3 (ESP32) development board to make this controller for electric vehicles (car dashboard), one gauge can show speed, another can show RPM and current gear, there are also indicators for direction, brake, headlights. Below you can find code so feel free to use it for your own electric car bike...
I also designed this pcb so i can play with it, my young students love to play with it. PCB is made by pcbway. I always use PCBWay www.pcbway.com/ because their boards looks great and profesional. You can order this board here: www.pcbway.com...
I used Arduino IDE and whole code fits is single .ini file, what is interesting is that whole design is made of simple lines, rectangles, circles, archs. Pure tft_espi library, without images, fany fonts and other tricks. Thank you Bodmer for all updates.
You can check T-Display S3 development board here: www.lilygo.cc/...

Not gonna lie, I don't think I would've understood this device if it wasn't for the demonstration at the beginning. Thank you.
This has got to be one of the best yet! You put the fun in bare metal and silicon.
So much credit, as always, to Bodmer, Moononournation, Lovyan, LVGL team and the community at large - getting larger by the day thanks to videos like this and the diligent creativity of Liligo, Makerfabs etc...
(Microswitches as pedals! Very imaginative - and you drive stick. POT steering wheel using a conical alloy pulley? - leather trim naturally, and there must be room for a mini airbag - domed speaker that throws talc in your face when you stick 12V DC thru it).
Tnx Nick, it was fun to make this😀
@@VolosProjects Yeah, I can tell!
You have a special talent for LCD UIs. Great job!
And it's inspiring that he resists using a graphical software framework - cos he's got one in his head.
@@nikthefix8918 if he doesn’t make a UI library for arduino I don’t know who can. :)
Brilliant, as usual! Not only are your graphics beautiful, but the whole concept is so unusual and imaginative. I'm sure your students have a great time in your class!
Thank you Michael, i hope they do 😀

Hello my friend, is this the code for this video
It will work on this piece and Bluetooth will work with them ?

Hey Volo! Thank you for mentioning me, I completed my Project some time go. My idea was to make some nice Gauge for automotive usage & CAN Bus.
Anyway, Im stunned with what you came up! Verry good job!!!
Hello Petros, I am glad you finded my video. Thank you for the motivation. Do you still play with microcontrolers?
@@VolosProjects Shure I do! I also got a Job in the Automotive industy because of that ;) Hope to see more of your nice videos!!!
The audio effects at the beginning were top notch!🤣
Anyway, I love the design; so clean!
i practiced few times :)
This would be awesome in a scale rc cockpit, thank you!
Yes if the code was configured to get the data from the MAVLink protocal used for most rovers and drones that would be awesome! :) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAVLink
This is brilliant job man. I've made my own ECU already running on a Mercedes Benz and was looking for a display for my data. I'm already thinking about this on my project.
😮how with what chip,board?? any link bro. ❤❤👏
I'm definitely interested in this 🤩
Thanks for the ride... I think I'm gonna walk the next 300 miles on my own 😄
Me to🤣
Excellent! I'm planning a custom gauge cluster for my motorcycle, and this is a great addition to the links/knowledge I'm gathering. Thank you for sharing the video and files!
I wish I could give this video a double or triple like - it's really amazing! I'll for sure use this for inspiration for my next project - I have bought a ODB2 reader that can connect to the can-bus in my car and to the ESP32 - so that is going to be fun!
Thank you! What is name of that reader?
I've been searching for this very thing for years!!! I work with live video transmission of the first person dashboard view inside of radio controlled cars.. If I can get it to work for myself I'm going to donate you a gallon or maybe two of coffee! You don't even know how excited I am about this! Thank you so so much!
Hahah, thank you, i hope you will make it work. Thats too much cofeine, i will take gallon of beer😀
@@VolosProjects Ha Ha! Beer it is then! Thanks again truly.

Maybe few😀
Relly beautiful graphics made out of simple figures. Thats computer art.
Ditto to many comments. Very cool and practical implement. I think it will influence many students to the STEM community.
Thank you, i hope it will.
WOW, i think I will buy a large spi screen to put this on my old Vitara
I just had bought similar board because I was inspired 😁, the amoled one is a bit expensive, I am just a beginner and a hobbyist though. Thanks for sharing and inspiring us.
8:14 Loved your expressions,
We all love being child again 👍🏼
What a great digital analog meter😍. Awesome work👍
Volos, thanks to your videos I managed to do it. Thank you for your attention. Big Hug.
Hands down one of the sickest CZcams channels ever. Would love to see the back of that board though
tnx, here you can see back of it czcams.com/video/j8THAc1sMww/video.html
I admire your creativity, thanks for sharing
Tnx Mirko.
Generous guy! Thanks. I'm subscribing without even looking through your past videos.

Fazer tudo na unha.... Esse deve ter 2 sacos.. Ficou ótimo!
Mate, the intro is TOP!!!!!!
Hvala😀
Brilliant graphics! also loved your personal sound effects in your demo ..😝
GOOD Job, Volos! 👍
Liked for the superb sound effects 👍
Of course, using sprite! Thank you a lot, I am working on a project that requires 320*240 LCD and I was wondering, how to make every change I want to make on the screen apply at the same time, so thank you for your video!
Most impressive were the sound effects. What library did you use mate?
Thats really cool! The ultimate would be a functional odometer! Take care, awesome work!
This could be an awseome motorcycle dash project !!!!!!
Fantastic displays. I would love to see how to incorporate the use of a variable voltage from a potentiometer to control the display pointer so I could adapt this to a display which I am working on.
Best intro ever!
Thanks for sharing all your hard work. It is very generous of you
Thank you for sharing your project, code and pcb files! I just built my own and noticed something. The PCB image for each LED is incorrect. Typically the notched side of the image is the negative (cathode). I had to flip all LED backwards so positive was on side with notch. I wanted to point this out to anyone else that may build this.
Would you PLEASE do a car dash like this, that uses a GPS sensor to pull/display speed in real time? Something like a NEO 6M. There's only like one tutorial online that shows how to do GPS with an ESP32. All other tutorials are for Arduinos.....
Amazing! Looks like VW dash board.
Very nice and imaginative. Can you share the link of gear switch on aliexpress? Thanks
As usual with cool project and enough details. I was always curious hos do you solder the header pins on the esp32-S3 board. I still could not figure it out. Can share the trick in any of your videos?
@7:18 - I think you will figure it out, your watching my channel, your smart. 💯 - thanks for your insight, tenacity, creativity and for sharing! I’ll give it a try, we’ll done!
It works! - I finally got my Lilygo T-Display S3 to work. Thanks Volos!
Thank you very much for your generosity in sharing such work
No problem😀
Super project!
When starting in the real bike?
I feel like you have a machine gun in one hand and a big jug of vodka on your desk with a drink in your hand. Total gangster. Lol
@@gadgetdeez7069 hahah, close, i dont have gun but i have rakija😀

Nice Little DIY Project!
Beautiful project, as usual.
Great video man. Amazing project
Great work. I can imagine the hours put into this
Very good, display for scania 😍😍😍 I player euro truck simularor 2, The good Project 😊😊
Awesome work! Thank you for sharing.
Another cool project!
Subscribed! I am going to try and build one for a boat
tnx, i hope it will looks good on your boat
@@VolosProjects I just ordered ESP32 dev board and a CANbus hat! I just need to figure out what TFT display I want and go from there. Going to pick up the signals via CANbus and then display to screen. Might see if I can use your graphics techniques for the gauges as it looks extremely professional
you are making amazing sound effects :)
Omg this is cool, do you have a demonstration on a round screen for motobike
Wow! It was an exciting ride😁
hahah, gald you like it :)
Always amazing Volos and thanks for sharing the code. Really nice job!
The ride was funny as hell.
OMG that is SO COOL! I am afraid to make one because I'll never leave my chair again! 🤣 🤣 🤣
Very nice work!
I love your videos and this one (randomly) got me thinking about replacing the screen I have on the front of my oven.
I feel like the screen is a similar size. Right now the only thing the screen displays is a digital clock. who needs another clock!
I’d love to have something that would allow me to show a timer that I would set via asking Alexa (I also have home assistant, maybe it can display a dashboard?)
I’m sure you have a bunch of other cool ideas too
Tnx James, you have cool idea. Integration with Alexa is so cooĺ.

Amazing project
Adding comments - FANCY! This must be harder for you as English isn't your first language but it will really help us understand which section does what.
amazing!
You are the best, thank you!
Very nice. Do you think you could build a Digital Oscilloscope using the ESP32 S3 T Display for analyzing analog audio or RF circuits?
Take my money! I want to drive it and make vroom vroom sounds too!
i like your project. not bad for ebike gage removing the rpm..
If he had not made the glorious sound effects, I may have never known how/who/when/what this may have been... 🤣🤣🤣😉😉😉
Wow
Hey!! Just come across your channel, i am now addicted! Thank you! 😊
Would this be adaptable to use a gps signal speedo? I am looking to rewire my motorcycle and convert the speedo to gps signal.
very nice 😍love your projects
I'm probably smart, thank you 😁
Great job. Where did you get the shell or case for the T-Display-S3??
What i think??? I think i give you a awsome like and a abo. Great work
I liked the ride and the video too 😀❤️
It's always inspiring ! Thank you.
All looks good - I have boards in hand how about a Bill of materials and link to parts.
still no BOM or parts list
Beautiful work 😊
Thanks a lot 😊
BTRRRRRR....BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR..BRRRRRRRRRRRRR.... haha, nice video
Congratulations Volos; Your project is very interesting and very beautiful! You are so kind to share your fantastic work. However, allow me a suggestion: For better use, it could be done on larger screens; for example, with two ili9341 240x320 or ili9488 320x480 screens (even better), one for each function; then it would be Show, since you are an expert on the subject!
I would like to make a much simpler project, which is a Speedometer or Tachometer, using a 3.5" ili9488 screen with esp32, adding an Optical Sensor (Printer) to measure the speed of engines. But, I have a lot of difficulty with the code.
In the Bodmer library there is an example code (Animated_dial) and I have a code ready for an Optical Sensor with 16*2 LCD Display but I am having difficulties adapting it.
P.S.: I subscribed to your channel. Thank you and best regards.
If you can make a dashboard like retro styled hifi systems it would be great! like double screen dashboard, one for controls, other for visualizers etc
Hey! that looks awesome! I was wondering, as soon as you probably have good contact with LilyGo if you would ask them to fix their color gamma? As also seen in your code, there is no way to get reds "red" and one must patch the code to get some less orangish color :) it's a very nice project sir :)
Were you driving Dead Man's Curve when you crashed? I hope there was no injury or loss of life. Such a great project and video to demonstrate it!
Hahah, thank you. I think i will walk.
Bam ✊ great! But Question - i made a "digi dash" out of an old Smartphone and OBD2 dongle for my older Mini Cooper r53. It is "laggy" i unplug it every time, have to connect to wifi to output obd to car scanner pro, Bla Bla. DO YOU THINK it is possible with ESP32 to output CAN data for usual dashboard data ON ONE SMALL ROUND touch display AND using another round display (wisecoco or so) to display stuff like G Maps, Media Player like i do with my Android Phone? 😅 i guess that sounds stupid for you. Do i better find a way to automate the phone for such purpose?
Sorry for my english, i am german
Hi Volo, very nice !!! I just ordered the PCB and the T-Display, could you please give me the references of the AliExpress parts ? Thanks a lot
Dial gauge would be great on the round t-rgb unit
❤ can you connect to OBDII??
thanks very much for your work ,i am actually going to look into making these to sell with diy ebike kits im going to be putting together soon,if we could organize 3d printed cases ,and the exact connectors and features ,i would prob even buy them from you in decent qty.
Cool sketch! Another nice project to tinker with. I'm not as smart as many of the folks here on the channel and compared to you am just a toddler learning to walk. lol. Anyways much appreciated what you do and for sharing with us these fun sketches. I purchased the T-Display S3 Touch version and your sketches work on it perfectly. Please if you can modify the weather , time sketch to work on the T - Display S3, I can't figure out how to make it work. Tried replacing the TFT_eSPI library file with the one included on the folder from factory and all I get is no display/black screen. :( Stay safe and God bless.
That's absolutely amazing 👏
Do you think that the refresh rate would stay similarly fast on a larger screen (2.4") using the same display driver?
Btw I just discovered your channel, and I am trying to build something very very similar, so thanks for putting this together, talk about timing!
It will be same but only 320 x 170 pixel image will be shown, becouse that is size of sprite
@@VolosProjects Thank you! Would you have any recommendation for which 2.4" screen I should purchase? There are so many options, I just need something with similar rates as yours and preferably sunlight readable. That is all, I'd greatly appreciate your help.
How did you converted the original image into code? Did you read the coordinates with e.g. Photoshop?
Absoluty incledible, i write to you to make some questions and invite to make a project if you can, or help to ise this code, but this is insane, congrats and thank you very much!!!!!!!1
You may crash less if you add a steering wheel!
Subscribed and liked because the project is interesting and you share everything.
Looking forward to you one day grabbing Can Bus data from a real car to display the data on a tablet.
thank you :)
Really nice idea!
Respect ❤
Very nice. I love you work and I would like to thank you very much for sharing it with us.
I have a question though:
How do you develop the code for the graphical interface? Every time, when I try to draw graphics on displays just with normal functions of circles, rectangles and lines, I find it very hard to position them correctly and it ends up in very much try and error.
Do you have any hint for me which you would like to share?
First i draw design on paper, i am trying to find best values for size, distance .. yes there is ton try and error 😀
Yes, I recon preparation is the key. You could try mocking up a UI in a vector graphics app first. Inkscape or Gravit (both free) are great for this - and there are online vector design tools - all free - such as Vectr. At least this way you already know the pixel coordinates of all your UI elements and how they will look and feel and you can specify a workspace which reflects the resolution of your actual display hardware. You can then even export those elements and convert them to byte arrays for pushing as bitmaps if you don't want to reconstruct your elements using primitives. Alternatively, LVGL now has Squareline Studio with a barely limited free subscription option. It's WYSIWYG layout tool is awesome and exports code directly to ESP32 thru either Arduino or ESP-IDF dedicated libraries. Even if you want to roll your own code from scratch, the layout editor is perfect for the 'pad-and-paper prep stage' since there's nothing that you can do in SLS that can't be reproduced on the ESP with suitable display hardware - such as the dev board shown here.
Hi, Volos, very nice project! Good job ;) But i have a problem: When i try to download the sketch appears the error message: "'class TFT_eSprite' has no member named 'drawSmoothArc'. I tried to install the new library TFT_eSPI of Bodmer, the error is gone, but the TFT S3 screen is black. Does not work... I think it will be a problem of configurations in setup files. Can you help me to configure this library to the T-Display S3? Thank you.
I am having the same problem of "'class TFT_eSprite' has no member named 'drawSmoothArc'". How did you get your program to compile?
@FVCard - just downloaded the latest 'Xinyuan-LilyGO/T-Display-S3' library that has the 'drawArc' and 'drawSmoothArc' members. The program compiles properly. I withdraw my previous statement about not compiling. Volos thank you .
@@maurice0101 hi, thank you for your report. I'l try to install this library and see if works. Thank you. FC
Cool project
