Thank you for the .bin file. now it works !!!!

connected with my tinypilot!!

The problem now are the buttons. When i press the buttons on the ttgo they are not shown in the "lcd and remote controll setup" webpage to assign them to actions. How do i enable the tinypilot to recognize the buttons ? 

Also i see that you use the touch gpio's on the ttgo. Do i have to wire a switch or can i use them as touch inputs?

Could it be these errors on the console?

the buttons are defined in gpio_esp32.py Check this. Some have pull ups, some have pull downs, others expect external resistors.

I am not exactly sure which issue

There is no way to assign them through the webpage, because, the esp32 remote does not require the pypilot_hat service to be active so it does not handle them. It also does not run a web server on the esp32. The wifi remote talks directly to pypilot, and the buttons are just assigned directly for the 10 actions supported:
AUTO, MENU, SMALL_PORT, SMALL_STARBOARD, SELECT, BIG_PORT, BIG_STARBOARD, TACK, NUDGE_PORT, NUDGE_STARBOARD

Ok i understand what's going on ! Now it's play time.
Thank you very much Sean !

I added support for touchpads in the esp32 remote. I opened a pull request in github if my changes are welcomed !
I am not a professional so sorry if i have some mistakes.
I tested it and it works.
Next i want to order the 2.4 inch ttgo to give it a try. It would be nicer a bigger screen


Thank you very much for your help Sean.

the bigger screen may have external ram

[kagouraki]

Yes actually it has. But it has three times the price and it is out of stock everywhere

the price was $17 a 2 years ago, then $30 last year. It seems $50 now, better buy some, in a few years they will be $800.

May I ask if you have followed up on the project? Is there a stable running version of the ESP32 client?

Did you use a jlx1286 display? I get the following error message when I set the lcd driver to "jlx12864" (same error with "nokia5110"):
lcd driver jlx12864 True False
