Has anyone had success with the AZ-Delivery AZ-Touch unit? I’m trying to use it with an ESP32 but it didn’t come with documentation and the documentation I have found seems to be for an older version.
Mine is labelled AZ-Touch MOD, Version 01-03 on the PCB.
It is the pins used that I’m after but if anyone has working yaml code that would be even better!
At a crude, basic level yes. It detects clicks on the screen and provides the co-ordinates.
I’ve not done any more testing yet and still need to calibrate it and then start exploring capabilities but everything looks like it should work much as expected now that I’ve actually got it talking.
I plan to add a temperature sensor (maybe ds18b20 or bme280) and a PIR sensor so the screen wakes up as you approach it.
The more I look at this the more interesting it seems.
But one thing I noticed is that it/you use pin 15 (GPIO15?) for the LEDs.
But GPIO15 is not PWM? Or is it?
I’m thinking of using it as a clock/display by the bed so it’s rather important to dim it.
I know you already have one, but if you, or other readers, want alternatives, there are quite a few devices supported by openhasp now, and you can make lovely home assistant dashboards. Its just had an update to 0.6.1 and there are more devices supported now openHASP
Both the AZ-Delivery screen and touch controller are supported. I love esphome, but for dashboards I am rather taken with openhasp!
AZ-Delivery is a german seller. Some guys invented it, to get cheaper prices via direct import from China, as it is kind of annoying to buy over chinese websites from Germany (customs, warranty, refund).
In the end, they are just another B2C shop, that has specialized on branded chips, imported directly from China and sold with all the advantages we have in Germany, when sold and bought in Germany.
If someone needs assistance with their website, let me know, I’m happy to translate or do some questioning.
The “problem” with their instructions is, most of the info is “hidden” in their free of charge e-books. And these are a pain to download. You have to register an account, put the e-book in the shopping cart, checkout (without paying) and then you get a link to download the e-book… As I said, if somebody needs something here, let me know.
As I live in Germany, most of my components are from them, can’t say anything bad about them, everything works great and in most cases they are the cheapest possibilty to get your hands on ESPs in Germany.
Thanks, @nickrout - I am looking at that, too, and have ordered another display it supports as a comparison. Does it allow the addition of, say, a PIR and temperature sensor?
Thanks, @paddy0174 - that’s interesting as I did wonder what the story was. I’ve ordered a fair amount of stuff from them - it mostly ‘just works’ and doesn’t need detailed manuals etc.
These AZ-Touch boards are a little different and the manuals (when I found them - what a hassle!) were not available in English for the MOD version. I got some pointers from an earlier version and a multi-meter sorted the rest.
Kind of you to offer - I may take you up on that! Thanks.
Thanks @RGN01 - your yaml snippet saved me a lot of time.
I accidentally ordered the AZTouch MKR but wanted to use the ESP32 so ended up manually wiring all of the pins. But all working. Great little board and box - would highly recommend (case, power supply, touchscreen, place to solder extra things, wall mountable box - great value).
Only negative point so far is that the display viewing angle is not great - maybe around 30degrees before the colours start going weird.
