Arduino: animations on an 8x8 LED matrix (MAX7219)
Drive an 8x8 LED matrix with a MAX7219 and Arduino. Build frame-based animations: a smiley, a wave, and a scrolling pixel text. One chip, three wires.
Arduino: electronic dice roller with 7-segment display
Roll a die with a button press: a 7-segment display shows 1 to 6 with a tumble animation. Direct-drive wiring, a segment map, and honest randomness on the Uno.
Arduino: drive a 4-digit display with the TM1637
Wire a TM1637 4-digit 7-segment display to an Arduino and print numbers, a clock, and a scrolling counter. Two pins, one library, no soldering.
ESP32: build a UI with LVGL on a touch display
Drive a 320x240 ILI9341 touch display with LVGL 9 on an ESP32. Real widgets, buttons that work, and the two-task structure that keeps drawing and touch alive.
ESP32: draw graphics and text on a color TFT (ST7735/ST7789)
Wire an ST7735 or ST7789 color TFT to an ESP32, draw text and shapes, update a live readout without flicker, and fix the classic black-screen and wrong-color problems.
ESP32: drive an SSD1306 OLED display over I2C
Wire a 128x64 OLED display (SSD1306) to an ESP32 and draw text, graphics, and sensor graphs. Smaller and brighter than the 16x2 LCD.
ESP32: drive a 16x2 LCD display with the I2C backpack
Wire a 16x2 character LCD (HD44780 with the PCF8574 I2C backpack) to an ESP32 and show text. The right display for showing sensor readings and menus.
ESP32: drive a MAX7219 8-digit 7-segment display
Wire a MAX7219 to an ESP32 to drive an 8-digit 7-segment display over SPI. The right pick for showing sensor numbers, counters, or clocks.
Arduino: drive a 16x2 LCD display (with I2C backpack)
Add a 16x2 character LCD to your Arduino using the I2C backpack. Show text, custom characters, and read sensor values on a screen.
