Esp32 Keyboard

broken image


  1. ESP32 implementation for HID over GATT Keyboard and Mouse (Bluetooth Low Energy). Including serial API for external modules (compatible to Adafruit EZKey HID).
  2. VGA, SSD1306 Controller, PS/2 Mouse and Keyboard Controller, Graphics Library, Graphical User Interface (GUI), Sound Engine, Game Engine and ANSI/VT Terminal for the ESP32 FastAccelStepper A high speed stepper library for Atmega 328p (nano) and ESP32.

ESP32-Ethernet-Kit: ESP32-Ethernet-Kit is an ESP32-based development board produced by Espressif. It consists of two development boards, the Ethernet board A and the PoE board B, The Ethernet board contains Bluetooth / Wi-Fi dual-mode ESP32-WROVER-E module and IP101GRI, a Single Port 10/100 Fast Ethernet Transceiver (PHY). While the ESP32 boasts an extensive feature list (Wikipedia), the biggest feature that draws the eye is the built-in bluetooth v4.2 with BLE support. But that statement can be a misleading, while the hardware is there, the software support for using Bluetooth is missing.

Headers (Rev 1 board)[edit]

H1 - 3.3V SRC select[edit]

  • 1-2 = Get 3.3V from ESP32 on-board regulator
  • 2-3 = Get 3.3V from on-board regulator (Default)

H2 - 5V SRC Select Jumper (Rev 1 Board)[edit]

  • 5V power options for the 5V to 3.3V regulator
  • 2x4 header
  • Care must be taken to install the correct jumpers
  • USB jumper sends out 5V when a USB cable is connected to the ESP32 module

Power from DC Jack[edit]

  • Do not connect USB cable when the DC jack is used
  • 1-2 = VUSB - Install - Power to ESP32
  • 3-4 = DCIN - Install - Power comes from DC jack
  • 5-6 = FTDI5V_1 - Do not install
  • 7-8 = FTDI5V_2 - Do not install

Power from USB on ESP32 module[edit]

  • 1-2 = VUSB - Install - 5V comes from USB on ESP32 module
  • 3-4 = DCIN - Do not install
  • 5-6 = FTDI5V_1 - Do not install
  • 7-8 = FTDI5V_2 - Do not install

Power from FTDI #1 (Rev 1)[edit]

  • Do not use this position with 'most' FTDI cards since they will drive 5V on the Rx/Tx pins when the FTDI jumper is set to 5V

Power from FTDI #2[edit]

  • Do not use this position with 'most' FTDI cards since they will drive 5V on the Rx/Tx pins when the FTDI jumper is set to 5V

Connectors (Rev 1 board)[edit]

  6. GPIO34
  7. VN
  8. VP

P3 - VGA - Rev 1[edit]

  • ESP32 pins
  • This table is incorrect - it has the Lower/Higher bits swapped

J2 - FTDI #1 - Rev 1[edit]

  1. GND
  2. RTS (Not used)
  3. 5V (Power in if H2 is configured)
  4. RX (from card to External FTDI)
  5. TX (from External FTDI to card)
  6. CTS (Not used)

Connect to FTDI card - Rev 1[edit]

  • Set FTDI jumper to 3.3V (unlike picture below)
  • Cross-over pins 4 and 5 when connecting to FTDI card (Rev 1 only)

J6 - FTDI #2 - Rev 1[edit]

  • Rev 1 board won't program or boot with FDTI #2 card attached
  • This interface is in common with the USB-to-Serial interface on the ESP32 module
  1. GND
  2. RTS (Not used)
  3. 5V (Power in if H2 is configured)
  4. TX2 (from card to External FTDI)
  5. RX2 (from External FTDI to card)
  6. CTS (Not used)
  • Requires a cross-over of the Transmit and Receive pins if directly connecting to an FTDI part
  • Earlier versions of the FabGL schematics used pin 12 for RX
  • Most recent (2020-02) ANSI terminal uses pin 34
  • Board won't boot with an FTDI interface attached and USB cable attached
    • This is an issue for the ANSI Terminal sketch
  • Original pins were (Rev 1 matches original)

Here's why using pin 12 is a bad idea:

UART2 Rework[edit]

  • The easiest way to do this is to wire the FTDI to GPIO34 pin instead of pin J6-5
    • Not pretty, but it does work fine
  • This is what is needed to permanently rework the board
  • Rework is only needed to run 'stock' FabGL code that uses the UART2 port on the ESP32 (like the ansi terminal)
  • Cut trace/adding jumper to rev 1 board
    • Route to GPIO34
  • Cut as follows (cut in white)
  • Add wire as follows (add wire in white)
  • [2020-01-20] Tested rework on card and it worked

Connect to FTDI card - Rev 1[edit]

  • The Rev 2 board changes around headers and connectors

H1 - 5V - Rev 2[edit]

  • The ESP32-VGA can be powered from either the DC Jack or ESP32 USB power
  • Warning: Do not power from 5V Power jack and connect USB cable to the ESP32 module at the same time
    • The ESP32 module has blocking diode to protect the module
      • If the 5V DC jack has a power supply attached with lower voltage it could result in the supplied being shorted between the USB 5V and the DC power jack
      • This is not an issue if the DC power jack is disconnected
  • This could be used for an external power switch

  • R-2R values
    • Ideal resistor values are 417.9 ohms and 835.7 ohms
    • 1% standard values are 422 (Mouser), 845 (Mouser) Ohms
      • Get closest values
      • 0V, 0.228V, 0.460V, 0.693V

Installing the released library

Using Latest FabGL builds[edit]

Here's how I did it Policewala gunda hindi movie.

  1. Install drivers via Arduino from the Library Manager. These are not the latest files. Space Invaders should run but not have sound (as of now because it's the older version).
  2. Move the FabGL from the Arduino libraries file folder to the desktop.
  3. Copy the FabGL from the GitHub download to the Arduino files folder (where you removed the other folder).
  4. Examples will now be the latest.
  5. Compile/download/test the new files. You know it works if you now get sound from Space Invaders.
  6. Save as where you would normally save your Arduino sketches.
