Arduinoa2z: Using STONE LCD screen and ESP32 MCU to implement home massage chair application

Project Overview

Here we do is a home massage chair application, will STONE TFT After the LCD serial screen is powered on, a start interface will appear. After a short stay, it will jump to a specific interface. This interface is used to set our current time. When setting, a keyboard will pop up. After setting, click OK to enter the massage mode selection interface. Here, I have set three modes: head massage, back massage and comprehensive mode. In the mode, the massage intensity can be set, the high, middle and low gears can be set, and the corresponding LED light will be used for intensity indication; the massage times can also be set, after reaching the set number, it will automatically stop; in the comprehensive mode, the head and back will be massaged at the same time, and it can be turned off when it is not needed. These actions are through the STONE TFT LCD serial port screen to achieve command transmission.

Using STONE LCD screen and ESP32 MCU to implement home massage chair application

The communication functions are as follows:

① The serial port screen of STONE TFT LCD realizes the function of button switching interface;

② The serial port screen of STONE TFT LCD realizes the function of automatic jump when starting up;

Product features

ULN2003 is a Darlington display with high voltage and high current. It consists of seven Silicon NPN Darlington tubes. Each pair of Darlington of ULN2003 is connected in series with a 2.7K base resistor. Under 5V working voltage, it can be directly connected with TTL and CMOS circuit, which can directly process the data that needs standard logic buffer. Here we use DIP-16 package, 4-phase 5-wire 5V stepping motor.

Structure and Application

Development steps

Arduino ESP32

Download IDE

To complete the code development of esp32, Arduino is used to develop and compile. First, you need to install the environment and enter the Arduino official website:

https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software, and download the version for your own platform.

Code

HeadGearHigh is used to set the gear to high in receive head mode

HeadGearMiddle is used to set the gear to middle in receive head mode

HeadGearLow is used to set the gear to low in receive head mode

HeadTiming is used to receive the number of times set in head mode

HeadModeStart is used to start in receive header mode

HeadModeStop is used to stop in receive header mode

BackGearHigh is used to set the gear to high in receive back mode

BackGearMiddle is used to set the gear to middle in receive back mode

BackGearLow is used to set the gear to low in receive back mode

BackModeStart is used to start in receive back mode

BackModeStop is used to stop in receive back mode

IntegratedModeStart is used to receive start in integrated mode

IntegratedModeStop is used to receive stop in integrated mode

After the code is written, we start to compile. After the compilation is successful, download the code to the esp32 EVB board. The operation is as follows:

STONE TOOL 2019

New Project

Find the tool 2019 directory and double-click to open STONE Tool 2019

STONE TOOL 2019

Add picture

By default, there is a blue back image after a new project is created.

Add picture

Right click 0.jpg and select remove to delete it. In the same way, select Add to add the image required by the project.

Setting of selection interface

RTC

To set the time function, first add a clock setting control.

Add an RTC control.

Add an RTC control

To make input keyboard, we need to add a button control to each array and give the corresponding key value.

Menu bar selection

Add the menu bar control, set the initial value, and add the corresponding ICO library.

Page jump function

You can set the button effect and the switch page, and the switching interface effect of other buttons is also similar.

Key command setting

Each button needs to be given corresponding action, so the following settings are made:
