This project is a simple joke generator running on ESP8266, displaying random jokes on a small TFT SPI display. Perfect for beginner makers who want to combine programming, electronics, and fun.
- Download and displays random jokes (in English)
- Output on a color TFT SPI display
- Easy to modify and add new jokes in the code
- Uses the TFT_eSPI library (or other compatible library for your display)
- Arduino Ide-compatible board (e.g. ESP32)
- TFT SPI display (e.g. ILI9341, ST7735, or similar)
- Connected via SPI pins plus control pins as required by the library
- Arduino IDE
- TFT_eSPI library or other compatible display library
- Source code in
sketch_jul01c.ino
- Install the Arduino IDE if you don’t have it yet: https://www.arduino.cc/en/software
- Install the TFT_eSPI library via Arduino Library Manager or download from GitHub.
- Configure the library for your specific TFT SPI display (check the library’s User Setup file).
- Open
sketch_jul01c.inoin Arduino IDE. - Connect your Arduino and TFT display hardware.
- Upload the sketch to your Arduino board.
- The device will show random jokes on the TFT display.
- Modify display settings and fonts by adjusting the TFT_eSPI library configuration.
Feel free to ask if you want help with wiring, library setup, or code modifications!
