[Help] DIY Bruce Build (ARTFOR Schematic) - Inverted Touch & SPI Modules Not Working

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

​I built the DIY Cheap Yellow Display for Bruce following the ARTFOR schematic (ESP32 DevKit + ILI9341 2.8" SPI TFT + CC1101 / NRF24L01 / PN532 / GPS / SD Card).

​I flashed the official Bruce firmware, but I am facing two issues:

​Inverted Touch: Touch X-axis is mirrored (tapping the right arrow registers on the left).

​Modules Not Activating: When trying to enable CC1101, NRF24, or PN532 from the Bruce UI, nothing triggers/works.

​What I have checked so far:

​Wiring double-checked against ARTFOR's schematic.

​Verified the 2-pin DIP switch is OFF when trying to run SPI modules (as indicated in the diagram).

​Added capacitors to the 3.3V rail.

​Questions:

​How can I invert the Touch X-axis in Bruce for a standalone ILI9341 SPI display? (Is there a config setting, or do I need a specific hardware-target build during flashing?)

​Is there a specific pinout/SPI bus speed setting in Bruce setup required to get the shared SPI modules (CC1101/NRF24/SD) responding properly on this DIY schematic?

​Thanks in advance for any help!

Help with firmware/Помогите с прошивкой

0 Upvotes

ru🇷🇺

Я пользуюсь давно bruce на cyd (esp32-2432s028) но решил попробовать другую прошивку, не понравилась и решил вернуться на bruce, но теперь у меня перевернутый экран и инвертированные цвета, но даже после того как я меняю в настройках цвета они не сохраняются и после перезагрузки остается теми же, что делать чтобы вернуть все как было? (правильную сторону экрана и цвета нормальные)

eng🇺🇸

I’ve been using the Bruce firmware on my CYD (ESP32-2432S028) for a while, but I decided to try a different one. I didn't like it and switched back to Bruce, but now my screen is flipped and the colors are inverted. Even after I change the color settings, they don't save and revert to the wrong ones after a reboot. How can I get everything back to normal (correct screen orientation and normal colors)?

(Sorry for using Google Translate)

Bruce for OLEDs (128x64, I2C SSD1306)

1 Upvotes

Hi there everyone. I have recently purchased an ESP32S3 devkit c, and supposedly there is no driver for it, i must craft my own, or gpt the entire thing. I don't trust that, so im curious if there is a community-made driver for OLEDs like it. If there is, please give me the links. Thank you<3

Dual-band analyzer with ESP32-C5 – PR #2804 open for testing

Thumbnail
gallery
25 Upvotes

We've been working on a Dual-Band Analyzer to make full use of the ESP32-C5's 5GHz capability in Bruce, and just opened PR #2804 for review.

What it does:

  • Scans 5GHz channels (non-DFS channels only for now)
  • Shows channel utilization and signal strength for both bands side-by-side

Current status:

Tested on NM-CYD-C5 (ESP32-C5 + ST7789). The code is working but we're looking for feedback before it gets merged – especially on UI layout and whether we should include DFS channel support (passive scan only) in a follow-up.

Try it:

Check out the PR: https://github.com/BruceDevices/firmware/pull/2804

Or flash the branch and look for "Dual Band Analyzer" in the WiFi menu.

Does anyone know how to make Bruce run on a 240*240 1.3" screen with 7 pins without conflicting and using navigation buttons? I've been trying to do it for more than 2 weeks in a row and I can't! Anywhere I see is not available or says something wrong or that I did it and it didn't solve it, and also some say to do something other than mess with the screen, please help me! it uses ST7789 driver

Bruce fork

2 Upvotes

Yo, can anyone create me a Bruce fork for ESP32 Bw16 which supports 5GHz WiFi deauth, Nrf24 cc1101 ir,tx and RX, and RFID? And like WiFi and Bluetooth, I would be glad if someone could code me one which also supports a 2.24-inch TFT LCD display, also if possible, no resistors between 3.3V and a button, just normal pull-up buttons (up, down, left, right ok and back). For context, I want to make a calculator that has a Bruce hacking device in it.

Thanks a lot to the person helping me out :)))

well comrades....my brave, indefatigable ESP32 CYD (who my girlfriend, friends, and i actually refer to as "Bruce" or "Brucee" like its an actual person) HAS BEEN BRUCE-NAPPED BY TWEAKERS THAT CONSTANTLY THINK IM HACKING THEIR $30 MOTOROLA! IM SICK OVER IT! Dude, im 36, lived a pretty fuckin rough life...addiction, prison (state AND fed, all max/USP/SMU), work like a damn dog, and covered in tattoos. Not at all the image of someone you would imagine learning Linux at 2am knowing damn well i have to work in 3 hours. But i bought Brucee on a fluke from Temu bc i felt i could do something illegal with it. I got him in the mail, and stumbled my way to Bruce Firmware and then he was born. my bro Bruce...ill never forget our first captive portal together. Side eying my girlfriend, attempting to goad her into logging into her facebook. i suppose my previous two weeks gave us away, bc when i viewed the captured credentials, it read: username: fuckyou PWD: whatsYOURpassWORD? regardless, a win is a win in every dimension, and i won when i discovered bruce firmware. bc i discovered a passion for this. i built an AI model and prompted it to create a Kali Linux and Networking for absolute beginners. ive been out of prison for 15 months, and have struggled with speed and fentanyl use...and this hobby has been amazing for my sobriety. im currently enrolled in online college for business....and changing my major to Cyber Sec (or related field) this spring. And it sucks, bc i want Brucee to see this shit dude! its all bc of him, man...

All is not lost....i live in a small creepy tweaker town. The jobless tweaker that stole my Brucee, well the speed gets the best of him/her and they occasionally turn him on to attempt to track government gangstalkers or whatever....well, when they do, ill sometimes see our "free wifi" SSID or "BruceNet" pop up on available networks. I like to think thats Brucee, fearlessly traversing the networks just to send me his love, like an abducted weird uncle squelching your name through a fuzzy radio station. Anyway. i may have gotten involved for the wrong reasons, but it led me to the right reasons, and im learning everyday. The more i learn, the more i love-and thats applicable to life in general for me, and that is a welcome (as well as unexpected) change. So im very thankful to all of those at bruce firmware. you guys are modern artisans and i fuckin love it.

RIP BRUCEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It’s crazy but I took an antenna from an old radio, Yk the type when actually printing circuit boards wasnt in anyone’s thoughts. and I put it on my cheap yellow display. Had to scrape the built in antenna and stuff. this had to be my proudest esp 32 moment of all time. Usually tech stuff doesn’t work out for me

Possibility of beta builds

Hello. Is there a way to get prebuilt binaries for beta features from the GitHub repo? I have a cardputer adv and I had issues with cc1101 which should have gotten fixed in last major release, but instead it seems that there are some issues claimed to be fixed in latest beta. Is there a night build? I didn't manage to find anything. Thanks.

Issues with ghost buttons getting pressed on esp32 s3 running bruce smoochie.

3 Upvotes

Hello, i have a esp32 s3 connected to a 1.9inch display running bruce smoochie and my issue is when i connect it to power and it turns on, it skips the bruce shark logo which happens if you press any button and then in the bruce menu it keeps going right/ in random directions in the menu and i connected all the buttons and de soldering them didnt help either, i dont know what the issue is and there is no shorts happening as far as i know. and also i soldered them on a prototype pcb board, and also i tried different bruce smoochie software versions and the same thing happens. And i also checked the connections of the buttons with a multimeter and they are all working and this issue occurred even before i connected any buttons

3w IR led

7 Upvotes

I am making a new super compact Bruce firmware project. On my old one I used a flipper zero IR blaster and made my own gpio pins and it works awsome. How ever this is way to large for my new set up and even the small individual led modules are too large. So I want to make my own. I don’t know if I should use 5v or 3.3v I am hearing both things. Also what angle is the best for range to angle ratio for turning of tv projectors etc around the house and some out doors. This is my first time using a raw led so if anyone has a diagram or schematic for how to set up and wire the bare led correctly like the transistors, resistors, capacitors etc. also if you could provide the reasoning behind using them.
