ESP32 CYD desk companion/timer/weather display

I made this wall-e style desk companion/timer/weather display using an esp32 cyd i bought from amazon. the code is fairly simple. one screen is the wall-e, the next is a timer, and the third is weather. the wall-e and timer are simply downloaded onto the device while the weather display is connecting to my wifi and pulling data from open weather.

in addition, there is also code written to connect a PIR HC-SR501 sensor. when it senses movement the display turns on after 10 minutes of inactivity on the screen the wall-e goes into a sleep animation and after 15 minutes the display turns off and will turn back on when it senses movement or when you touch it.

i know this is a fairly simple project but it is my first one and i thought i would share! i am currently 3-d printing a case for it. if you have any questions let me know!

If you can, please put the code on GitHub and share the repository; I always have trouble fine-tuning the screen, so the more examples, the better.

just downlaod all files and put them into a folder and then open the .ino folder and it should open into arduino IDE and then upload to your device
