# 🎉 Project Migration Complete! ## Summary Successfully migrated the DCC-Bench project from WiFi/WebServer control to **ESP32-2432S028R touchscreen control**. ## ✅ What Was Changed ### 1. Hardware Platform - ✅ Changed from generic ESP32 to **ESP32-2432S028R** (with built-in ILI9341 touchscreen) - ✅ Updated `platformio.ini` with correct board and TFT configuration - ✅ Added TFT_eSPI and XPT2046_Touchscreen libraries ### 2. New Features Added - ✅ **TouchscreenUI**: Full graphical interface with buttons and slider - ✅ **RelayController**: 2-rail/3-rail track switching via relay - ✅ **Power Control**: ON/OFF button with safety features - ✅ **Mode Switching**: DCC ↔ Analog with automatic power-off - ✅ **Settings Persistence**: All settings saved to NVS ### 3. Components Removed - ✅ WiFiManager (no longer needed) - ✅ WebServer (replaced by touchscreen) - ✅ Web interface files (data/ folder) - ✅ Bootstrap dependencies ### 4. Safety Improvements - ✅ **Auto power-off** when switching modes (prevents dangerous transitions) - ✅ Visual power state indication (green/red button) - ✅ Clear mode indication (cyan for DCC, yellow for Analog) ### 5. Updated Pin Assignments All pins updated to avoid conflicts with ESP32-2432S028R peripherals: | Component | Old Pins | New Pins | |-----------|----------|----------| | DCC Output | 32, 33 | 17, 16 | | Motor Control | 25, 26, 27 | 18, 19, 23 | | Relay | - | 4 | | Touch/Display | - | 2, 12-15, 21, 22 | ### 6. Documentation Created - ✅ `ESP32-2432S028R_MIGRATION.md` - Detailed migration guide - ✅ `WIRING_ESP32-2432S028R.md` - Complete wiring guide - ✅ `QUICK_REFERENCE.md` - Quick reference card - ✅ Updated `README.md` - Main documentation ## 📋 Files Modified ### Created: - `include/TouchscreenUI.h` - `src/TouchscreenUI.cpp` - `include/RelayController.h` - `src/RelayController.cpp` - `ESP32-2432S028R_MIGRATION.md` - `WIRING_ESP32-2432S028R.md` - `QUICK_REFERENCE.md` ### Modified: - `platformio.ini` - Board config and libraries - `include/Config.h` - Removed WiFi, added rail mode and power state - `src/Config.cpp` - Updated save/load logic - `include/MotorController.h` - Updated pin assignments - `include/DCCGenerator.h` - Updated pin assignments - `src/main.cpp` - Completely rewritten for touchscreen - `README.md` - Updated documentation ### Removed: - `include/WiFiManager.h` - `src/WiFiManager.cpp` - `include/WebServer.h` - `src/WebServer.cpp` ### Kept (not used, but preserved): - `include/LEDIndicator.h` - Can be used for future features - `src/LEDIndicator.cpp` - Can be used for future features - `data/` folder - Web files (not needed but preserved) ## 🚀 Next Steps ### To Build and Upload: ```bash # Build the project pio run # Upload to ESP32-2432S028R pio run --target upload # Monitor serial output pio device monitor ``` ### To Test: 1. ✅ Power on via USB-C 2. ✅ Verify display shows UI 3. ✅ Test touch responsiveness 4. ✅ Toggle each button 5. ✅ Test speed slider 6. ✅ Verify relay clicking 7. ✅ Test mode switching (should power off) 8. ✅ Verify settings persist after reboot ## 📚 Documentation Reference - **Main README**: [README.md](README.md) - **Migration Details**: [ESP32-2432S028R_MIGRATION.md](ESP32-2432S028R_MIGRATION.md) - **Wiring Guide**: [WIRING_ESP32-2432S028R.md](WIRING_ESP32-2432S028R.md) - **Quick Reference**: [QUICK_REFERENCE.md](QUICK_REFERENCE.md) ## ⚠️ Important Notes ### Power Safety - **Switching modes automatically powers OFF** - this is by design for safety - Always verify power state before testing with a locomotive ### Pin Conflicts Resolved - Original design had GPIO 33 conflict (DCC_B and Touch CS) - Resolved by moving DCC to GPIO 16/17 and Touch to GPIO 22 ### External Circuits Required - **DCC Mode**: Requires DCC booster circuit (LMD18200 or similar) - **DC Mode**: Requires motor driver (LM18200 or similar) - **Relay**: Requires 5V relay module for 2-rail/3-rail switching ### Settings Storage All settings stored in ESP32 NVS and persist across: - Power cycles - Firmware updates (unless NVS is erased) - Reboots ## 🎯 Feature Highlights ### User Interface ``` ┌─────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ [POWER] [MODE] [RAILS] [DIR] │ │ ON/OFF DCC/DC 2/3Rail FWD/REV │ │ │ │ Speed: 45% │ │ │ │ ═══════════════○════════════ │ │ │ │ PWR:ON | Mode:DCC | 3-Rail | Addr:3 │ │ Speed:45% FWD │ └─────────────────────────────────────────┘ ``` ### Button Colors - **Power**: Green (ON) / Red (OFF) - **Mode**: Cyan (DCC) / Yellow (Analog) - **Rails**: Green (3-Rail) / Gray (2-Rail) - **Direction**: White text ## 🔄 Version Information - **Previous Version**: 1.0 (WiFi/WebServer based) - **Current Version**: 2.0 (Touchscreen based) - **Platform**: ESP32-2432S028R - **Framework**: Arduino via PlatformIO ## ✨ Future Enhancement Ideas 1. **DCC Address Entry**: Numeric keypad on touchscreen 2. **Function Buttons**: F0-F12 control for DCC mode 3. **Speed Presets**: Quick buttons (25%, 50%, 75%, 100%) 4. **Current Monitoring**: Display track current (requires sensor) 5. **Locomotive Profiles**: Save/load multiple loco configurations 6. **Emergency Stop**: Large dedicated button 7. **Sound Feedback**: Beep on button press 8. **Brightness Control**: Adjust display backlight --- **Migration Date**: December 1, 2025 **Git Branch**: ESP32-2432 (feature branch) **Status**: ✅ Complete and ready for testing
