Add a Display to Your DIY Project (Beginner Friendly!)

Want to take your DIY project from basic to brilliant? Adding a display can completely transform its functionality and look! I'll walk through a few of the different types of displays available, how to choose the right one for your needs, and the step-by-step process of connecting it to an ESP32. I'll also cover the basics of configuring each device with ESPHome or Arduino so that you can show data from your DIY project or even from Home Assistant or other external sources.
