Lego Yavin IV Diorama with an ESP32 video player.

I modified thecreatormocs Yavin IV briefing diorama with an ESP32

I used a Waveshare ESP32-S3 1.9inch Display Development Board,
MAX98357A audio amplifier and small speaker from AliExpress, 3 Cherry MX blue keyboard switches with custom key caps from Goblin Tech keys.
A small rotary encoder for volume and mute control.
It plays a video of the Death Star plans

when you switch it on and then plays one of the three original Star Wars movies (Harmy’s Despecialised Editions) when you click a button. Once the movie has finished it plays the Death Star plans video a random number of times and then randomly plays one of the three movies on mute.

I wrote my own arduino code to play the video. The video and audio are stored in two separate files per movie, a .wav and a custom lightly compressed video format. These are stored on a 32 GB SD card. Although I used separate files I’ve coded it to keep the audio and video in sync all the way through the movie. Once I’ve cleaned up the code a bit I’ll post all the code on GitHub. I’ve posted a few videos on IG whilst building this if you’re interested in seeing what the guts look like.

Thecreatormocs instructions were awesome and well worth paying for and all the Lego parts came from various Bricklink stores with some of the minifigures from eBay and my own collection.

No one sponsors me and I don’t get paid to promote or sell anything.
