ESP32 LVGL WiFi & Bluetooth 2.8-Inch LCD Touch Display Development Board
Build powerful IoT projects, smart displays, control panels and graphical user interfaces with the ESP32 LVGL WiFi & Bluetooth 2.8-Inch LCD Development Board. This compact all-in-one development board combines an ESP32 dual-core microcontroller, 2.8-inch 240 × 320 colour TFT LCD, resistive touchscreen, WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity into one versatile platform.
Designed for use with the Arduino IDE and LVGL (Light and Versatile Graphics Library), this ESP32 smart display makes it easy to develop interactive touchscreen interfaces for IoT devices, home automation systems, sensor displays, equipment controllers, monitoring systems and custom embedded electronics projects.
2.8-Inch Colour TFT Touchscreen
The integrated 2.8-inch TFT LCD provides a clear 240 × 320 pixel resolution for displaying graphics, menus, sensor readings, buttons, gauges and other interface elements.
A built-in resistive touchscreen allows users to interact directly with their projects, making the board an excellent solution for creating compact Human Machine Interfaces (HMI) and touchscreen control panels.
ESP32 Dual-Core Performance
At the heart of the development board is the popular ESP32 microcontroller, featuring a low-power dual-core 32-bit processor with an operating frequency of up to 240MHz and computing performance of up to 600 DMIPS.
With 520KB internal SRAM and 32Mbit SPI Flash, the ESP32 provides plenty of processing capability for graphical interfaces, wireless communication, sensors and embedded applications.
LVGL GUI Development
The board supports LVGL, a popular open-source graphics library designed specifically for embedded displays.
Using LVGL together with the Arduino development environment allows developers to create professional-looking interfaces including:
-
Buttons and touch controls
-
Menus and navigation screens
-
Gauges and meters
-
Charts and graphs
-
Sensor dashboards
-
Status indicators
-
Settings screens
-
IoT control panels
This makes the ESP32 2.8-inch display particularly useful for projects requiring a customised graphical user interface.
Built-In WiFi & Bluetooth
Integrated wireless connectivity makes it easy to connect your project to networks, smartphones and other compatible devices.
The ESP32 supports:
-
WiFi: 802.11 b/g/n/e/i
-
Bluetooth: Bluetooth 4.2 BR/EDR
-
BLE: Bluetooth Low Energy
-
Onboard WiFi and Bluetooth antenna
WiFi connectivity allows the display to retrieve or send information over a network, making it suitable for applications such as IoT dashboards, smart home controllers, wireless monitoring systems and network-connected displays.
GPIO & Communication Interfaces
