Why Choose & Common Uses
- All-in-one board — MCU, 2.8" TFT display, resistive touch, and Li-Po charging together, based on the widely-used ESP32-2432S028R ("CYD") design with broad TFT_eSPI/LVGL library support.
- Fits handheld IoT devices, smart-home control panels, DIY test-equipment interfaces, and interactive kiosks — anywhere a project needs a touch UI without extra wiring.
- Need a bare ESP32 board without a screen instead? See the ESP-32S 30-Pin Development Board or the compact ESP32-C3 Super Mini. Browse RAM Electronics' full ESP32 & ESP8266 boards category for more.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can this module run on battery power?
Yes — it has a built-in charging circuit for a 3.7V Li-Po battery, in addition to the standard 5V power input.
Do I need a separate display driver library?
No — it uses the common ILI9341 display driver and XPT2046 touch controller, both well supported by popular libraries such as TFT_eSPI and LVGL.
