ESP32-S3 Development Board with 5″ IPS Capacitive Touch Display (1024×600)

This ESP32-S3 display is a microcontroller development board made to simplify the creation of interactive and connected projects. With high-capacity Flash and PSRAM, it can run smooth GUI programs like LVGL, making it ideal for rapid HMI development.

It has an Xtensa 32-bit LX7 dual-core processor with a main frequency of up to 240MHz, providing solid processing power. The 5″ IPS capacitive touchscreen delivers a clear and crisp 1024×600 resolution in 65K colours, bringing vibrant visuals to your next project. The screen supports 5-point touch input via the I2C connector, complete with interrupt capabilities, and offers a wide 178° viewing angle for a responsive touch experience.

With 512KB SRAM, 384KB ROM, 16MB Flash, and 8MB PSRAM, the board provides decent storage and memory for even complex tasks. It supports 2.4GHz WiFi (802.11 b/g/n) and Bluetooth 5 (LE) with an onboard antenna, giving you reliable connectivity options.

To expand its functionality, the board includes a range of peripheral interfaces such as CAN, RS485, I2C, an SD card slot, an MX1.25 2P battery header, and digitally isolated IO interfaces. The integrated RTC chip, paired with an internal rechargeable lithium battery, preserves time data even if power is lost. Additionally, a voltage regulator allows for a wide input range of 7–36V, making it adaptable to various power setups.

Please note: this board uses a tiny MX1.25 connector for LiPo power. Most LiPo batteries on the market (including ours) use a larger JST fitting. We do not yet stock batteries with an MX1.25 connector, however, you can customise your battery with one of our 1.25mm pitch cables to make a compatible battery yourself (assuming you have the ability, knowledge and tools to do this safely).

Lithium Battery Shipping: Due to courier restrictions, this product can only be shipped within England/Wales. With this item in your cart your shipping options will be limited and may cost more than our usual rates. Why?
