Description
The Makerfabs 3.5 inch TFT Touch is great, but the refresh rate has always been a concern. Some customers have requested a higher-speed display. The ESP32-S2 Parallel TFT offers a much higher refresh rate, but its downside is the lack of Bluetooth.
This is why we introduce the latest ESP32-S3 Parallel TFT. Compared to the S2 version, it not only has more SRAM and ROM, but also includes Bluetooth 5.0, making it suitable for applications such as local monitoring and controlling.
This ESP32 series comparison shows the clear differences between ESP32, S2, S3, and the C series.
Specifications:
This 3.5" 320x480 TFT LCD uses the ILI9488 driver and communicates with the ESP32-S3 via a 16-bit parallel interface. The main clock can reach up to 20MHz, making the display smooth enough for video displays. This display enables you to create more IoT display projects. Check the demo project in the video below.
Similar to the S2 version, there are 2 onboard Mabee pins (one I2C and one GPIO) with breakout connectors, making it suitable for IoT applications by connecting sensors and actuators.
