## Description

Full description not available

## Features

- This ELECROW ESP32 terminal a microcontroller based on the ESP32 master. It adopts Xtensa 32-bit LX7 dual-core processor with a main frequency of up to 240Mhz, and can easily handle common edge terminal device application scenarios, such as industrial control, agricultural production environment detection and processing, intelligent logistics monitoring, smart home assistant and more.
- This ESP32 module has a 3.5 inch parallel RGB interface capacitive touch screen with a resolution of 320*480 to ensure perfect image output at a frame rate (FPS) of 60. 4 Crowtail interfaces on the back, which can be used with ELECROW Crowtail series sensors, plug and play, and create more interesting projects quickly and conveniently. Equipped with an SD card slot for extended storage (SPI leads) and a buzzer function.
- This ESP32 touchscreen supports ESP-IDF and Ar duino IDE development and is compatible with Python/Micropython/Ar duino. It also support LVGL, which is the most popular free and open-source embedded graphics library to create beautiful UIs for any MCU, MPU and display type.
- The onboard charging circuit and lithiumbattery interface can use the type-c power supply interface to supply power and charge the external power at the same time, providing more outdoor scene expansion possibilities.
- This ESP32 development board with 3.5 inch touch screen kit uses an acrylic shell, which can not only protects the screen, but also makes it more beautiful. Pocket size, small and portable; two M3 fixing holes are easy to fix, making it easier for you to set up your project.

    Complex to get going but works pretty well
  

*by N***. on Reviewed in the United States on May 3, 2024*

I used this to in the build of a touchscreen remote for a lighting system.  When it comes to ESP32 projects, I tend to work directly with the ESP-IDF.  This board took some work to get going in the IDF.  I used ESP-IDF 4.4.3, LVGL 8.3.3, a helper library called LovyanGFX to configure the screen, and FT6X36-IDF to interface with the touch-panel.  Now that it's working, I'm mostly-pleased with the board.Have a look at the schematics available on the manufacturer's website.  You'll note that the interrupt from the touch controller isn't connected to the ESP32-S3.  You could solder a bridge to fix it, but I submitted an update to FT6X36-IDF to support polling the touch panel.  The polling mode is working well for me.Backlight and buzzer are drive-able from GPIO46 and GPIO20, respectively.I paired this to a generic LiPo battery.  The charging seems to work fine and the battery voltage can be read via ADC on GPIO17.  However, the power LED is hard-wired, so it will always drain battery.  Additionally, unlike some other systems using PMICs, there seems to be no way to toggle a GPIO to cut power to the device.  Instead, I'm using the ESP32-S3's deep sleep and configured GPIO0 to wake it so I can use the "BOOT" button to wake it from sleep.

    Great package however arduino graphic examples do not compile for me.
  

*by R***R on Reviewed in the United States on September 15, 2023*

First off, the supplied cable worked for power, but it did not work for programing. I had to supply another cable from another kit to program the exp32s3. Secondly the examples would not compile. It seems to me that this device was ported to Arduino and its native platform is something else. All kinds of issues with the Arduino code such as files not found etc.. these are easy enough to fix but I never did get the code working.  I was looking for an easy project not something I have to spend an enormous amount of time figuring out. so far I have spent 2 days trying to get some graphic examples working and I got one to work where the screen flashes different colors. Nothing working other than that and the buzzer so far.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Great display, but needs some effort to get working
  

*by C***E on Reviewed in the United States on February 7, 2024*

I make displays as a fun part of my homebrewing hobby, and I have mostly designed on Lilygo boards. I wanted something bigger and better self-contained for a mini-keg scale project to take to and show off at club meetings, so I bought this board (non-camera version).It is not as easy to setup as others, but it is doable. If going the Arduino route, it does require familiarity with Squareline, LVGL, and how Arduino looks for files.To get this working, I downloaded the example provided on Elecrow's wiki for this page after Googling "Elecrow 3.5 rgb touch" (bottom of page, "ESP Terminal 3.5 RGB code"; download zip file and find LVGL_RGB_).From there, I opened the .ino files and removed references to the LVGL example files.Now, you have two options. Put every Squareline-exported UI files in the same folder level as the .ino file, or follow Squareline's structure of putting the .ino file in its own [project name]/ui folder and putting the supporting UI files in [project name]/library/ui.With the former, you have to change "../ui.h" to just "ui.h." not a big deal unless you have a lot of asset and font files...then it is tedious.If you go with Squareline's folder structure, then all is fine. Just put that revised example .ino file in [project name]/ui and set Arduino's library path to the project folder (one level above its library and ui folders). All should then work (minus some bugs to adjuat along the way).Overall, I like this module/display and plan other projects with it.
