The Makerfabs 3.5 inch TFT Touch is great but the refresh rate is always a problem, some customers feedback they want a higher speed display. The ESP32-S2 Parallel TFT has a much higher refresh rate, but the disadvantage is the lack of Bluetooth...

That is why this latest ESP32-S3 Parallel TFT, compares to the S2 version, not only more SRAM and ROM, the Bluetooth 5.0 make it fit for applications such as local monitoring/controlling.

This 3.5" 320x480 TFT LCD driver is ILI9488, it uses 16bits parallel line for communication with ESP32-S3, the main clock could be up to 20MHz, making the display smooth enough for video displays. With this display, you can freely to create more IOT display projects, check the demo project in the video:

Same as the S2 version, there 2 onboard Mabee pins(A I2c and an IOs) with the breakout connectors, to connect the ESP32-S2 display with sensors/ actuators, suitable for IoT applications.

In this article, we’re going to compare several ESP32 development boards. This article aims to help you choose the best ESP32 development board for your project requirements.

The ESP32 is the ESP8266 successor (read best ESP8266 development boards). The ESP32 is loaded with lots of new features when compared with its predecessor. It combines Wi-Fi and Bluetooth wireless capabilities and dual-core.

You can find the ESP32 as a standalone chip or as a full-featured development board. There are many ESP32 development boards available. In this review, we’ll take a look at the most popular ones. To learn more about the ESP32 and use it to build IoT projects, we recommend enrolling in our course: Learn ESP32 with Arduino IDE.

Arduino IDE compatible:  you can program the ESP32 with the Arduino IDE using the Arduino core. (Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux installation instructions). You can also use other IDEs to program the ESP32 with the Arduino core (like VS Code with the PlatformIO extension, for example).

Pin configuration and the number of pins. To properly use the ESP32 in your projects, you need to have access to the board pinout (like a map that shows which pin corresponds to which GPIO and its features). So make sure you have access to the pinout of the board you’re getting. Otherwise, you may end up using the ESP32 incorrectly. We recommend looking at our ESP32 GPIO Reference Guide that shows how to use the ESP32 GPIOs properly.

USB-to-UART interfaceand voltage regulator circuit. Most full-featured development boards have these two features. This is important to easily connect the ESP32 to your computer to upload code and apply power.

Battery connector. If you want to power your ESP32 using batteries, there are development boards that come with connectors for LiPo batteries—this can be handier. You can also power a “regular” ESP32 with batteries through the power pins.

Extra features. There are ESP32 development boards with extra features like an OLED display, a LoRa module, a SIM800 module (for GSM and GPRS), a battery holder, or a camera.

This is the ESP32 DEVKIT DOIT board (this is our favorite ESP32 development board). There are two versions of this board, with 30 and with 36 GPIOs. Both work in a similar way. I prefer the version with 30 GPIOs because it comes with two GND pins (however, it’s been difficult to find the version with 30 GPIOs available online). Additionally, even though the other model comes with more GPIOs, the extra ones are not recommended to use (they are connected to the ESP32 integrated flash memory).

This is the ESP32-based board from Adafruit. Like the previous one, it comes with a USB-to-UART interface and voltage regulator circuit.  The pins are labeled at the top and the bottom of the board. A great addition to this board is the Lipoly battery connector. This is perfect for portable battery-powered projects.

The ESP32 Thing is the ESP32-based board from Sparkfun. It comes with all the functionalities to easily communicate and program the ESP32 with your computer. In addition, it comes with a connector for LiPo batteries and a LiPo charger. This means rechargeable batteries can be easily charged by plugging 5V into the board through the USB connector. Sparkfun also has a lot of good documentation about this board.

This ESP32 development board comes with a battery holder at the back to provide power through a 18650 battery. This board also includes a 18650 battery charging system and two LEDs to indicate the battery state. This is a great choice if you want something compact running on batteries. Additionally, this board can charge and work at the same time.

This ESP32 board is similar to the previous one, but instead of a battery holder, it comes with a 0.96” SSD1306 OLED display. This is perfect for adding an interface to your projects without worrying about the circuitry. However, this board comes with fewer available GPIOs to connect peripherals. So, before getting this board, check its pinout to see if it can connect the peripherals you need for your project.

This ESP32 board comes with the SX1278 chip, which is a LoRa transceiver chip. LoRa is a wireless data communication technology that allows long-range communication of small amounts of data while minimizing power consumption. It comes with an OLED display, which is handy to display LoRa messages. If you intend to do a project with LoRa using the ESP32, this can be a great option since it already comes with the LoRa transceiver chip. We also recommend these LoRa boards.

Many other ESP32 development boards have different features that might be more useful than a regular ESP32, depending on your project requirements. Here’s a list of some ESP32 boards with special features that might be handy for your projects:

ESP32-CAM: ESP32 development board with a camera, microSD card slot, and several GPIOs. There are several ESP32 camera boards available (ESP32 Camera Dev Boards Review and Comparison (Best ESP32-CAM).

In this article, we’ve compared a selection of ESP32 development boards. The ESP32 DEVKIT DOIT, the Adafruit ESP32 Feather, and the ESP32 thing are all very similar. These don’t come with extra hardware, so they are easier to use, and those are the ones we recommend for beginners. We’ve been using the ESP32 DEVKIT DOIT boards, and they work perfectly. However, if you want something really high-quality, the ESP32 feather and the ESP32 Thing are just great.

If you have a specific project in mind, maybe one of the other models is more suitable. For example, if you intend to add an OLED display to your project, the ESP32 with built-in OLED will provide all you need in a small footprint.

We hope you’ve found this selection and comparison of ESP32 development boards useful. Remember that these are just some of the most popular ESP32 development boards (there are many other modules).

My project is to build a data logger. I"m using an ESP32 and a 2,8" SPI TFT-LCD with an ILI9341 controller and integrated SD-card slot along with some other sensors. I us the Arduino IDE because of the libraries and documentation. As seen in the code below, before starting the SD card everything works fine. However, after the SD card gets started (or any other function that originated from an included library gets called) any commands for the TFT simply get ignored. What is the reason for this?

Good points. I’m not interesting in the relay, would rather have a board without it. While you end up with an additional circuit board is pretty much any use of this, having pretty much all the esp32 pins exposed give considerable flexibility.

we have designed KC868-AG by ESP32 module, it’s easy to use ESPHome for home assistant. You can define RF buttons and IR buttons to control TV or air conditioner by IR signal.

It seems the Adafruit crew embraced this ethos with enthusiasm, as the latest tweets from their Twitter account tease us with renders of the soon-to-be-released ESP32-S2 TFT Feather.

At first glance, this seems to be a logical upgrade to the former ESP32 Feather boards, swapping out the ESP32 module and USB-Serial converter, for the hot, new ESP32-S2-MINI module.

Wired into the fast 40MHz SPI bus of the ESP32-S2, this board can refresh this pixel-packed panel at a theoretical maximum of 77 fps — that"s way more than is needed for liquid smooth animations - perfect to make use of some of the recent workwe"ve seenfromBitBank Software, and theiranimatedGIFlibraries perhaps!

This is a project in the incubator phase — Adafruit has thrown open a welcome reception to any suggestions that we can throw their way. Check out theTwitter threadfor more updates, or to chip in if you"ve got a suggestion for the next ESP32-S2 board to grace our shelves!
