Product Overview
The ESP32-2432S028R (often called the “Cheap Yellow Display”) combines an ESP32 with a 2.8-inch 240 × 320 colour TFT and a resistive touch panel on one board.
With Wi-Fi and Bluetooth built in and LVGL support, it is a quick way to build touch dashboards, Home Assistant panels and small HMIs.
