What is it?

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 ESP32 series comparison shows the clear difference between ESP32/S2/S3, and the C series.

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.
