2.8" ESP32-2432S028R ESP32 Display Resistive Touchscreen 240x320 TFT LCD Module ESP 32 Development Board + Acrylic Case for Arduino IDE

This is the third CYD I have purchased. They all have worked great. I didn't select to include the acrylic case for the first two but I did for this one. There are some variations on these boards.... Some of them have one USB input, others have two. This one I got with the case even has a UFL connection for an external antenna. Which is a definite bonus I wasn't expecting. But, still, I'm unsure if I'll need to sever the internal antenna connection to get the external one to work. Will just have to attach one and see what happens. My only gripe is that the acrylic case has a logo etched into it. It's not too noticeable, as it's on the bottom of the board. Also, these boards would be great if they included a dedicated connection for an external battery (without having to hijack other connections to do so). All in all, great quality boards at an affordable price.

The media could not be loaded. Apart from the DIYMalls engraving on the back of the mounting plates making it a bit annoying to take off protective layer, this product is great! It came with a demo program preloaded which was useful to make sure all the hardware worked. The seller sent the user manual upon request (according to the item description) and it looked fine -- similar to the Random Nerd Tutorials "Getting Started with ESP32 Cheap Yellow Display Board" which the seller also provided a link to. And that's a key piece of information: this kind of display is often called a "cheap yellow display", and there are lots of resources online for working with them.I jumped straight to PlatformIO instead using rzeldent/esp32-smartdisplay on GitHub and I definitely recommend that approach if you're somewhat familiar with writing for ESP32s. I used the esp32-2432S028Rv2 board, and then had to manually invert the colors: after smartdisplay_init, add:lv_display_t* display = lv_display_get_default();const esp_lcd_panel_handle_t panel_handle = static_cast<esp_lcd_panel_handle_t>(display->user_data);esp_lcd_panel_invert_color(panel_handle, false);Using LVGL let me make a pretty cool interface with very little effort.I'll definitely be getting more of these for future projects.

I am a retired electronics engineer, and I am more than familiar with IPC International standards. I must say that the build quality of this board is top notch. The acrylic is sturdy, and I like the board layout. It does not come with instructions, but there are numerous tutorials online that can walk you through getting started. Just be aware of which version you received. The description states it is an "R" version (2432S028R), but the one I received is not. There may be some differences in the pinout.Initially, Amazon shipped me an empty package. I tried to notify them, but their AI customer service would only allow me certain responses, none of which addressed my problem. The AI just kept going in circles. It was so frustrating! I finally got to chat with a person, and things sort of got resolved, but there were still problems (I don't want to write a book on here). At the end of it all, DIYmalls made it right. Top notch company.

So far it's been working, & working well. The display is decently smooth (refresh-wise) for what it is, & is comparable to an older android smartphone. Unfortunately, documentation is a lot more scarce then other boards/displays. Finding tutorials for Cheap Yellow Displays (CYD), have helped quite a bit. Overall it's not too bad. The acrylic is also a bit odd, as it doesn't fit as well as you'd think, but it does work for what it cost.

I bought this to make a Marauder and in less than 20 minutes it was put together and running. Next up is to modify it to have an external antenna. I also bought a small portable battery pack to attach it to.Very impressed with the ease of use and quality.

Nice product well made fun and easy to use

I spent hours getting mine to work. with no prior knowledge i got mine figured out with AI. If you get stuck just ask ai to generate a sketch that cycles thru different pin combinations so you can test a bunch at once..Here's the pin layout.Signal ESP32 PinTFT_MOSI 13TFT_MISO -1 (not used)TFT_SCLK 14TFT_CS 15TFT_DC 2TFT_RST 15 (shared with CS — hardwired on some boards)Backlight 21 (must be set HIGH)✍️ Touchscreen (XPT2046):Signal ESP32 PinTOUCH_CS 33TOUCH_IRQ 36TOUCH_MISO 39TOUCH_MOSI 32TOUCH_SCLK 25my user_setup#define USER_SETUP_ID 2432#define ILI9341_DRIVER#define TFT_WIDTH 320#define TFT_HEIGHT 240#define TFT_MISO -1#define TFT_MOSI 13#define TFT_SCLK 14#define TFT_CS 15#define TFT_DC 2#define TFT_RST 15#define TFT_BACKLIGHT 21#define LOAD_GLCD#define LOAD_FONT2#define LOAD_FONT4#define LOAD_FONT6#define LOAD_FONT7#define LOAD_FONT8#define LOAD_GFXFF#define SMOOTH_FONT#define SPI_FREQUENCY 27000000#define SPI_READ_FREQUENCY 16000000#define SUPPORT_TRANSACTIONSDiscord: Flame6

Very nice for the price. I was able to get the display to show text. I'm using mine to subscribe to an MQTT broker and display data.
