Last week, I wrote about the ESP32-C5-LCD-1.47 as one of the first ESP32-C5 devkits with a built-in display enabling dual-band WiFi 6 connectivity for IoT and HMI projects. However, one reader lamented the lack of touch-capable screens, at which point kwchow pointed to the ESP32-C5-Touch-LCD-2.8 model offering just that by pairing an ESP32-C5 with a 2.8-inch IPS display with capacitive touch and 320×480 resolution.The new board also features a microSD card, a USB-C port for power and programming, a built-in microphone and a speaker connector, a few sensors, and various I/Os connectors for expansion. Let’s have a closer look.ESP32-C5-Touch-LCD-2.8 specifications:
Wireless module – Espressif Systems ESP32-C5-WROOM-1-N32R8
SoC – ESP32-C5HR8
Single-core 32-bit RISC-V processor @ up to 240 MHz
Low-power RISC-V core @ 40 MHz acting as the main processor for power-sensitive applications
