2.8" ESP32 Development Board WiFi Bluetooth ESP32-2432S028R Dual-core 240x320 Smart LCD Display TFT Module Touch Screen for Arduino IDE IoT

I ordered a set of these to use for playing around with Nerdminer. After doing some digging I found that these kits were perfect.These kits are absolutely great for anyone looking to tinker. With an ESP32, display, and more onboard there is all kinds of projects that would be perfect for this kit. The included plastic case provides plenty of protection if you're looking to run it as is.As far as using it for Nerdminer, it's perfect. After flashing an image it booted right up and was ready to mine. I won't be hitting any blocks soon, but it's a pretty cool conversation starter!

Did not received the item pictured as this board has a microUSB and a USB3 port. There's some discussion about this board having components not the same as the single microUSB port board. From what I found, some of these boards unofficially designated as CYD2USB have a different processor and a ST7789 display instead of the ILI9341. Initially, this board didn't work with the recommended libraries but after reloading the libs it works with the 'standard' CYD libs and sketches. I did find a couple schematics for the double USB version and the pins match the definitions in the Random Nerd Tutorials for the CYD they use. Mine appears to work satisfactorily.

Just got this development board today, wasn't sure what to expect but after doing some searching and reading, was able to program the display with the current temp and humidity from an attached DTH22 sensor. The board, referred to as a CYB (cheap yellow board), is well built, came with a two piece plastic cover, a power cable, and one accessory cable (attached to the DTH). Again, I wasn't sure what to expect but I'm really impressed and plan to purchase at least one more for home automation programs. Note: It does require programming with either Arduino IDE, Platform IO or Python so you will need to know the basics beyond just the ESP32 programming platform using the TFT_eSPI (or similar) library.

used this to run klipper monitor..it's awesome!

No issues, worked with arduino IDE. Had to fiddle with a few things, but nothing exceptional compared to other dev boards.

Boards were received on time and in working order, with nice acrylic cases. Minus one star for a lack of up-to-date documentation/schematics/etc. These are the "v3" or "CYD2USB" (I've seen them called both) which, depending on what Google has to say on any given day, may require the ST7789 Mode3 controller (driver) vs. the ILI9341 which the original (single micro USB version) uses. Again, the boards are functional but you may find not all "native" CYD code will work as expected.

I'm impressed with this ESP32 development board, especially for the price. I was able to get it up and running with lvgl, but it took some moderate programming knowledge. The resistive touchscreen isn't as responsive as I would like, but it is good enough for most tasks.

The "2.8" ESP32 Development Board WiFi Bluetooth ESP32-2432S028R Dual-core 240x320 Smart LCD Display TFT Module Touch Screen for Arduino IDE IoT" I received is a generic version as found elsewhere on the market.If you are new to ESP32 programming, and would like to learn a bit about it using micropython for instance, just google "2.8" ESP32 Development Board micropython." You will find a lot of examples for manipulating all the features. Some have used this board to control lighting on certain 3d printers as an example.This development board has a resistive touch screen, not capacitance touch. I personally don't care for resistive as they are inherently buggy, but as long as you code carefully and trap stray presses, it works fairly well in my experience.For the most part, it does what the listing states. One star removed for it having a resistive touch screen and for the lack of decent documentation. Not everyone knows everything about these. It would benefit everyone if easy examples were made available by those who sell them.
