Compatibility
The board is based on the ESP32-S3 platform and can be developed using supported ESP32-S3 software environments.
It is suitable for Arduino-based ESP32 development and can be used with graphical libraries and frameworks that support the ESP32-S3 and ST7789-family TFT displays.
The integrated display can also be used for LVGL-based graphical interfaces. LVGL does not require a touchscreen; non-touch interfaces can display menus, gauges, graphics, animations, sensor readings, status information, and other GUI elements.
Project-specific library configuration, GPIO mapping, display initialization, and firmware settings should be matched to this board before programming.
