Adafruit ESP32-S3 Reverse TFT Feather
5 units available with a short lead time.
The Adafruit ESP32-S3 Reverse TFT Feather places a 1.14" IPS colour TFT display (240×135 pixels, ST7789) on the back of the board, making it ideal for panel-mounted projects where the screen faces outward through an enclosure. Three user buttons (D0, D1, D2) alongside the display provide a complete built-in interface.
Built around the dual-core ESP32-S3 at 240 MHz with native USB, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth LE, 4 MB flash, and 2 MB PSRAM. A secondary low-dropout regulator with GPIO control can independently power down the TFT, STEMMA QT port, and NeoPixel for ultra-low power — approximately 40–50 µA in deep sleep with everything off.
