It is aimed at panels that go beyond the usual SPI-driven sizes and resolutions, including square, round and bar-style displays that need continuous pixel data rather than an onboard frame buffer.At the heart of the board is an ESP32-S3 module with plenty of memory for display work, using the chip's built-in RGB display peripheral to drive the panel with fast full-screen updates. Adafruit routes the TFT connection for 5-6-5 colour data along with HSync, VSync, Data Enable and Pixel Clock, making it suitable for graphics, images, animation and similar display-heavy projects.The 40-pin connector pinout also supports capacitive touch overlays, with touch lines wired to the shared I2C bus. A PCA9554 I/O expander helps free up the ESP32-S3's pins for display reset and initialisation duties, while still leaving a 4-pin SPI port, two additional analog GPIO pins, hardware UART TX for debugging, and a STEMMA QT / Qwiic connector for adding sensors or other I2C devices.Power and programming are handled over USB-C, and the onboard TPS61169 constant-current driver provides backlight control for compatible TFTs. This is the development board only, so you will need to supply your own RGB-666 display and set up the panel's initialisation code, dimensions and timing values in Arduino or CircuitPython. Adafruit notes known-working examples including 2.1" 480x480 round panels, 4" 720x720 square and round panels, and a 4.6" 960x320 bar display.Features:Display interface: Designed for displays that use the 40-pin RGB-666 connector.Common panel types: This pin order is most commonly seen on square, round and bar displays.Controller: Uses an ESP32-S3 module with 16 MB of Flash and 8 MB of octal PSRAM.RGB output: Uses the ESP32-S3's built-in RGB display peripheral.TFT signals: 16 pins are connected to the TFT for 5-6-5 RGB colour, plus HSync, VSync, Data Enable and Pixel Clock.Touch support: The connector includes pins for a capacitive touch overlay.Touch wiring: Capacitive touch is wired to the ESP32-S3's I2C port.Backlight driver: Includes a TPS61169 constant current backlight control circuit.Backlight range: The backlight circuit can get up to 30V forward voltage and can be configured for 25mA-200mA in 25mA increments (default is 25mA).USB connectivity: Power and programming is provided over a USB C connector.Native USB: The USB C connector is wired to the ESP32-S3's native USB port.Debug access: The hardware UART TX pin is available for debugging.I/O expander: Includes a PCA9554 I/O expander on the shared I2C bus.Display control: Arduino or CircuitPython can be instructed to use the expander to reset and initialise the display if necessary.Button inputs: Remaining expander pins are connected to two right-angle buttons.Backlight control: Remaining expander pins are connected to the display backlight.SPI breakout: The expander allows a full 4-pin SPI port to be available.Extra GPIO: Two more analog GPIO pins are available.Expansion port: Includes a shared I2C port with a STEMMA QT / Qwiic connector.Software ecosystem: Known-working displays can be used in Arduino or CircuitPython.Important note: You will need to program the driver initialisation code, dimensions, and pulse widths for your display.Included in the box: This is just the development board; a display is not included.Specifications:Product Dimensions: 57.3mm x 44.4mm x 7.1mm / 2.3" x 1.7" x 0.3"Product Weight: 13.3g / 0.5ozA solid choice for custom UI projects, instrument panels, media demos and other builds that need a bigger, brighter TFT than typical SPI displays can handle. **Product Type:** Display Driver Board ## Images - [Image 1](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkDp0QBSSIIcHVyBjsAVEkiDGJsb2JfaWQGOwBG--5b38a6ed4d69b693b2eea14a34591fcd2731d702/5800-06.jpg) - [Image 2](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkDqEQBSSIIcHVyBjsAVEkiDGJsb2JfaWQGOwBG--c14baabca1822bd9c509a8364dec54399fd7f425/5800-00.jpg) - [Image 3](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkDqUQBSSIIcHVyBjsAVEkiDGJsb2JfaWQGOwBG--2404d6a577354aa11bea956ff8df1ab83cbbe3ab/5800-05.jpg) - [Image 4](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkDrEQBSSIIcHVyBjsAVEkiDGJsb2JfaWQGOwBG--b5b94dd549fcbd8e6312cb3d792008de85db8cb1/5800-02.jpg) - [Image 5](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkDrUQBSSIIcHVyBjsAVEkiDGJsb2JfaWQGOwBG--2ac7ac02a36303c014c3cefa3dcc7567280ec871/5800-03.jpg) - [Image 6](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkDrkQBSSIIcHVyBjsAVEkiDGJsb2JfaWQGOwBG--2d939992a9bea550ff348d2c61870aa80c970ca8/5800-04.jpg) - [Image 7](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkDr0QBSSIIcHVyBjsAVEkiDGJsb2JfaWQGOwBG--bca8ea06fbacac43bf9ba8879dc058cb00bc5205/5800-01.jpg) --- ## Finding & Searching Products If a part listed here isn't quite what you need, you can search Little Bird Electronics' full catalogue: - **Search by keyword:** `GET https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/products.md?q={search_term}` — searches title, vendor, SKU, tags, and MPN - **Search via JSON:** `GET https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/products.json?q={search_term}` — structured JSON results - **Browse by collection:** `GET https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/collections/{handle}.json` — products in a specific collection - **Filter in-stock only:** `GET https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/products.md?q={term}&in_stock=1` - **Individual product detail:** `GET https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/products/{handle}.md` — full specs, pricing, stock levels, variants Search supports multi-word queries (AND logic).
