ESP32-LCDKit¶
Overview¶
ESP32-LCDKit is an HMI (Human Machine Interface) development board with the ESP32-DevKitC at its core. ESP32-LCDKit is integrated with such peripherals as SD-Card, DAC-Audio, and can be connected to an external display. The board is mainly used for HMI-related development and evaluation.Development board reserved screen interface type: SPI serial interface, 8-bit parallel interface, 16-bit parallel interface.
You may find HMI-related examples running with ESP32-LCDKit in HMI Example.
