ESP32-S3 3.5" Touch Panel (SC01 PLUS)
Build a real control panel, not a toy. The SC01 PLUS gives you a 3.5" 480x320 capacitive touchscreen on an ESP32-S3, with enough resolution and responsiveness for production-quality interfaces. Wire it to your smart home, CNC machine, 3D printer, or custom appliance. WiFi and Bluetooth are built in for wireless control.
Project idea: Build a 3D printer control panel that shows print progress, temperature graphs, and pause/resume controls over WiFi using the OctoPrint API.
Key Features
- 3.5" capacitive touchscreen (480x320): large enough for multi-element UIs with actual usability
- ESP32-S3 dual-core 240MHz: handles LVGL animations and WiFi data fetching simultaneously
- WiFi + Bluetooth 5.0: connect to Home Assistant, MQTT, REST APIs, or BLE peripherals
- Serial port broken out: talk to Arduino, Raspberry Pi, or any UART device directly
- USB-C for power and programming: one cable for development
- LVGL and SquareLine Studio compatible: drag-and-drop UI design with export to firmware
- 8MB PSRAM: buffer large images, charts, or data without running out of memory
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the SC01 PLUS compare to the Sunton ESP32-S3 LVGL board?
The SC01 PLUS has a larger 3.5" screen (vs typical 2.4-2.8" on Sunton boards) and more PSRAM for complex UIs. It also breaks out a serial port for direct hardware communication. Choose the SC01 PLUS when screen real estate matters or you need UART connectivity.
Can I power this from a 5V supply for permanent installation?
Yes. The USB-C port accepts standard 5V power. For clean permanent installs, you can solder directly to the 5V and GND pins on the header. Current draw is typically 200-400mA depending on screen brightness and WiFi activity.
