ESP32 Development Board w/Full Color 1.44″ 128×128 Pixel TFT Display + SD Card + MPU9250 IMU

This board is an excellent platform for developing with the ESP32 SoC, a single chip solution that combines Bluetooth and 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi capabilities. Different than our other development board, this one includes a 1.44″ TFT display that communicates with the ESP32 over SPI and has a resolution of 128×128 pixels and 16-bit full color capacity. It also carries a micro SD card adapter for applications requiring additional storage space, and a MPU9250 9-axis IMU (accelerometer + gyroscope + compass).Active-matrix LCDs depend on thin film transistors (TFTs). TFTs are tiny switching transistors and capacitors. They are arranged in a matrix on a glass substrate. To address a particular pixel, the proper row is switched on, and then a charge is sent down the correct column. If we carefully control the amount of voltage supplied to a liquid crystal, we can make it untwist only enough to allow some light through. Doing this in very exact, very small increments, LCDs can create a gray scale (usually 256 levels).

The MPU-9250 is a 9-axis Motion Tracking device that combines a 3-axis gyroscope, 3-axis accelerometer, 3-axis magnetometer and a Digital Motion Processor.
