Review on πŸ“Ά Hiletgo ESP32 LCD WiFi Kit: Develop with Ease using the 1.14 Inch LCD Display, WiFi, Bluetooth & USB Type-C for Arduino ESP8266 NodeMCU by Shawn Quick

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great little ESP32 board but the button broke the second day

Interesting to program, great that it has a TFT display for the price. Unfortunately, on the second day, the cap came off the right button. I tried putting the button cap back on and the button body broke. I'm only deducting one star for the broken button because everything else about this little board is awesome. Apart from the plastic problem, the small board is great. Super capable (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPIO). The screen is really high resolution - not a lot of pixels but it's very small so the density is high. Very low power consumption: I ran it on my phone charger for about an hour and the battery was still at 100%. The board has a USB-C connector for power and firmware, which is very convenient compared to the micro-USB that was common in the past. LilyGo's Github repository has many examples demonstrating the capabilities of the board and screen. All in all a nice board. I wish the quality of the button was higher and I'd love to find a cheap little case for this thing.

Pros
  • Delivery was very quick
Cons
  • Not much repairability
