GEN4-ESP32-43CT (Copy)
4.3" ESP32 SoC SMART HMI Display | 800 x 480 Pixels | Capacitive - Touch
The gen4 ESP32 4.3” Display Module features an 800x480 IPS TFT LCD and is driven by an ESP32-S3R8 Processor. It offers interfaces including UART, SPI, I2C, PWM, and analog, alongside LCD Touch and RTC. The module provides 16MB Quad SPI Flash, 8MB PSRAM, and includes an array of GPIOs, some shared with SPI and USB-C functionalities. It supports a 30-pin FPC connection for integration and is programmable via the Workshop4 IDE.
The gen4 ESP32 4.3” Integrated Display Module is part of the latest
gen4–ESP32 series of modules Designed and Manufactured by 4D Systems.
800×480 resolution IPS TFT LCD
The available 4.3 display modules are 800×480 resolution IPS TFT LCD Displays offering an RGB Interface between the ESP32-S3R8 Processor. Available in Non-Touch, Resistive Touch, Capacitive Touch, and Capacitive Touch with Cover Lens Bezel (CLB).
ESP32-S3R8 Processor
The ESP32-S3R8 Processor makes available multiple GPIO which include UART, SPI, I2C, PWM, and Analog functionality, while also serving interfaces for the LCD Touch screen, Real Time Clock, Quad SPI Flash, microSD Card, 8bit IO Expander, and Native USB-C.
30-pin FPC/ZIF socket
The user interface is a 30-pin FPC/ZIF socket, designed for a 30-way 0.5mm pitch FFC cable, for easy and simple connection to an application or motherboard, or for connecting to accessory boards for a range of functionality advancements.
Compatible with the Workshop4 IDE
This series of displays are compatible with the 4D Systems Workshop4 IDE, utilising the Espressif compiler and 4D Systems purpose-built libraries, allowing a feature-rich design and programming experience.
NOTE
Any code designed and written to run on other 4D Systems display modules, such as modules featuring Goldelox, Picaso, Pixxi, or Diablo16 Graphics Processors, are unfortunately not compatible with the gen4-ESP32 range due to being a totally different processor family. However, please contact 4D Systems Support Team for assistance if you are planning on migrating from a different 4D Systems display model, as there are some similarities between them – such as the graphics, however, a majority of the coding will have to be adapted.
From a mechanical perspective, these gen4-ESP32 modules are physically the same mounting size as other gen4 products by 4D Systems. The only difference is the circuitry used. The overall thickness of these gen4-ESP32 modules is greater than other gen4 products, due to the USB-C connector and coin cell battery holder for the RTC. Typically wherever a different gen4 module had been mounted, a gen4-ESP32 module could fit in the same location.
