Great board, minor documentation gaps
Hardware quality is excellent and the RISC-V architecture runs very efficiently. Had to dig into GitHub for some specific display examples, but overall a solid choice.

Solid performance
Fast boot times and good processing power for the price. The touch interface on the screen is responsive. Would give 5 stars if it had more GPIO pins broken out.

Perfect for IoT Prototyping
The Wi-Fi 6 support is a game changer for my smart home projects. The screen is crisp and the library support in Arduino IDE was seamless.
Q: Does the 1.47" screen support touch input?
A: No, this specific model features a standard TFT LCD without capacitive touch functionality. It is controlled via SPI interface.
Q: Can I power this board with a 3.7V LiPo battery directly?
A: While the board operates at 3.3V logic, we recommend using a regulated 5V source via USB or a dedicated battery management module to ensure stability and prevent damage.
Q: Is this board compatible with MicroPython?
A: Yes, the ESP32-C6 is fully supported by MicroPython. You can find the latest firmware builds on the official MicroPython website.
Q: Are there example codes available for the LCD screen?
A: Yes, please visit the product wiki page linked in the description. We provide comprehensive examples for both Arduino and ESP-IDF frameworks.
Q: What is the maximum current draw for the RGB LED?
A: The onboard WS2812 RGB LED typically draws around 20mA per color channel at full brightness, totaling approximately 60mA when white.
