Gravity 2.0 Inch IPS Colour Display 320×240 with I2C and UART

This Gravity colour display from DFRobot has its own controller (ESP32-S3) and is controlled with simple commands via I2C or UART. The controller draws text, shapes, more than 200 icons, animations and controls such as progress bars, gauges and charts with LVGL itself, the connected board only sends commands. This suits Arduino UNO, ESP32 and micro:bit, also with MakeCode and Mind+. Own images and icons are copied via USB-C to the internal 8 MB memory.

Recommended Accessories:

• Gravity IO Expansion Shield for Arduino V7.1
• Gravity Micro:bit Expansion Board for Boson and

Features:

• 2.0 inch IPS display, 320 × 240 pixels, 16 bit (RGB565), 250 cd/m², viewing angle 80° in all directions
• Control via I2C or UART on the PH2.0-4P Gravity connector, selected with a DIP switch (I2C by default), logic level 3.3 V to 5 V
• More than 200 icons, PNG images and GIF animations, plus progress bars, sliders, compass, gauges and charts
• Fonts for Chinese, English, Japanese and Korean
• USB-C only as USB storage (8 MB) for own images, not for programming
• While a computer accesses the storage, the display cannot read it; afterwards restart the display (DFRobot FAQ)
• RST and BOOT buttons (BOOT only for firmware), blue power LED
• 3 mm mounting holes

Application Examples:

• Display for weather stations and data loggers
