## Description

# WT32-SC01 Plus

The WT32-SC01 Plus is an ESP32-S3-based development board by Wireless-Tag, featuring a built-in 3.5-inch capacitive touch IPS LCD display with 480x320 resolution. It is widely used for building custom human-machine interfaces (HMI), smart home control panels, IoT dashboards, and digital signage projects.

## Key Features

- **ESP32-S3** dual-core Xtensa LX7 processor with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.0
- **3.5" IPS LCD** with capacitive touch (480x320 resolution)
- **16MB flash** and **8MB PSRAM** for demanding UI applications
- **USB-C** connector for programming and power
- Compatible with LVGL graphics library for rich UI development
- Supports Arduino, ESP-IDF, MicroPython, and ESPHome firmware frameworks

## Getting Started

The board can be programmed using the Arduino IDE, PlatformIO, or ESP-IDF. For graphical UI projects, LVGL is the most popular choice, offering a rich widget library and smooth animations that take full advantage of the ESP32-S3's processing power and the board's PSRAM.

ESPHome support makes it easy to integrate into Home Assistant for smart home control panels without writing code.
