The CrowPanel Advance 2.8” HMI AI Display for Meshtastic is a powerful and compact intelligent display designed for advanced IoT and embedded applications. As part of the CrowPanel Advance Series, this version integrates the SX1262 LoRa module, enabling seamless connectivity to the Meshtastic mesh network for reliable off-grid communication.

Powered by the ESP32-S3 processor, featuring a dual-core Xtensa LX7 CPU running up to 240MHz, along with 512KB SRAM, 8MB PSRAM, and 16MB Flash, the display delivers strong processing performance for complex applications.

The 2.8-inch IPS display (320×240 resolution) offers a 178° wide viewing angle and responsive capacitive touch, ensuring a smooth and intuitive user experience.

A key highlight is its integrated AI functionality, supporting voice interaction through a microphone and speaker interface. Users can perform voice recognition and speech synthesis, enabling seamless interaction with smart assistants.

With support for Arduino IDE, Espressif IDF, PlatformIO, and compatibility with the LVGL graphics library, developers can easily build customized UI applications. Combined with flexible wireless expansion and rich interfaces, this display is ideal for modern smart systems and HMI solutions.
