WaveShare ESP32-S3 1.3inch Display Development Board 240x240 6-axis IMU 2 in 1 accessory

SKU CH-BQTM-QK66T

A 1.3 inch 240x240 LCD development board with 262K colours, SPI communication, 90 degree hardware rotation and a built-in 6-axis IMU for IoT and embedded projects

  • Sharp 1.3" visuals with 240×240 resolution and 262K colours
  • Built-in 6-axis IMU enables precise motion sensing
  • SPI interface delivers fast data transfer for connected devices
  • 90° hardware rotation simplifies portrait or landscape mounting
  • Official Wiki resources accelerate IoT and embedded development

1.3" 240×240 ESP32-S3 Display Board

The WaveShare ESP32-S3 development board integrates a 1.3-inch LCD with a 240 by 240 pixel resolution and 262K colour depth. An on-board 6-axis IMU adds motion sensing for orientation-aware projects. SPI communication provides a straightforward interface for microcontroller connections. The board targets engineers and hobbyists building compact IoT or embedded display prototypes.

ST7789V2 Driver with 90° Hardware Rotation

The ST7789V2 driver handles the panel directly, removing the need for an external display controller in many designs. Native 90-degree hardware rotation lets the screen switch between portrait and landscape without software overhead. This replaces setups that rely on software rotation or separate driver boards, saving PCB space and MCU cycles. The jump is worth it when a project demands a square aspect ratio and quick orientation changes in a 1.3-inch form factor.

240×240 Pixel Canvas with 262K Colours

The 240 by 240 pixel grid delivers sharp graphics for icons, sensor readouts and simple animations within the 1.3-inch diagonal. 262K colours cover UI elements and data visualisation comfortably. The SPI link and ESP32-S3 processor keep frame updates responsive for real-time dashboards. Headroom runs out when applications need video playback, high-frame-rate gaming graphics or larger touch targets beyond the compact display area.

Questions about this item

What size panel and connector pitch does the 1.3 inch display module use?

The module has a 1.3 inch 240x240 pixel LCD driven by an ST7789V2 controller over an SPI interface.

How do I wire the SPI pins and IMU on the ESP32-S3 board for first power-up?

Connect the display and IMU to the ESP32-S3 SPI pins as shown in the official Wiki wiring diagram; the common mistake is swapping the MOSI and SCLK lines.

Will the ST7789V2 driver or 6-axis IMU need firmware updates or recalibration later?

The ST7789V2 driver is fixed in hardware; the 6-axis IMU may need occasional recalibration through your application code but has no replaceable parts.
