The CrowPanel Advance 7.0-inch ESP32-P4 HMI AI display is an ESP32-P4 HMI terminal that is similar to the GUITION 7-inch touchscreen display. It also adds an ESP32-C6 module for WiFi 6, Bluetooth LE, and 802.15.4 connectivity, and is suitable for Smart Home, industrial automation, and AIoT applications.
It features a 7-inch 1024×600 IPS capacitive touchscreen and optional AI vision and audio through a 2MP MIPI-CSI camera for face and object recognition, and a speaker header and a dual microphone array for interactive voice applications. The smart display also supports interchangeable wireless expansion for Zigbee/Thread, LoRa, and 2.4 GHz proprietary (nRF2401) connectivity.

The display can be programmed with multiple development environments, like the ESP-IDF framework and the Arduino IDE, in combination with LVGL for embedded GUI and AI application development. It’s also compatible with MicroPython, Rust, and Lua, and on top of that, it has support for Visual Studio Code with the ESP-IDF extension (v5.4.2) for compiling and flashing firmware. More information is available on the wiki.
In the package, you will get the main display unit, a USB-A to Type-C cable, and a 4-pin Crowtail/Grove DuPont cable for connectivity. You will also get the optional wireless modules ESP32-H2 for Thread/Zigbee, nRF2401 for 2.4GHz, Wi-Fi HaLow, and SX1262 LoRa with 868/915MHz antenna for flexible wireless communication and IoT integration.
The CrowPanel Advance 7-inch ESP32-P4 HMI display is available on the Elecrow store for $45.90 without a camera, and the price goes up to $53.90 for the display with a camera module. It might eventually become available on the company’s Amazon store too, along with other Elecrow HMI solutions.
