Waveshare ESP32-P4-WIFI6 4.3inch Dev Board with OV5647 camera

Description

Waveshare ESP32-P4-WIFI6-Touch-LCD-4.3-C is a high-performance development board built around the ESP32-P4 and an onboard ESP32-C6-MINI wireless co-processor. It combines a 4.3 inch 480 800 IPS capacitive touch display, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5 LE, MIPI CSI camera support, audio input and output, TF card expansion, and a 40PIN expansion header in one integrated platform.

This SKU is the with OV5647 camera version, so it is better suited to embedded vision, smart control panels, AI interaction terminals, multimedia UI projects, and portable HMI development than the standard board-only version.

Other Content

The onboard ESP32-C6-MINI extends Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5 LE to the ESP32-P4 over the SDIO interface, giving this board stronger wireless capability than a standard display dev board. That makes it well suited to cloud-connected display terminals, smart dashboards, and interactive edge devices.

The 40PIN expansion header also helps this ESP32-P4 board fit into broader prototyping workflows, including selected Raspberry Pi HAT-style accessories where supported.
