What is it
This is a color SPI TFT module (ST7789-family driver, 320x240) that can be used with Sonocotta Esparagus audio boards. It's sold in two sizes, 2.0" and 2.4", sharing the same pinout and driver — only the panel itself is larger. For the board-specific pinout, refer to the board documentation and the silkscreen hints on the board.
⚠️ *Today, only the 2.0" size physically fits inside the Amped Esparagus and upcoming Louder Esparagus enclosure.
Features
- Sizes: 2.0" (fits Amped Esparagus) / 2.4" (Audio Brick DUAL, Louder-ESP32-Pro, etc.)
- Resolution: 320 x 240
- Interface: SPI
- Driver Control Chip: ST7789-family
- Pin Connector Options: matches the board's SPI display header
- Power voltage: 3.3V
Compatibility list
ESP32/ESP32-S3 Boards (2.0" size)
- Amped Esparagus — 2.0" only - TPA3118 (classic ESP32) and Amped Esparagus Plus (ESP32-S3) revisions only
- Louder-ESP32-Pro - 2.0" or 2.4" size
- Audio Brick DUAL - 2.0" or 2.4" size - DUAL DAC version only
The first generation of Esparagus devices use a smaller OLED instead and can't fit this TFT — see the SSH1106 30-pin OLED module if that's your board.
Practical Observations
| SPI HOST | SPI CLK | SPI MOSI | SPI MISO | DC | CS | RST | BL | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ESP32 (TPA3118) | 2 | 18 | 23 | 19 | 4 | 15 | 32 | 21 |

Software side
This screen is confirmed and actively used on the Amped Esparagus Plus (S3) ESPHome configs, showing playback status, track metadata, and weather. Dedicated configs can be found in the documentation — look for the optional TFT display package in the board's config folder.
It also works with Airplay firmware and enabled by default on Amped Esapragus Plus (S3) and Esapragus Audio Brick DUAL boards. The display is used to show the playback status, track and volume.
Squeezelite-ESP32/LMS color-TFT display support hasn't been validated on this screen yet (unlike the SH1106/SSD1306 OLED module, which has a documented display_config recipe) — if you get it working, let us know so we can document the settings here.
