The Elecrow CrowPanel Advanced 7-inch ESP32-P4 HMI Display is a smart and versatile touchscreen interface and is available to makers, developers, and engineers to create smart devices, Internet of Things projects, and advanced embedded hardware. It is a high-performance computer with a vibrant visual display and a broad connection capability, so that it suits best interactive applications where user experience and processing power are important.
Fundamentally, the CrowPanel Advanced utilises the ESP32-P4 RISC-V dual-core CPU, which is highly capable of computing, handling more complicated interfaces and real-time data, and AI-related duties without problems. It has also been paired with a large memory, like 16 MB of Flash and 32 MB of PSRAM, which provides sufficient memory to facilitate the intensive graphics and operating system response.
Design and display
Does it have a multipenny capacitive touchscreen and a wide viewing angle with multi-touch 7-inch IPS resolution of 1024 × 600? The IPS panel guarantees a high-quality display and rich colour scheme, suitable for finer GUIs of smart home controllers, industrial monitors, or interactive dashboards.
This panel has a very good contour of being connected. It has an in-board wifi 6 module (ESP32-C6) and Bluetooth 5.3, which provides you with high-speed and reliable wireless connections to use in your IoT connections or remoting applications. Choose between several expansion options, which include the ability to replace with the wireless modules, either Zigbee, Thread, LoRa, or a proprietary 2.4 GHz radio, depending on the requirements of your project.
The CrowPanel Advanced isn’t just about display and wireless communication; it also supports interactive AI functions. Having optional features as a 2 MP camera and built-in microphones and speakers, it can drive vision-based (e.g. object recognition) and voice-based applications, and thus be utilised as either a smart assistant or an AI-generated control panel.
Software support and availability
Development flexibility is another highlight. The board has support of popular ecosystems, such as Arduino IDE, Espressif IDF, PlatformIO, and MicroPython and can be integrated with graphical libraries, such as LVGL, to assist with rapid development of engaging user interfaces.
Its high-resolution touchscreen, powerful wireless connectivity, and modular nature, combined with the ability of AI in its hardware, make the CrowPanel Advanced 7-inch ESP32 HMI AI Display an attractive platform to develop prototypes and deploy anywhere that performance and interactivity are important in intelligent end-user interfaces, home automation controllers, and in industrial applications.
The Elecrow CrowPanel Advanced 7-inch ESP32-P4 HMI AI Display is priced at around $45–$46 on Elecrow’s official store, with prices varying slightly based on currency conversion and seller. It is generally in stock on the Elecrow website and also available through select electronics retailers, though local pricing and availability may differ depending on region and shipping options.
