If I remember correctly, Elecrow sent me an end-of-year gift with a notebook (paper style), a pen, and a 3.5-inch ESP32 terminal. I had completely forgotten about it, and while wondering what I would give for Giveaway Week 2023, and looking around in drawers and on shelves, I found an “ESP32 Terminal” package, and I was like “What the F is that and where is it coming from?”.
Long story short, the 6th prize of this year’s giveaway week is Elecrow’s ESP32 Terminal with a 3.5-inch touchscreen display that also comes with a front-facing OV2640 camera and six Crowtail connectors for expansion plus a LiPo battery connector.
I’d ship the terminal with its USB-C cable as shown in the first photo. The company provides a wiki with instructions explaining how to use the ESP32 device with Arduino, SquareLine, PlatformIO, MicroPython, and ESP-IDF. Whenever practical, I always try to test review samples before offering them to avoid disappointment (and embarrassment), and Elecrow’s ESP32 terminal boots to a graphics demo.
It’s a demo based on the popular LVGL library that showcases the display and touchscreen capabilities. You’ll find a video demo below showing what it looks like and how to re-flash it yourself if needed.
To enter the draw simply leave a comment with your country and whatever else you’d like to say (no links in the body of the comment). If the country is missing, I’ll consider the entry void. Other rules are as follows:
If you don’t end up being lucky, you can always purchase Elecrow ESP32 Terminal on their shop for about $36 plus shipping.

ESP32 is fun and 207 participants have entered the contest. Random.org selected #28. That would be Ramin.
The first winner did not reply on time, so I have to pick up another one: Number 157 meaning that “Pch Simon” has won. Congratulations! I’ll contact you by email shortly.
