Which Board Should I Get?
- JC8012P4A1C (10.1") — Best for wall-mounted displays. The large portrait screen fits many departures at once and is readable from across a room. The USB-C port is on the side, making it easy to cable-manage when wall-mounted.
- JC1060P470C (7") — Good middle ground. Landscape orientation works well on a desk or shelf. The USB-C port is on the back, which can make wall mounting trickier.
- JC4880P443C (4.3") — Most compact option. Good for a desk or nightstand where space is tight. The USB-C port is on the back. Note that this board seems to have noticeably weaker WiFi reception compared to the other two.
All three boards support display rotation (0/90/180/270), so you can mount them in any orientation regardless of the native one.
What's in the Box
These boards typically ship with:
- The ESP32-P4 development board with integrated touchscreen
- A USB-C cable for power and flashing
No soldering or additional components are required — just plug in the USB cable, flash the firmware, and you're ready to go.
Display Rotation
Rotation is configurable from the Settings screen. The setting is saved and applied automatically on boot.
- 0/180 degrees use hardware rotation for best performance
- 90/270 degrees use software rotation via LVGL
Switching between hardware and software rotation modes requires a reboot, which the device will prompt you for.
