ESP32 Project Box With Display and Auto-Dim Ready

ESP32 with Display Project Box

This is a compact, general-purpose project box designed for ESP32 projects with small TFT displays. While originally designed for an ESP32 nightstand clock, the enclosure is intentionally flexible and can be used for a wide variety of ESP32 + display applications.

The enclosure fits a 30-pin ESP32 development board (USB C or Micro USB compatible), a 1.54” 240×240 IPS TFT display (ST7789), and includes space for a light-dependent resistor (LDR) for projects that require ambient-light sensing or automatic brightness control.

The clean front design keeps electronics hidden while maintaining easy access to the display and sensors. This makes it well-suited for desk clocks, weather displays, IoT dashboards, status monitors, or other ESP32-based projects with a small screen.

Example firmware for my nightstand clock project along with wiring diagrams are available on GitHub

Remixes and modifications are welcome so feel free to adapt the enclosure for different boards, displays, or sensors to suit your project needs.
