Dual Roundy and Dual Squary are SB-Component’s New Display Modules
SB-Component’s Dual Roundy and Dual Squary are two new display modules powered by ESP32 or RP2040 chips. These tiny modules feature a swappable display, IMU, and multiple storage options.
This series of modules offers the Dual Roundy with a 1.28″ round display and Dual Squary with a 1.54″ square display, both 240 x 240 resolution. Both models offer RP2040 or ESP32 S3 WROOM-1 microcontrollers.
Taking a look at the specifications of our microcontrollers the ESP32 S3 WROOM-1 has a dual-core LX7 processor (up to 240 MHz) with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5, while the RP2040 features a dual ARM Cortex-M0+ processor at 133MHz
In our previous posts, we covered many ESP-based display modules like MaTouch display with rotary encoder, LILYGO T-Display S3, LILYGO T-Display-S3-Long, LILYGO T4 S3 and many other display-based modules, you can check those out if interested in the topic.

The Duo Display series has special deals on Kickstarter. The ‘Super Early Bird’ deal offers the Dual Roundy and Dual Squary models, each at about $58, with three different displays: RP2040, ESP32, and one with MicroSD. There’s also a ‘Super Saving Deal’ for around $115, which includes both Roundy and Squary models with the same three types of displays, plus an extra item called the Micro RP2040.
