Espressif ESP32 Development Board - Developer Edition

The ESP8266 was a game - changer, offering WiFi in a compact and affordable package with sufficient processing power and pins for small - scale projects. Now, take your WiFi projects to new heights with the ESP32 Development Board! This board exposes all the module's pins via 0.1″ headers. It comes with a CP2102 USB - TTL serial adapter, programming and reset buttons, and a power regulator to ensure a stable 3.3V supply for the ESP32. Espressif beefed up the CPU with a dual - core running at 160MHz, along with plenty more pins and peripherals. Note that the ESP32 is mainly for developers. Not all peripherals have full example - code documentation, and there are still some bugs being sorted out. Many sensors and displays work well with the Arduino IDE, so you can expect I2C, SPI, and analog reads to function. Other features are under development. This board is best used with the Tensilica toolchain (ESP IDF) for better hardware support. The PCB color may vary. It's sized to cover both sides of a solderless breadboard without extra pins, so use two side - by - side if you're using a solderless breadboard.

Using the Espressif ESP32 Development Board is quite straightforward. First, connect it to your computer via the CP2102 USB - TTL serial adapter. You can then start programming it. If you're familiar with Arduino IDE, many sensors and displays will work right away. However, for better hardware - support coverage, we recommend using the Tensilica toolchain (ESP IDF). When using the board, keep in mind that it's still in development, so there might be some bugs and not all peripherals have full documentation. As for maintenance, make sure to keep the board in a dry and clean environment. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or moisture. If you're using it with a solderless breadboard, remember it's sized to cover both sides, so use two side - by - side if needed. Also, be gentle when pressing the programming and reset buttons to prevent any damage.
