Powerful Processing & Ample Memory for AI Models: Dual-core ESP32-S3 @ 240MHz, 16MB Flash, 8MB PSRAM
Handle complex AI models and data with ease. The Xtensa LX7 dual-core processor provides raw power, while the generous 16MB Flash stores large programs and 8MB PSRAM is essential for holding machine learning models (like TensorFlow Lite Micro) and image buffers. Train and deploy more sophisticated face recognition models or voice command systems directly on the board.
Powerful Chip
Robust Connectivity & IoT Ready: WiFi 4 (802.11 b/g/n) & Bluetooth 5 LE/Mesh, Matter Support
Connect projects effortlessly to the cloud, smartphones, or other devices. Features stable WiFi (station/AP modes) and energy-efficient Bluetooth 5 with support for Bluetooth Mesh and Espressif WiFi Mesh for large networks. Matter protocol compatibility future-proofs smart home device development. Ideal for remote monitoring and wireless data transmission.
Simplified Development & Power Management: Arduino/MicroPython/ESP-IDF, GDI Display Port, Battery Charging
Get started quickly with popular frameworks: Arduino IDE for simplicity, MicroPython for rapid scripting, or ESP-IDF for maximum control. The onboard GDI port simplifies connecting displays. Integrated power management supports Li-ion battery charging (up to 1A) and features hardware power on/off control for low-power projects and portable applications.
Optimized Design & Reliability: Independent Camera Power, Anti-Interference, Industrial Temp Range
