Product Description

ESP32S3DevKitC-1 Development Board

EntryLevel WiFi + Bluetooth LE MCU Module for AIoT Projects

The ESP32S3DevKitC1 is an entrylevel development board equipped with ESP32S3WROOM1, ESP32S3WROOM1U, or ESP32S3WROOM2 modules, providing a generalpurpose Wi-Fi + Bluetooth LE MCU platform [citation:1]. Most I/O pins are broken out to pin headers on both sides for easy interfacing with peripherals or breadboard mounting [citation:1][citation:3].

Powerful AIoT Processing Xtensa 32bit LX7 dual-core processor up to 240MHz [citation:7][citation:9]
Rich Peripherals - SPI, LCD, Camera interface, UART, I2C, I2S, USB OTG, ADC, and more [citation:7]
Operating Voltage: USB 5V (via MicroUSB or USBC) or via 5V/3.3V pins [citation:1]
Flash/PSRAM Options: 8MB Flash 8MB PSRAM (N8R8), 32MB Flash 16MB PSRAM (N32R16V) [citation:3][citation:5]
Use USBtoUART port (Micro-USB) for programming; native USB port supports JTAG debugging and USB OTG [citation:1][citation:3]

Troubleshooting

Board not detected:

  • Use a datacapable USB cable (not chargeonly) [citation:1]
  • Ensure correct USBtoUART port is connected (Micro-USB)
  • Install CP210x USBtoUART drivers if needed

Programming fails:

  • Hold Boot button while pressing Reset to enter download mode [citation:1]
  • Select the correct board (ESP32S3DevKitC-1) in IDE
  • Check that the correct port is selected for serial communication
