ESP32-C5 WiFi 6 Development Board with 32MB Flash and 8MB PSRAM

The ESP32-C5 WiFi 6 Development Board by Waveshare is based on the ESP32-C5-WROOM-1 module and is designed for dual-band Wi-Fi and multi-protocol IoT applications. The ESP32-C5 chip features a single-core RISC-V processor with a clock speed of up to 240 MHz, providing sufficient computing power for parallel protocol stacks and moderate application loads. The board supports dual-band Wi-Fi 6 on the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands, enabling fast and stable wireless communication. In addition to Wi-Fi, it also integrates Bluetooth 5 (LE), Zigbee 3.0, and Thread, making it a versatile node for smart home and IoT gateway scenarios. This variant is equipped with 32 MB of flash memory and 8 MB of PSRAM, along with 384 KB of static RAM and 320 KB of ROM. Programming is supported via common development environments like ESP-IDF and Arduino IDE, facilitating quick prototyping. An integrated battery management system with a reserved 3.7V MX1.25 connector allows operation via an external lithium battery. The USB Type-C interface serves both for programming and power supply. The castellated module design also enables direct soldering onto carrier boards and offers numerous peripheral interfaces. Multiple low-power operating modes allow flexible adjustments of range, data rate, and power consumption to meet specific requirements. The pinout is compatible with the ESP32-S3-DevKitC-1 Development Board.
