ESP32-S3-DEV-KIT-N16R8 Development Board

The Waveshare ESP32-S3-DEV-KIT-N16R8 is a compact microcontroller development board based on the ESP32-S3-WROOM-1-N16R8 module from Espressif. The powerful Xtensa 32-bit LX7 dual-core processor operates at up to 240 MHz and offers integrated 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi and Bluetooth LE for wireless communication. The pin headers are not pre-soldered in this variant and are supplied separately, providing maximum flexibility for integration into custom projects. The castellated design of the board also enables direct soldering onto carrier boards.

Features:

• Dual-core Xtensa LX7 processor with 240 MHz enables compute-intensive applications
• 16 MB flash and 8 MB PSRAM provide ample memory for complex programs
• Integrated Wi-Fi and Bluetooth LE allow versatile wireless communication
• Two USB-C ports support native USB-OTG and UART programming
• Pinout compatibility with ESP32-S3-DevKitC-1 ensures easy migration
• Castellated pads enable direct SMD mounting on carrier boards

Application Examples:

• IoT devices with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity
• Voice assistants and audio streaming applications
• Machine learning at the edge with TensorFlow Lite
• Wearables and portable electronics with low power consumption
• Smart home controllers and sensor networks
