ESP32-S3-DEV-KIT-N16R8-M Development Board

The Waveshare ESP32-S3-DEV-KIT-N16R8-M 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 clock frequency and offers integrated 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi and Bluetooth LE for wireless communication. In this variant, the pin headers are soldered from the factory, allowing the board to be used immediately on a breadboard. Development environments such as ESP-IDF, Arduino IDE, and MicroPython are supported.

Features:

• Pre-soldered pin headers enable immediate use on the breadboard
• Dual-core Xtensa LX7 processor with 240 MHz allows for compute-intensive applications
• 16 MB Flash and 8 MB PSRAM provide generous memory for complex programs
• Integrated Wi-Fi and Bluetooth LE allow for versatile wireless communication
• Two USB-C ports support native USB-OTG and UART programming
• Pinout compatibility with ESP32-S3-DevKitC-1 ensures easy migration

Application Examples:

• Rapid prototyping of IoT applications without soldering
• Voice assistants and audio streaming applications
• Edge machine learning with TensorFlow Lite
• Learning projects and workshops for beginners
• Smart home controllers and sensor networks
