ESP32-S3 RJ45 ETH POE Development Board Kit

The ESP32-S3 RJ45 ETH POE Development Board Kit is the perfect choice for anyone looking to develop robust IoT applications. With a powerful ESP32-S3 processor, it offers a versatile interface for Ethernet, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth, allowing you to establish reliable network connections. The RJ45 port and the Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) capability ensure flexible and energy-efficient use. The dual-core processor runs at up to 240 MHz, which allows for fast processing, and the built-in 16 MB flash memory provides ample space for applications. Thanks to the TF card slot, you can expand storage and save files directly on the board. The USB Type-C port makes it easy to upload programs and power the board. Additionally, the board supports connection to cameras like the OV2640 and can therefore be used for video surveillance as well. The Pico-compatible pin header allows you to combine the board with Raspberry Pi HATs and expand your projects. The ESP32-S3 is ideal for projects in smart home, industrial automation, and image processing.
