Olimex ESP32-S3-DevKit-Lipo Development Board

The Olimex ESP32-S3-DevKit-LiPo is a development board with an ESP32-S3 at its core, a separate USB-C USB JTAG/Debugger and LiPo charger with automatic power supply switching (amongst other features - see the full list below!).

A USB-C cable is not included - be sure to grab one here!

Please note this board's pins are wide - you'll need to straddle two breadboards clicked together to access the pins with jumper wires.

ESP32-S3 Onboard!

The ESP32-S3 is a dual-core XTensa LX7 MCU, capable of running at 240 MHz. Apart from its 512 KB of internal SRAM, it also comes with integrated 2.4 GHz, 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5 (LE) connectivity that provides long-range support. It has 45 programmable GPIOs and supports a rich set of peripherals. ESP32-S3 supports larger, high-speed octal SPI flash, and PSRAM with configurable data and instruction cache.
