The ESP32-S3-Tiny is a small-sized microcontroller development board that comes with various digital interfaces. The product uses a split design, allowing the USB and button circuits to be separated, which reduces the overall PCB thickness and size. Despite its tiny form factor, it brings out 34 GPIO pins, making it easier for users to integrate it into their projects. Its split design, compact dimensions, and extremely thin thickness make it very suitable for projects that require a small footprint.
Hardware Overview:
The board is equipped with the ESP32-S3 chip, which integrates a high-performance Xtensa® 32-bit LX7 dual-core processor, ultra-low power co-processor, Wi-Fi baseband, Bluetooth baseband, RF module, and peripherals. It supports compatibility and expansion for various peripheral devices, making it more convenient for users.
Software Support:
It can be developed using the ESP-IDF development environment or the Arduino IDE, allowing for an easy and fast learning curve, and facilitating seamless application into products.
