Key Features

  • 【ESP32-S3 GOLD EDITION BOARD】Powered by the ESP32-S3-WROOM-1 module with dual-core 240MHz Xtensa LX7 CPU and AI vector instructions, WiFi 802.11 b/g/n, and Bluetooth 5.0 LE. Lead-free ENIG (Electroless Nickel Immersion Gold) finish for good durability, oxidation resistance, and signal integrity.
  • 【16MB FLASH + 8MB PSRAM】16MB Flash holds large programs, web servers, OTA partitions, and asset libraries. Dedicated 8MB PSRAM enables graphics-intensive applications: LVGL touch UIs, ESP32-CAM streaming, audio playback with decoding, AI/ML on-device inference, and complex IoT systems.
  • 【PINPULSE SHIELD WITH DUAL HEADERS + GPIO LEDs】Every GPIO breaks out to both 2.54mm male and female headers, accepting any jumper wire type (M-M, M-F, F-F). Each pin includes an indicator LED via 74HC14D high-impedance buffered logic ICs — see HIGH/LOW states instantly without a multimeter, while SPI, I2C, UART, and PWM signals stay clean.
  • 【PLUG & PLAY DISPLAY + DUAL USB-C】Dedicated 15-pin FPC connector connects to Lonely Binary TFT, E-Ink, and touch displays via a single ribbon cable. Two USB-C ports: one for native USB OTG (HID/MSC/CDC) and one for UART programming/debugging. (Displays sold separately.)
  • 【CODE YOUR WAY + WHAT'S INCLUDED】Compatible with Arduino IDE, ESP-IDF, MicroPython, C/C++, and PlatformIO. Box includes 1x ESP32-S3 Gold Edition board, 1x PinPulse Shield, and 1x USB-A to USB-C cable. Displays sold separately. Suitable for IoT engineers, makers, robotics, AI/ML on edge, and educators teaching embedded systems.
