The ESP32-S3-DEVKITC-1-N8R8 is an official development board from Espressif Systems, built around the ESP32-S3-WROOM-1-N8R8 module. It supports 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi (802.11 b/g/n) and Bluetooth® 5.x (BLE), making it ideal for IoT, wireless control, and embedded AI applications.
The onboard module includes 8 MB Quad-SPI Flash and 8 MB PSRAM (Octal SPI), providing ample memory for complex applications such as graphical interfaces, audio processing, and machine-learning workloads. The board exposes GPIOs via pin headers and includes USB-to-UART and native USB support for easy programming and debugging.
