Adafruit ESP32-S3 Feather 8MB with w.FL Antenna

The Adafruit ESP32-S3 Feather 8MB with w.FL Antenna is a powerful and versatile development board designed for IoT (Internet of Things) projects and wireless connectivity applications. Powered by the ESP32-S3 microcontroller, it offers enhanced features and capabilities compared to its predecessors. With 8MB of flash memory onboard, it provides ample storage space for firmware and data storage.

The board features a compact and lightweight Feather form factor, making it easy to integrate into existing projects and prototype designs. It includes a w.FL antenna connector, allowing for the connection of external antennas for improved wireless performance and range.

Equipped with dual-core Xtensa LX7 processors running at up to 240MHz, the ESP32-S3 Feather delivers robust processing power and performance for various applications. It supports a wide range of wireless protocols, including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy), enabling seamless connectivity with other devices and networks.

The ESP32-S3 Feather board features a rich set of peripheral interfaces, including GPIO pins, UART, SPI, I2C, and analog inputs, providing flexibility for connecting sensors, actuators, and other peripherals. It also includes built-in support for battery operation, making it suitable for portable and low-power applications.

With its open-source hardware design and comprehensive documentation, the Adafruit ESP32-S3 Feather 8MB with w.FL Antenna offers a user-friendly development platform for makers, engineers, and hobbyists to create a wide range of IoT projects, smart devices, and wireless solutions. Whether you’re building a home automation system, a wearable device, or a remote monitoring application, this development board provides the features and flexibility needed to bring your ideas to life.

Features:

1. ESP32-S3 Dual Core 240MHz Tensilica processor – the next generation of ESP32-Sx, with native USB so it can act like a keyboard/mouse, MIDI device, disk drive, etc!
2. The mini-module has FCC/CE certification and comes with 8 MByte of Flash, no PSRAM
3. Power options – USB type C or Lipoly battery
4. Built-in battery charging when powered over USB-C
5. MAX17048 chip actively monitors your battery for voltage and state of charge/percentage reporting over I2C
6. Reset and DFU (BOOT0) buttons to get into the ROM bootloader (which is a USB serial port so you don’t need a separate cable!)
7. Serial debug output pin (optional, for checking the hardware serial debug console)
8. STEMMA QT connector for I2C devices, with switchable power, so you can go into low power mode.
9. On/Charge/User LEDs + status NeoPixel with pin-controlled power for low power usage
10. Low Power friendly! In deep sleep mode, we can get down to ~100uA of current draw from the Lipoly connection. Quiescent current is from the power regulator, ESP32-S3 chip, and Lipoly monitor. Turn off the NeoPixel and external I2C power for the lowest quiescent current draw.
11. Works with ESP-IDF, Arduino, or CircuitPython (not recommended since there is no PSRAM, but for some simple IoT projects without large buffers it will work)
