The ESP32-S3-Pico is a low-cost, high-performance microcontroller development board with a compact size and rich peripheral interfaces.
Adopts ESP32-S3R2 as the main chip, which is an MCU chip with integrated 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5 (LE).
The interface chips are CH343 and CH334, so you can experience the fun of USB and UART development with a single USB-C port, and no more trouble switching interfaces.
The DC-DC chip adopts MP28164, a high-efficiency buck-boost chip, which adopts PWM fixed-frequency current control mode to optimize circuit stability and response speed.
Features:
- Adopts ESP32-S3R2 as the main chip.
- Comes with an Xtensa 32-bit LX7 dual-core processor, capable of running at 240 MHz.
- Integrated 512KB SRAM, 384KB ROM, 2MB PSRAM, and 16MB Flash memory.
- Type-C connector, easier to use.
- Onboard CH343 and CH334 chips can meet the needs of USB and UART development via a Type-C interface.
- Onboard DC-DC chip MP28164, high-efficiency DC-DC buck-boost chip with load current up to 2A.
- Supports multiple low-power operating states, the adjustable balance between communication distance, data rate, and power consumption to meet the power requirements of various application scenarios.
- 27 × multi-function GPIO headers.
- Castellated module allows soldering directly to carrier boards.
- Rich peripheral interfaces, including full-speed USB OTG, SPI, I2C, UART, ADC, PWM, and DVP (8-bit ~ 16-bit camera interface), LCD interfaces (8-bit ~ 16-bit parallel RGB, I8080, MOTO6800), etc. to achieve various functions flexibly.

An Overpowered board. I liked it so much. It is just amazing. I think it is the most powerful board. Because i am having almost all boards from Espressif. And the upload speed is so fast. When i pressed the upload button, it is just so fast…. Worth it… It has WiFi and Bluetooth as well…

Very good development board, recommended for beginners. A powerhouse board equiped with esp32 s3 microprocessor in pico footprint. Price is bit high, but it’s because of manufacturer waveshare set the price high.
Guide provided by waveshare is very good to start with, but indepth technical details need a little polish. Programming supported through Arduino framework, Micropython, ESP-IDF. As the moment of the review circuitpython isn’t available but support expected to be available before end of 2023.
