Built onAdafruit Sparkle Motion BoardESP32 SoC

ESP32-based LED-strip controller with USB-C PD (5/12/20V) or 2.1mm DC-jack power, three level-shifted terminal-block outputs, a built-in I2S mic, IR receiver, NeoPixel, and STEMMA QT.

Notes

  • 4 MB flash; PSRAM not stated (omitted). Vendor: "ESP32 mini module with built in antenna port" with "4 MB of flash, dual core 240MHz Tensilica, WiFi, Bluetooth LE and Bluetooth Classic support"
  • USB Type C connector. Vendor states "USB-serial converter with auto-reset" but does not name the bridge chip model, so usb_serial is set to usb-uart-bridge-unspecified
  • Power (power object omitted -- no onboard LiPo battery connector/charger stated): "Power option 1 via USB Type C PD with a slide switch that selects between 5, 12 and 20V"; "Power option 2 via 2.1mm DC jack, center positive"; "Low forward-voltage diodes so its good for up to 5A from either"; "5 Amp fuse to protect from over-current drive"
  • extras from vendor bullets: "Three output signal terminal block sets with power and ground for each" (screw-terminals); "6 GPIO breakout pads with a fourth level-shifted output" (level-shifter); "Built-in IR receiver for easy remote control integration" (ir-receiver); "Built-in I2S microphone for audio-reactive projects" (mic); "Small built-in NeoPixel on pin 2" (rgb-led); "Stemma QT I2C port to connect external sensors/OLED/etc" (stemma-qt). Also present but not modeled as extras: "Red built-in LED on pin 4" and "User button on GPIO 0 plus Reset button"
  • io omitted: vendor lists "6 GPIO breakout pads with a fourth level-shifted output, and 3 more GPIO plus power and ground" but prints no single explicit usable-GPIO count
  • Dimensions vendor-stated: "1.3"x1.75" / 33mm x 45mm"
  • download_mode auto: vendor states "USB-serial converter with auto-reset"
  • form_factor omitted: an LED-strip controller does not match any established form_factor value in the catalog

Reads the connected chip over USB and checks it against what esp-atlas cites for Adafruit Sparkle Motion — over Web Serial, no backend, nothing leaves your browser.

In-browser verify needs Web Serial: Chrome or Edge on a desktop. Safari, Firefox and phones cannot do it.
