Notes

  • 4 MB flash; PSRAM not stated (omitted). Vendor: "ESP32 mini module with built in antenna port ... Comes 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 via USB Type C for up to 5V 4A input - you can use off-the-shelf USB battery packs for portable operation"; "4 Amp resetting fuse to protect from over-current drive"
  • extras from vendor bullets: "Two output signals plus 5V power and ground - both signal output are level shifted to 5V" (level-shifter); "Built-in I2S microphone type SPH0654" (mic); "Small built-in NeoPixel on pin 18" (rgb-led); "Stemma QT I2C port to connect external sensors/OLED/etc" (stemma-qt). NOT included: screw-terminals -- "To keep the design slim we don't include terminal blocks pre-soldered"; ir-receiver -- only an "external IR receiver" via the JST input port is mentioned, no built-in one. Also present but not modeled: "Red built-in LED on pin 12" and "User button on GPIO 0 plus Reset button"
  • io omitted: vendor lists "Two output signals plus 5V power and ground" and "Extra 2x3 0.1" breakout pads with 4 more GPIO plus 3V power and ground" but prints no single explicit usable-GPIO count
  • Dimensions vendor-stated: "1.2"x0.8" / 30mm x 20mm size with mounting holes"
  • 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
