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 object omitted: vendor states "Power via USB Type A for up to 5V 2A input" -- the board plugs directly into a host USB Type A port, and "usb-a" is not an allowed usb.connector enum value (usb-c/micro-usb/mini-usb/none), so the field is omitted rather than set to an invalid value. Vendor also states "USB-serial converter with auto-reset" but does not name the bridge chip, 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 A for up to 5V 2A input" (portable via USB battery packs); "2 Amp resetting fuse to protect from over-current drive"
  • extras from vendor bullets: "Screw terminal blocks for no-solder connectivity" (screw-terminals); "Two output signals plus 5V power and ground" with "both signal outputs are level shifted to 5V" (level-shifter); "Built-in Infrared receiver on GPIO 10" (ir-receiver); "Built-in I2S microphone for audio-reactive projects" (mic); "Small built-in NeoPixel on pin 18" (rgb-led). STEMMA QT is NOT stated for this board (omitted). Also present but not modeled: "Red built-in LED on pin 4" and "User button on GPIO 0"
  • io omitted: no explicit usable-GPIO count is printed on the page
  • Dimensions omitted: not stated in mm on the page
  • download_mode auto: vendor states "USB-serial converter with auto-reset"
  • form_factor omitted: an LED-controller stick does not match any established form_factor value in the catalog
