Notes

  • ESP32-S3FN8, 8 MB SiP flash, no external PSRAM
  • SX1262 LoRa transceiver
  • io.gpio_exposed=28 QUOTED: Heltec's Wireless Stick (V3) datasheet Pin Definition table lists Header J2 GPIO {21,44,43,33,34,35,36,37,38,39,40,41,42,45,46} (15 pins) and Header J3 GPIO {19,20,0,47,48,26,7,6,5,4,3,2,1} (13 pins) -- 28 header-exposed pads total (same carrier design as the sibling V3 boards, just split differently across the two headers); the SX1262's SPI bus (GPIO8-11) and RST/BUSY/DIO0 (GPIO12-14), plus the OLED's I2C data lines (SDA_OLED/SCL_OLED, GPIO17/18), are wired directly to the onboard radio/display and never reach either header
  • io.gpio_free=18 DERIVED: subtracting esp32-s3's soc.reserved_pins that are exposed here (strapping {0,3,45,46}: all 4 present; usb_flash_tied {19,20,35,36,37}: all 5 present -- 9 total) and the OLED reset line shared with the header (GPIO21, labeled "OLED RST" in the datasheet) gives 28 - 9 - 1 = 18
  • usb_serial derived from usb.bridge (cp2102)
