Notes

  • ESP32-S3FN8; 8 MB flash, no PSRAM
  • 56-key QWERTY keyboard (4x14), SPM1423 MEMS mic, NS4168 8ohm/1W I2S speaker, IR emitter, microSD slot, 120mAh internal battery plus 1400mAh base battery; physical USB connector type not specified on the official page (omitted) — page lists "USB OTG, USB Serial/JTAG" (native ESP32-S3 USB, no separate bridge chip)
  • io.gpio_exposed=2 COUNTED: the only user-accessible header is "1 x HY2.0-4P port for connecting and expanding I2C sensors", pinout "Yellow: G2, White: G1" = {1,2}. Every other pin on the page (mic G46/G43, microSD G12/G14/G40/G39, display G38/G33/G34/G35/G36/G37, keyboard matrix G3-G15, speaker/IR G41/G42/G43/G44, boot button G0) is hard-wired to an onboard peripheral, not header-exposed. io.gpio_free=2 DERIVED: subtracting esp32-s3's soc.reserved_pins (strapping {0,3,45,46}, usb_flash_tied {19,20,35,36,37}) -- neither G1 nor G2 falls in either set -- gives 2 - 0 = 2. No max Grove/rail output current stated on this page, so power_out is omitted.
