Overview
ESP32-PICO-KIT-1 is an ESP32-based development board produced by Espressif.
The core of this board is ESP32-PICO-V3 - a System-in-Package (SiP) module with complete Wi-Fi and Bluetooth® functionalities. Compared to other ESP32 modules, ESP32-PICO-V3 integrates the following peripheral components in one single package, which otherwise would need to be installed separately:
- 40 MHz crystal oscillator
- 4 MB flash
- Filter capacitors
- RF matching network
This setup reduces the costs of additional external components as well as the cost of assembly and testing and also increases the overall usability of the product.
The development board features a USB-to-UART Bridge circuit which allows developers to connect the board to a computer’s USB port for flashing and debugging.
All the IO signals and system power on ESP32-PICO-V3 are led out to two rows of 18 x 0.1” header pads on both sides of the development board for easy access. For compatibility with Dupont wires, all header pads are populated with two rows of male pin headers.
