The ESP32-C3-MINI-DK is a clone of ESP32-C3-DevKitM-1, and like the original It’s a compact, feature-rich development board for IoT applications and embedded systems development. It is built around the ESP32-C3-MINI-1 microcontroller, which is a single-core, 32-bit RISC-V processor with integrated 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.0 LE (Low Energy) connectivity.
| Main Components | introduce |
| ESP32C3-MINI-1 Mods | ESP32C3-MINI-1 is a universal Wi-Fi and low-power Bluetooth dual module launched by Espressif, with powerful functions. The module adopts PCB onboard antenna and is equipped with 4MB SPI flash |
| Pin headers | All available GPIO pins have been drawn out to the development board headers |
| 5V to 3V3 LDO | Power converter, input 5V, turn out 3.3V |
| Micro USB Port | USB interface, can be used as the power supply interface of the development board, can burn firmware to the chip, and can communicate with the chip through the USB protocol |
| USB-To-UART Converter Chip | Single-chip USB to UART bridge for increased transfer rates up to 3Mbps |
| RGB LED | Addressable RGB LEDs driven by GPIO8 |
PINs
UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver-Transmitter) pins:
- U0RXD (GPIO20): This pin serves as the UART0 receive (RX) pin, which is used for receiving serial data.
- U0TXD (GPIO21): This pin serves as the UART0 transmit (TX) pin, which is used for transmitting serial data.
I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit) pins: The ESP32-C3 does not have dedicated I2C pins. However, you can implement software-based I2C (bit-banging) using any available GPIO pins. For instance, you could use GPIO12 (SPIHD) and GPIO13 (SPIWP) for the I2C SCL (clock) and SDA (data) pins, respectively.
The BOOT (IO09) pin cannot be pulled down before power-on, and the ESP32 will enter the download mode.
