Overview

Compact Arduino development board based on the Espressif ESP32-S3 MCU offering both WiFi and Bluetooth Low Energy connectivity. It uses USB-C for power and programming and is designed to work with the Arduino ecosystem including Arduino Cloud. The board targets rapid prototyping and connected IoT applications where built-in wireless and easy cloud integration are desired.

Why Choose This Part

Combines integrated WiFi and BLE radio with the familiar Arduino environment to shorten development time and reduce component count. USB-C provides modern, convenient power and data connectivity, while Arduino Cloud compatibility simplifies provisioning and OTA firmware management. Its Nano-sized form factor makes it convenient for breadboard prototyping and space-constrained projects.

Applications

IoT sensor nodes
Connect WiFi-enabled sensors to cloud services for telemetry, alerts, and remote configuration.
BLE peripherals and gateways
Implement Bluetooth Low Energy accessories, beacons, or bridge BLE devices to IP networks.
Arduino Cloud prototypes
Rapidly prototype cloud-connected projects and OTA updates using the Arduino Cloud workflow.
USB-powered development and debugging
Use USB-C for reliable power, serial console access, and firmware flashing during development.
Classroom and prototyping
Teach microcontroller programming and build proofs-of-concept using the Arduino IDE and libraries.

Getting Started

Install the Arduino IDE or use the Arduino Cloud web editor and add the board package for ESP32 boards (follow Arduino's board manager instructions). You can also use PlatformIO or Espressif's ESP-IDF for advanced development. Use a data-capable USB-C cable, select the correct board in the IDE, and install any required USB/serial drivers if your host OS needs them.
