Compact and powerful
I used this as the brain for a small rover. The dual-core processor handles motor control and UI updates simultaneously without lag. Highly recommended for robotics projects.

Excellent learning tool
As a computer science student, this board helped me understand embedded systems better. The built-in RGB LED is fun to play with, and the display library examples worked out of the box.

Good value for money
For the price, you get a lot of features. The screen quality is surprisingly good. I deducted one star because the USB cable included felt a bit flimsy, but the board itself is solid.

Great hardware, minor documentation gaps
The ESP32-S3 chip performs excellently, and the PSRAM is a huge plus for graphics handling. The only downside is that the pinout diagram in the manual could be clearer for the capacitive touch pins.
Q: Does this board support MicroPython?
A: Yes, the ESP32-S3 chip fully supports MicroPython. You can flash the firmware using tools like esptool.py or Thonny IDE.
Q: Is the touchscreen resistive or capacitive?
A: The display features a capacitive touchscreen, which offers better sensitivity and multi-touch support compared to resistive screens.
Q: Can I power this board with a LiPo battery?
A: Yes, you can connect a LiPo battery to the BAT pin (if equipped with a charger circuit) or via the VIN pin, provided the voltage is within the 3.3V-5V range. Check the specific schematic for charging capabilities.
Q: How do I enter download mode manually?
A: To enter download mode, hold down the 'BOOT' button while pressing and releasing the 'RESET' button. Then release the 'BOOT' button after the device enumerates as a USB device.
Q: What is the operating voltage for the GPIO pins?
A: The GPIO pins operate at 3.3V logic level. Please ensure not to connect 5V sensors directly to the GPIO pins without a level shifter to avoid damage.
