Solid performance for AGVs
Using this to drive a small automated guided vehicle in our warehouse prototype. The Wi-Fi range is decent, and the motor drivers handle the start-up current spikes well. Would buy again.

Great value, minor documentation gaps
The hardware quality is excellent and the motor control is smooth. I deducted one star because the pinout diagram in the wiki could be clearer for the I2C expansion ports. Otherwise, a solid development board.

Best ESP32 robot board I've used
The layout is logical, and the screw terminals are secure. I appreciate that it supports both 5V and 12V inputs without needing extra regulators. The community support for Waveshare products is also a plus.

Ideal for educational workshops
We bought ten of these for our university lab. Students love the USB-C programming and the ability to control robots via smartphone over Bluetooth. It's robust enough to handle beginner mistakes too.

Compact and powerful
Impressed by how much functionality is packed into this small form factor. The heat dissipation is good even under load. Setting up the Arduino IDE environment was straightforward.

Perfect for my quadruped robot project
This board saved me so much time wiring up individual motor drivers. The ESP32 integration is seamless, and the ESP-NOW feature allows for low-latency communication between multiple units. Highly recommended for robotics enthusiasts.
Q: Can this board control stepper motors or only DC motors?
A: This board is primarily designed for brushed DC motors using its H-bridge drivers. While you can control stepper motors by bit-banging the outputs, it is not optimized for high-speed micro-stepping like dedicated stepper drivers.
Q: Can I daisy-chain multiple boards using ESP-NOW?
A: Absolutely. ESP-NOW is ideal for this scenario, allowing multiple boards to communicate with each other in a mesh-like or peer-to-peer configuration without needing a central Wi-Fi router.
Q: Does it support battery power directly?
A: Yes, you can connect a Li-ion battery pack (within the 5V-12V input range) to the VIN terminal. However, we recommend using a board with a built-in charging circuit if you need to charge the battery while connected.
Q: Is the ESP32 chip pre-flashed with any firmware?
A: No, the board comes with the standard ESP32 bootloader but no specific application firmware. You will need to upload your own code via the Arduino IDE, ESP-IDF, or MicroPython.
Q: What is the maximum voltage for the logic pins?
A: The ESP32 operates at 3.3V logic levels. Please ensure any connected sensors or modules are 3.3V compatible or use level shifters to avoid damaging the board.
