• Bluetooth LE: Supports Bluetooth 5 and Bluetooth mesh, with speeds up to 2 Mbps.

These functionalities are controlled via firmware programming.

6. Maintenance & Storage

6.1 Cleaning

• Turn off the device before cleaning.
• Use a soft, lint-free cloth.
• Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

6.2 Storage

• Store in a dry place at room temperature (15°C - 35°C).
• Keep away from direct sunlight and moisture.

6.3 Long-term Storage

If not used for a long time, ensure the module is stored in an anti-static bag to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your ESP32-C3F module, consider the following common troubleshooting steps:

• No Power: Verify all power connections (VCC, GND) and ensure the power supply provides the correct voltage (3.3V) and sufficient current.
• Programming Failure: Check your wiring to the programmer/development board (TX/RX, GPIO0 for boot mode, EN/RST). Ensure your development environment is correctly configured and drivers are installed.
• Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Connectivity Issues: Confirm your antenna connection (if external) and check your firmware logic for correct initialization and connection parameters. Ensure there are no conflicting GPIO uses.
• Module Overheating: Disconnect power immediately. Check for short circuits or incorrect voltage application.

For more detailed troubleshooting, consult the official Espressif documentation for the ESP32-C3 series.
