Espressif Systems (ESP32) offers a series of powerful, low-power microcontrollers with integrated Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, widely used in IoT and smart home development.
Espressif Systems is the creator of the ESP32 series, a family of low-cost, low-power system on a chip (SoC) microcontrollers with integrated Wi-Fi and dual-mode Bluetooth. Designed for mobile, wearable electronics, and Internet of Things (IoT) applications, the ESP32 defines the standard for robust connectivity and high performance. The chipset utilizes a dual-core or single-core Tensilica Xtensa LX6 microprocessor, offering versatility for hobbyists, engineers, and industrial developers alike.
Since its release, the ESP32 has become a cornerstone of the maker community and professional IoT sector. It supports a wide range of development environments, including the Arduino IDE, Espressif’s own ESP-IDF, MicroPython, and Lua. The category includes documentation not only for the chips themselves but also for the myriad of development boards (such as ESP-WROOM-32, devkits, and third-party modules like the WT32-ETH01) that utilize this powerful architecture.

The ESP32 is a series of low-cost, low-power system on a chip (SoC) microcontrollers with integrated Wi-Fi and dual-mode Bluetooth, developed by Espressif Systems.
ESP32 boards can be programmed using various environments, including the Arduino IDE, Espressif IoT Development Framework (ESP-IDF), and MicroPython.
The ESP32 chip operates at 3.3V. While many development boards include a voltage regulator to accept 5V via USB, directly connecting 5V to the GPIO pins can damage the chip.
Some boards require you to hold the 'BOOT' button while the upload starts, or ensure the correct USB-to-UART drivers (such as CP210x or CH340) are installed on your computer.
