M5STACK Stamp-S3 Mini High Performance Controller Module

Description
Stamp-S3 Mini is a compact embedded main control module powered by the ESP32-S3-PICO-1-N8R8 as the core processor, featuring a Xtensa 32-bit LX7 dual-core processor with 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi support. It is equipped with 8 MB Flash and 8 MB PSRAM onboard. The module offers flexible power supply options, integrating a USB Type-C interface, supporting DC 5 V input. The clock source is the internal 40 MHz crystal oscillator integrated in the ESP32-S3-PICO-1 module, so no external crystal is required. Its hybrid dual-row pin layout provides multiple GPIO resources within a compact footprint, with outer 2.54 mm-pitch through-hole pads compatible with standard pin headers and inner 1.27 mm-pitch castellated half-hole pads supporting reflow soldering. It is suitable for IoT end-product development in smart homes, industrial sensing, and other embedded applications.

FCC Warning
FCC Caution
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
- This device may not cause harmful interference, and
- This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
IMPORTANT NOTE
Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
FCC Radiation Exposure Statement
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance 20cm between the radiator & your body.
