Constructing initiatives with ESP boards you might be usually working within the 5V USB realm. Past 5V you may be stepping all the way down to 3V3 however past that, you get into the realms of designing exterior energy provides. USB-PD is now commonplace with voltages as much as 20V obtainable. The ESPPD makes simple work of incorporating these voltages into your ESP32-powered mission {hardware}.
The board itself is centred across the ESP32-S3 WROOM-1 module from Espressif, a robust workhorse with WiFi and Bluetooth on board. Many of the ESP32-S3 pins are damaged out neatly into two rows of headers which can match into an ordinary breadboard with a column of pins to spare both facet. You’ll discover there are two USB C connectors on board, one for energy and one for knowledge. Talking of energy you’ll be able to negotiate energy and voltages out of your PD-capable provide both by setting {hardware} jumpers in place or dynamically in code, with libraries and examples provided. This implies your mission can select from the standard PD vary of voltages, 5V, 9V, 12V, 15V, or 20V.
You should utilize the opposite USB-C socket to straight program the system and the system can be utilized in both consumer or host configurations. Equipped with the board totally assembled or with header pins you’ll be able to choose to suit your self it’s fairly simple to rise up and operating with this open-source board. It’s launched beneath the MIT licence and you may try the design information, code and documentation over on the mission’s repository.
