The ESP32-S3-DevKitC-1 is an entry-level development board equipped with either ESP32-S3-MINI-1 or ESP32-S3-MINI-1U, a module named for its small size. This board integrates complete Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Low Energy functions.
Most of the I/O pins on the module are broken out to the pin headers on both sides of this board for easy interfacing. Developers can either connect peripherals with jumper wires or mount ESP32-S3-DevKitC-1 on a breadboard.

ESP32-S3-MINI-1/1U |
ESP32-S3-MINI-1 and ESP32-S3-MINI-1U are two general-purpose Wi-Fi and Bluetooth LE combo modules that have a rich set of peripherals. ESP32-S3-MINI-1 comes with a PCB antenna. ESP32-S3-MINI-1U comes with an external antenna connector. At the core of the modules is ESP32-S3FN8, a chip equipped with an 8 MB flash. Since flash is packaged in the chip, rather than integrated into the module, ESP32-S3-MINI-1/1U has a smaller package size. |

5 V to 3.3 V LDO |
Power regulator that converts a 5 V supply into a 3.3 V output. |
|
Pin Headers |
All available GPIO pins (except for the SPI bus for flash) are broken out to the pin headers on the board for easy interfacing and programming. For details, please see Header Block. |
|
USB-to-UART Port |
A Micro-USB port used for power supply to the board, for flashing applications to the chip, as well as for communication with the chip via the on-board USB-to-UART bridge. |
|
Boot Button |
Download button. Holding down Boot and then pressing Reset initiates Firmware Download mode for downloading firmware through the serial port. |
|
Reset Button |
Press this button to restart ESP32-S3. |
|
ESP32-S3 USB Port |
ESP32-S3 full-speed USB OTG interface, compliant with the USB 1.1 specification. The interface is used for power supply to the board, for flashing applications to the chip, for communication with the chip using USB 1.1 protocols, as well as for JTAG debugging. |
|
USB-to-UART Bridge |
Single USB-to-UART bridge chip provides transfer rates up to 3 Mbps. |
|
RGB LED |
Addressable RGB LED, driven by GPIO48. |
|
3.3 V Power On LED |
Turns on when the USB power is connected to the board. |
