S3 BLE indicator adapter

Back to supported adapters

Use an ESP32-S3 DevKitC-1 N16R8 and SN65HVD230 3.3 V module. This adapter connects to comma BLE and does not require a Jetson USB CAN adapter for its transport.

Four S3-to-transceiver solder connections

S3 SN65HVD230 Function
3V3 3.3V Supply
G GND Common ground
GPIO4 TX Transmit
GPIO5 RX Receive

These direct connections apply to the 3.3 V SN65HVD230, not a 5 V TJA1050. The linked build guide covers USB firmware installation, vehicle H/L, termination and status LEDs.

The BLE name is Carrot-B1. A single new matching name/service can enroll automatically while parked; subsequent control authenticates the enrolled board's key. The name alone is not authorization to control an arbitrary board.

Keep the S3 enrollment while using PEAK/CANable too. The first connected adapter with matching CAN data owns output; the others wait. A BLE connection badge does not, by itself, mean S3 currently owns physical indicator output.
