Form Factor and Connectivity
- Breadboard friendly
- 70mm x 24mm
- 11 x GPIO pins broken out to 2.54mm pitch header, with access to both ESP32 ADC channels, JTAG and capacitive touch pins
- USB 2.0 over USB Type C connector
Power
- 3.7/4.2v Lithium Polymer Rechargeable Battery, USB or external 5V DC power source
- ESP32 and Audio Codec can be placed into low power modes under software control
- Battery voltage level detection
- ESD protection on USB data bus
Maximum voltage before clipping on Audio Input, Aux L & Aux R = 3.3V peak-to-peak, AC. Audio input paths are AC coupled.
Maximum voltage on GPIO pins = 3.3V DC. GPIO pins are not overvoltage protected, for voltages higher than 3.3V use an input protection circuit such as a diode clamp or a level shifter.
Battery voltage monitoring is available by soldering the BT_LVL solder jumper on the PCB top side, which routes the battery voltage to GPIO 14.
*Height measurement is with pin headers soldered.
