All the IO signals and system power on ESP32-PICO-D4 are led out through two standard 20 pin x 0.1" pitch headers on both sides for easy interfacing. The development board integrates a USB-UART Bridge circuit, allowing the developers to connect the development board to a PC's USB port for downloads and debugging. + + +Functional Description +---------------------- + +The following list and figure below describe key components, interfaces and controls of ESP32-PICO-KIT board. + +ESP32-PICO-D4 + Standard ESP32-PICO-D4 module soldered to the ESP32-PICO-KIT board. The complete system of the ESP32 chip has been integrated into the SIP module, requiring only external antenna with LC matching network, decoupling capacitors and pull-up resistors for EN signals to function properly. +USB-UART Bridge + A single chip USB-UART bridge provides up to 1 Mbps transfers rates. +I/O + All the pins on ESP32-PICO-D4 are broken out to the pin headers on the board. Users can program ESP32 to enable multiple functions such as PWM, ADC, DAC, I2C, I2S, SPI, etc. +Micro USB Port + USB interface.
