ESP-WROOM-32 ESP32 ESP-32S Development Board 2.4GHz Dual-Mode WiFi + Bluetooth Dual Cores Microcontroller Processor Integrated with Antenna RF AMP Filter AP STA Compatible with Arduino IDE (1 PCS)

Vwry very good one,good price and good quality,wifi worked just fine i set it up with mucropython so easy but the pins was a little weak so be careful removing it from breadboard

Really useful microcontroller

I had a few old Chinese addresses able rgb strips that just had a very basically controller and crappy power supplies. Install WLED on this board and now all the strips are smart light strips and they perform better than some of the other branded RGB led strips.

Ok

Am able to connect sensors and host a server on it!

Great for my daughters uni project

Ok

If you have ubuntu 22.04 and you can't upload anything to your ESP32 equiped with CP2102, here is how to fix it: First run `sudo dmesg -w` and see what happens when you plug your board You should see something like this: ``` [951023.608473] usb 1-6.1: new full-speed USB device number 62 using xhci_hcd [951023.739847] usb 1-6.1: New USB device found, idVendor=10c4, idProduct=ea60, bcdDevice= 1.00 [951023.739852] usb 1-6.1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 [951023.739854] usb 1-6.1: Product: CP2102 USB to UART Bridge Controller [951023.739856] usb 1-6.1: Manufacturer: Silicon Labs [951023.739858] usb 1-6.1: SerialNumber: 0001 [951023.753463] cp210x 1-6.1:1.0: cp210x converter detected [951023.754508] usb 1-6.1: cp210x converter now attached to ttyUSB0 ``` If some time after connecting you see this...: ``` [951026.615438] usb 1-6.1: usbfs: interface 0 claimed by cp210x while 'brltty' sets config #1 [951026.616472] cp210x ttyUSB0: cp210x converter now disconnected from ttyUSB0 [951026.616689] cp210x 1-6.1:1.0: device disconnected ``` ... it means that your board automatically disconnects. In this case we have an issue with a preinstalled software called "britty", to fix this issue simply uninstall it: ``` sudo apt remove brltty ``` Then reconnect your board and upload your code, it should work. You may have other software conflicting with your board, in which case start with `sudo dmesg -w` to see what's going on... I update my rating because the board actualy does work and is indeed a DEVKITV1 instead of incompatible NodeMCU shipped by some other amazon sellers...

I was investigating how to enable bluetooth with my Homeassistant installation and found documentation on creating a bluetooth proxy. This item was linked directly on the ESPHome website, which also includes a web-based firmware flasher. Encouraged by how easy this could be, I made the purchase. The competing option was a M5Stack Atom Lite, which looked quite promising as it comes within a case already. After weighing the shipping times, I went with this product. The two are essentially the same price if you factor in a separate case for the ESP-WROOM-32. Sifting through the reviews here, I found that manually installing drivers for the board would be required. If you just plug in the device, Win10 shows a popup but it does not actually install the needed drivers. You will need the easy to google CP210x USB to UART Bridge VCP Drivers, CP210x_Universal_Windows_Driver.zip available from Silicon Labs. After that, the web app flasher was easy to run. It wrote the FW needed and then lets you specify your wifi network. I had read many reviews that were disappointed with horrible wifi range. I am 1 floor below my router and it shows -71dB signal. Not great, but still functional. Maybe that's not bad considering there's no antennae. Other wifi devices in the same room were about -65-70dB. Immediately after connecting to wifi, Homeassistant recognized the device and it was easy to add it as an ESPHome device. It easily found the 3 bluetooth thermometers I wanted to connect (Thermopro TP357). I haven't had any notable dropouts for this first week but will continue to monitor. As the last step I am purchasing a case for the board. There are some generic plastic boxes available on Amazon, but I decided to go with Etsy for a custom 3D printed one.

This is truly my favorite microcontroller packaged into a great development board at an affordable cost. ESP32 works with Bluetooth Classic and BLE for short-distance data streaming. Two of these boards can be connected to each other and share data up to 80 meters away. The Wi-Fi connection is one of the most powerful features. You can connect the board to the internet and communicate with it via a web server. This allows you to make digital applications with physical and analog capabilities. The Wi-Fi communication can also be utilized to make a smart home. You can connect all the ESP32s together and control many different household operations via a Wi-Fi router. The cost is the third big pro. These boards are very affordable for what they can accomplish. This is a must for every circuit lab. I highly recommend this product to anyone who likes building things with microcontrollers.

I picked these up to make a cheap COB LED strip smart. It only came with an RF remote which is not sustainable. They arrived without documentation, but that isn't a problem for me. My will is stronger than that. They arrived sealed in antistatic bags and looked new. The onboard USB port is a micro USB. I used it to flash WLED and setup wifi. I powered the board and the LED strip from the same power source because they used the same voltage. Then, I used a GPIO pin to communicate with the light strip. It was easier than I thought it was going to be. A heat sink is not recommend because the ESP chip does not produce much heat. They do not include a display. The quality is fine for my purposes. If you are just getting started with something like this, read the WLED site or ESPHome. Step 1. The website will flash the firmware for you.

I bought this because I’m an idiot who apparently enjoys wasting his money, time and effort. I have a bunch of Arduinos but forgot everything I knew about them. I got tired of trying to relearn Arduinos and stumbled upon ESP32 and in spite of somewhat troubling reviews, I gambled! My first evening of playing with the ESP didn’t go well and I was frustrated with no way to k ow if it was SOE thing I was doing or had I received a dud board. Today, I decided to give it a go with an antique laptop… Sure enough, I can say the board works with no weirdness like having to play the hokie pokie with the Boot button-something it seems Might be common. Now that I’ve confirmed comms betwx the laptop and board, it’s time to write some code and make something that will be of benefit, a water level controller! Next up water temp control! Edit:I’m buying more from this vendor! These boards work and if I find something that works, I go back to that trough! Yes, my wife enjoyed laughing at me as I showed numbers changing on my phone. It was much more impressive than making an LED illuminate/extonguish!

This listing says that it is a ESP-WROOM and shows that on the chip case, however, the actual item does not show that and there is no way to tell if it actually is the board that they claim to be selling.
