I have a 3S LiIon battery pack, so ~12V, connected to an MPM3610 buck converter to produce 5V for an ESP32S3 DevKit C-1. I need to also have a USB cable (with 5V) attached to the ESP32S3 for programming. Is this circuit adequate for having the 5V from the battery connected to the ESP32S3 AND the USB ...

Thanks!

I am a bit confused by the documentation for the ESP32S3 N8R16 devkit boards. These boards have 2 USB-C connectors on the side away from the processor and the reset/boot buttons up near the processor. I think they are devkitc-1.1 boards. I am attaching them to a 4 layer PCB, so it would be very hard ...

I am interested in the group's recommendations and experiences with PCB layout and integrated antennas.

I am using an ESP32S3 DevKitC-1 in a socket for prototyping and then will convert to a smaller version later. I have a 4 layer PCB - L1=signals, L2=ground, L3=power, and L4=signals.

I can ...

The issue turned out to be misreading the ezButton documentation. I used the pin # in the button definition, but ezButton wants the GPIO number. Progress!

I am following this tutorial - https://randomnerdtutorials.com/esp-now-two-way-communication-esp32/ . I have 2 ESP32 S3 DevKitC boards and some associated hardware to read switches using ezButton and turn on some LEDs. Board A, the Launcher, starts up just find but can't communicate with Board B ...

I ordered from Amazon the ESP32 S3 Development Board ESP32-S3-DevKitC-1-N8R8 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D93FLZLH?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title , and it looks like this (note the placement of the reset and en buttons):

I was able to fix the weird ADC readings with
adc.atten(ADC.ATTN_11DB) # Set to 3.3V range
adc.width(ADC.WIDTH_12BIT) # 12-bit resolution (0-4095, default)
and I get this output now:
DAC voltage: 0.25 ADC voltage: 0.18
DAC voltage: 0.5 ADC voltage: 0.41
DAC voltage: 0.75 ADC voltage: 0.63
DAC ...

What ESP32 should I look at for the following specs:
ESP-NOW support
ADC
DAC
GPIO
WiFi
Bluetooth optional

What dev kit should I consider?

Do I have to use C/C++ for an ESP-NOW project, or will micropython work? There are no real timing constraints for the project. All the interactions occur in what I call "human time".
