Key Component |
Description |
|---|---|
On-board module (ESP32-S2-MINI-1 or ESP32-S2-MINI-1U in figures above) |
ESP32-S2-MINI series modules with an on-board PCB antenna or a connector for an external antenna. This series of modules, known for its small size, have a flash and/or a PSRAM integrated in the chip package. For more information, please refer to Ordering Information. |
Pin Headers |
All available GPIO pins (except for the SPI bus for flash) are broken out to the pin headers on the board. Users can program ESP32-S2FH4 chip to enable multiple functions such as SPI, I2S, UART, I2C, touch sensors, PWM etc. For details, please see Header Block. |
3.3 V Power On LED |
Turns on when the USB power is connected to the board. |
USB to UART Bridge |
Single USB-UART bridge chip provides transfer rates up to 3 Mbps. |
Reset Button |
Reset button. |
Micro-USB Port |
USB interface. Power supply for the board as well as the communication interface between a computer and the ESP32-S2FH4 chip. |
Boot Button |
Download button. Holding down Boot and then pressing Reset initiates Firmware Download mode for downloading firmware through the serial port. |
RGB LED |
Addressable RGB LED, driven by GPIO18. |
5 V to 3.3 V LDO |
Power regulator that converts a 5 V supply into a 3.3 V output. |
External Antenna Connector |
On ESP32-S2-MINI-2U and ESP32-S2-MINI-1U module only. For connector dimensions, please refer to Section External Antenna Connector Dimensions in module datasheet. |
Start Application Development
Before powering up your ESP32-S2-DevKitM-1, please make sure that it is in good condition with no obvious signs of damage.
Required Hardware
ESP32-S2-DevKitM-1
USB 2.0 cable (Standard-A to Micro-B)
Computer running Windows, Linux, or macOS
Note
Be sure to use an appropriate USB cable. Some cables are for charging only and do not provide the needed data lines nor work for programming the boards.
Software Setup
Please proceed to Get Started, where Section Installation will quickly help you set up the development environment and then flash an application example into your ESP32-S2-DevKitM-1.

Power Supply Options
There are three mutually exclusive ways to provide power to the board:
Micro-USB Port, default power supply
5V and GND pin headers
3V3 and GND pin headers
It is recommended to use the first option: micro USB Port.
Header Block
The two tables below provide the Name and Function of the pin headers on both sides of the board (J1 and J3). The pin header names are shown in ESP32-S2-DevKitM-1 - front. The numbering is the same as in the ESP32-S2-DevKitM-1 Schematics (PDF).
