What You Need ESP32-DevKitC V4 board USB 2.0 cable (Standard-A to Micro-B) Computer running Windows, Linux, or macOS You can skip the introduction sections and go directly to Section Start Application Development. Overview ESP32-DevKitC V4 is a small-sized ESP32-based development board produced by Espressif. Most of the I/O pins are broken out to the pin headers on both sides for easy interfacing. Developers can either connect peripherals with jumper wires or mount ESP32-DevKitC V4 on a breadboard. To cover a wide range of user requirements, the following versions of ESP32-DevKitC V4 are available: different ESP32 modules ESP32-WROOM-32E ESP32-WROOM-32UE ESP32-WROVER-E ESP32-WROVER-IE ESP32-WROOM-32D ESP32-WROOM-32U ESP32-WROOM-DA (End of Life) ESP32-SOLO-1 ESP32-WROOM-32 male or female pin headers For details please refer to ESP Product Selector. Functional Description The following figure and the table below describe the key components, interfaces and controls of the ESP32-DevKitC V4 board. ESP32-DevKitC V4 with ESP32-WROOM-32E module soldered The key components of the board are described, starting from the 5V Power On LED, in a clockwise direction. No. Key Component Description 1 5V Power On LED Turns on when the USB or an external 5V power supply is connected to the board. For details see the schematics in Related Documents. 2 I/O Connector Most of the pins on the ESP module are broken out to the pin headers on the board. You can program ESP32 to enable multiple functions such as PWM, ADC, DAC, I2C, I2S, SPI, etc. 3 ESP32-WROOM-32E A module with ESP32 at its core. For more information, see ESP32-WROOM-32E Datasheet. 4 USB-to-UART Bridge Single USB-to-UART bridge chip, providing transfer rates up to 3 Mbps. 5 Boot Button Download button. Holding down Boot and then pressing EN initiates Firmware Download mode for downloading firmware through the serial port. 6 USB-to-UART Port A Micro-USB port used for power supply to the board, as well as for communication between a computer and the ESP32-WROOM-32E module. 7 EN Button Reset button. Power Supply Options There are three mutually exclusive ways to provide power to the board: Micro USB port, default power supply 5V and GND header pins 3V3 and GND header pins Warning The power supply must be provided using one and only one of the options above, otherwise the board and/or the power supply source can be damaged.

[2] (1,2,3,4,5,6) The pins D0, D1, D2, D3, CMD and CLK are used internally for communication between ESP32 and SPI flash memory. They are grouped on both sides near the USB connector. Avoid using these pins, as it may disrupt access to the SPI flash memory/SPI RAM. [3] (1,2) The pins GPIO16 and GPIO17 are available for use only on the boards with the modules ESP32-WROOM and ESP32-SOLO-1. The boards with ESP32-WROVER modules have the pins reserved for internal use. Pin Layout ESP32-DevKitC Pin Layout (click to enlarge) Note on C15 The component C15 may cause the following issues on earlier ESP32-DevKitC V4 boards: The board may boot into Download mode If you output clock on GPIO0, C15 may impact the signal In case these issues occur, please remove the component. The figure below shows the location of C15 highlighted in yellow. Location of C15 (yellow) on ESP32-DevKitC V4 board Start Application Development Before powering up your ESP32-DevKitC V4, please make sure that the board is in good condition with no obvious signs of damage. After that, proceed to ESP-IDF Get Started, which will quickly help you set up the development environment then flash an application example onto your board.

Terms of Use for Development Board The development board is intended for R&D evaluation, engineering design verification, and early-stage product development. It is provided as a convenient platform for development and testing. The development board is not intended as a mass-production component or as a finished product for end consumers; therefore, its product management approach differs from that of mass-produced chips and modules. The development board has not obtained specific national or industry certifications and is not covered under regulatory frameworks such as CE, UL, or CCC. As a result, it may not meet the requirements of such regulations. Users should ensure that their use of the development board complies with the applicable laws and regulations of the country or region in which it is used. In addition, the development board has not been designed, validated, or managed for reliability testing, production, or commercial deployment purposes. Users assume full responsibility for the correct and safe use of the product. For applications beyond the intended use of the development board, including but not limited to pre-production testing, system integration, final product delivery, or other commercial uses, the user should, before mass production and in light of its own product requirements, fully evaluate the technical suitability, reliability requirements, regulatory compliance, and system integration risks associated with such applications. The user should also complete all necessary verification, testing, and certification activities relating to system-level design, product certification, reliability validation, regulatory compliance assessment, and commercial deployment. Espressif assumes no liability arising from applications beyond the intended use of the development board. Regardless of whether the parties have entered into a supplier framework agreement, quality agreement, or any other similar agreement, the development board is not subject to any requirements or commitments therein relating to product certification, reliability management, return material analysis (RMA), product/process change notification (PCN), end-of-life (EOL) management, long-term s
