External Power Supply
If an external power supply is required, connect the positive terminal to 5V and the negative terminal to GND. The board supports approximately 3.3V to 6V input.
Important: Do not connect USB and external power at the same time. Choose only one power source.
WiFi Antenna
Getting Started
Hardware Setup
You will need:
- 1 x ESP32C3 SuperMini
- 1 x computer
- 1 x USB Type-C data cable
Connect the board to your computer using a USB Type-C data cable.
Software Setup
- Download and install the latest Arduino IDE: Arduino IDE Download
- If the official download is slow, you can also use Arduino Community Mirror
- Open Arduino IDE
- Add the ESP32 board package URL in File > Preferences > Additional Boards Manager URLs:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/gh-pages/package_esp32_index.json
- In Tools > Board > Boards Manager, search for esp32 and install the latest package
- In Tools > Board > ESP32 Arduino, select ESP32C3 Dev Module
- In Tools > Port, select the COM/serial port for the connected board
Example: Blinking LED
Copy the following code into Arduino IDE and upload it to the board:
// define led according to pin diagram int led = 8; void setup() { // initialize digital pin led as an output pinMode(led, OUTPUT); } void loop() { digitalWrite(led, HIGH); // turn the LED off delay(1000); // wait for a second digitalWrite(led, LOW); // turn the LED on delay(1000); // wait for a second }
After uploading, the on-board blue LED should blink with a 1-second interval.
Example: WiFi Controlled LED
This example starts a simple web server so you can control the LED from a browser.
/* WiFi Web Server LED Blink A simple web server that lets you blink an LED via the web. This sketch will print the IP address of your WiFi Shield (once connected) to the Serial monitor. From there, you can open that address in a web browser to turn on and off the LED on pin 5. If the IP address of your shield is yourAddress: http://yourAddress/H turns the LED on http://yourAddress/L turns it off This example is written for a network using WPA2 encryption. For insecure WEP or WPA, change the Wifi.begin() call and use Wifi.setMinSecurity() accordingly.

Troubleshooting
Q1. Arduino cannot recognize the COM port
Enter download mode in one of the following ways:
- Hold BOOT while powering on.
- Hold BOOT, press RESET, release RESET, then release BOOT.
Q2. The program does not run after upload
After upload completes successfully, press the RESET button once.
Q3. The board shows as ''JTAG/serial debug unit'' instead of a COM port
Q4. The Arduino serial port cannot print output
Set USB CDC On Boot to Enabled in the Arduino toolbar.
