ESP32-C3-DevKit-RUST-1 is a RISC V development board packed with the ESP32-C3-MINI-1, a potent, general Wi-Fi Bluetooth LE microcontroller unit with a wealth of peripherals. Its small size makes it a perfect selection for multiple Internet of Things (IoT) related functions, including embedded systems, smart homes, and wearables. This version has the ESP32-C3-MINI-1 with 4 MB SPI Flash sans PSRAM.
Please note: The C3 is akin to the ESP32 with RISC V as its core instead of Tensilica and Bluetooth LE (not classic). Nevertheless, this dev board has sparse support; as of now, only Arduino and ESP IDF are available, with no CircuitPython support. Buy if you are developing using the C3 and be aware that its core differs from the ESP32s commonly used.
Most of the I/O pins on the module are broken out to the pin headers on both sides of this board for easy interfacing. Developers can either connect peripherals with jumper wires or mount ESP32-C3-DevKit-RUST-1 on a breadboard. Please note: is not included.
At the core of the module is ESP32-C3, which has a 32-bit RISC-V single-core processor. The ESP32-C3 integrates a rich set of peripherals, ranging from UART, I2C, I2S, remote control peripheral, LED PWM controller, general DMA controller, TWAI controller, USB Serial/JTAG controller, temperature sensor, and ADC. It also includes SPI, Dual SPI, and Quad SPI interfaces.
This special board, designed for following the comes with:
- The ESP32-C3-MINI-1 module
- A 6-DoF IMU -
- Temperature and humidity sensor -
- Li-Ion battery charger
- Type-C USB
The board is designed to be easily used in training sessions, demonstrating Rust capabilities with all the board peripherals.
