ESP32-PICO-KIT is an ESP32-based mini development board produced by Espressif.
This description covers ESP32-PICO-KIT V4 and V4.1. The difference is the upgraded USB-UART bridge from CP2102 in V4 with up to 1 Mbps transfer rates to CP2102N in V4.1 with up to 3 Mbps transfer rates.
The core of this board is ESP32-PICO-D4 - a System-in-Package (SiP) module with complete Wi-Fi and Bluetooth functionalities. Compared to other ESP32 modules, ESP32-PICO-D4 integrates the following peripheral components in one single package, which otherwise would need to be installed separately:
40 MHz crystal oscillator
4 MB flash
Filter capacitors
RF matching links
I/O USB interface
Buttons & LEDs
This setup reduces the costs of additional external components as well as the cost of assembly and testing and also increases the overall usability of the product.
The development board features a USB-UART Bridge circuit which allows developers to connect the board to a computer's USB port for flashing and debugging.
All the IO signals and system power on ESP32-PICO-D4 are led out to two rows of 20 x 0.1" header pads on both sides of the development board for easy access. For compatibility with Dupont wires, 2 x 17 header pads are populated with two rows of male pin headers. The remaining 2 x 3 header pads beside the antenna are not populated. These pads may be populated later by the user if required.
