Additionally, the board includes a handful of LEDs and buttons to aid in your development. It also features a LiPo charger, so your ESP32 project can be battery-powered and truly wireless. In addition to the WiFi/BLE SoC, the Thing includes an FTDI FT231x, which converts USB to serial, and allows your computer to program and communicate with the microcontroller. The SparkFun ESP32 Thing equips the ESP32 with everything necessary to program, run and develop on the wonderchip. You can even program the Thing through the Arduino IDE by installing the ESP32 Arduino Core. The Thing does everything from turning on an LED to posting data with phant.io and can be programmed just like any microcontroller. Why the name? We lovingly call it the “Thing” because it’s the perfect foundation for your Internet of Things project. The ESP32’s power and versatility will make it the foundation of IoT and connected projects for many years to come. Like the 8266, the ESP32 is a WiFi-compatible microcontroller, but to that, it adds support for Bluetooth low-energy (i.e BLE, BT4.0, Bluetooth Smart), and nearly 30 I/O pins. SparkFun ESP32 Thing by SparkFun Electronicsĭescription: The SparkFun ESP32 Thing is a comprehensive development platform for Espressif’s ESP32, their super-charged version of the popular ESP8266. Various input, output, power, and sensor boards are available. Each LilyPad was creatively designed to have large connecting pads to allow them to be sewn into clothing. LilyPad is a wearable e-textile technology developed by Leah Buechley and cooperatively designed by Leah and SparkFun. The LiPo battery is even rechargeable through the board, no more special external LiPo chargers required! These boards were designed to streamline your next sewable project by keeping things simple and giving you more room to work while eliminating the need to sew a power supply. Just select the relevant Arduino model in the Boards menu for example, ‘Arduino Uno’ for an Elegoo Uno R3. Elegoo boards can be programmed using the Arduino IDE, which means you can leverage your existing knowledge and code base. Just like the LilyPad Simple, this board operates at 3.3V and features a JST socket so you can directly connect a Li-Po battery for power and an on-board power switch so you can turn it off when you’re not feeling particularly blinky. One significant advantage of Elegoo over some other clones is its compatibility with Arduino tools. The LilyPad USB is also officially supported in the Arduino IDE as of version 1.0.2! Not only does that mean that it’s running a variation of the latest and greatest bootloader, but it also means no more FTDI Basic! The only extra piece of hardware you need to program the LilyPad USB is a micro-USB cable since the new IC has built-in USB support. We’ve updated the Simple board to create the LilyPad USB by replacing the classic ATMega328 with the new ATMega32U4. LilyPad Arduino USB - ATmega32U4 Board by SparkFun Electronicsĭescription: The LilyPad Simple just got a whole lot… simpler.
