The Internet of Things (IoT) is a network of physical devices, vehicles and other items embedded with electronics, software, sensors, and connectivity which enables these objects to connect and exchange data. The Adafruit Feather AIoT board is a powerful and versatile tool for building Internet of Things (IoT) projects. Equipped with an ESP32-S3 microcontroller, this board offers a combination of WiFi, BLE, and low-power capabilities, making it well-suited for a wide range of IoT applications.
Technical Specifications
- The Adafruit Feather AIoT S3 is powered by Espressif’s ESP32-S3 WROOM 1 N8R8 module. The ESP32-S3 uses the Xtensa dual-core LX7 processor which is based on 32-bit architecture and works at 240MHz.
- The board features 384 KB ROM, 8MB Flash, 8MB PSRAM and 512KB SRAM and comes up with Wi-Fi 4 and Bluetooth 5.
- You can charge LiPo and Li-Ion batteries on the Adafruit Feather AIoT S3 board using the 5V USB Type-C port. The board supports I2C, SPI and UART interfaces for connecting to external devices.
The ESP32-S3 microcontroller’s vector extension makes it suitable for machine-learning applications like image and signal processing, object detection and recognition, and neural network interference.
Connectivity Features of Adafruit Feather
The Adafruit Feather AIoT S3 features Wi-Fi 4 and Bluetooth 5 for wireless communication. A 2-pin connector is available on board for a single Cell LiPo / Li-Ion battery. 3 buttons are available on board for reset, boot, and user buttons. Pressing the reset button once will restart the ESP32-S3 processor while pressing it twice will enter UF2 Bootloader mode. Additionally BOOT button, when pressed, grants access to the ROM Bootloader, which can be utilized with esptool.
