Loading 3D model… large boards can take a moment.
A student electronics project — a large, spacious development shield designed to make working with ESP32 reliable, practical, and accessible. Whether you're prototyping, learning, or building something more permanent, this board gives you the room and connectivity to do it right.
The ESP32 Shield V1 breaks out all useful GPIO pins (bootstrapping pins like GPIO11 excluded) through both terminal block connectors for permanent wiring and male pin headers for Dupont jumper wire access. It supports both the ESP32 DevKit C and ESP32-S variants — both fit into the onboard 2×19 socket pins.
Power is supplied through a modern USB-C 6-pin connector, compatible with any USB-C charger or USB-A to USB-C adapter — no more bulky legacy connectors. A power LED confirms the board is live at a glance.
