Setup Notes
Connect the board to your computer using a USB-C cable. Install ESP32 board support in Arduino IDE, then select the correct ESP32-C3 board and COM port before uploading code.
Use 3.3V-safe sensors and modules when connecting to GPIO pins. Do not connect 5V signals directly to ESP32-C3 GPIO pins.
Important Notes
- Select the correct style before checkout.
- USB-C cable is not included unless stated in the package.
- Use 3.3V logic on GPIO pins.
- Use a stable USB power source for WiFi projects.
- Check the board pinout before wiring sensors or modules.
- For first upload, you may need to use the BOOT button.
Recommended Add-ons

FAQ
What is the ESP32-C3 Super Mini used for?
It is used for compact WiFi and Bluetooth projects, IoT devices, sensors, smart controls, and small prototypes.
What is the difference between the two styles?
The flash memory welded style uses external flash soldered on the board. The built-in 4M flash style uses built-in 4MB flash memory.
Can I use this with Arduino IDE?
Yes. Install ESP32 board support in Arduino IDE before uploading code.
Does it support Bluetooth?
Yes. ESP32-C3 supports Bluetooth 5 LE.
Are the GPIO pins 5V tolerant?
No. Use 3.3V logic. Do not connect 5V signals directly to the GPIO pins.
