ESP32-S3 possible devkits-like options for dev boards

Postby 64bittz » Tue Mar 28, 2023 12:42 pm

Hi everyone,
As the title says I’m looking for a dev board for the ESP32-S3 that has the contact pins for the castellated holes of the WROOM module (for easy solderless module swap), just like the devkits for the OG ESP32 or the burn fixtures that are scattered on every hobbyist site for the same module.
Is there a chance espressif might make a devkits for the S3 or are there any other third party options to choose from?
Thanks

Like this? https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003979778978.html
No, this is the devkitc and in fact it does not have those spring pins to pull the module out without desoldering. I’m looking for something like this:
https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp ... -v1.1.html

Or this
€ 6,90 35% Off | ESP32 test board ESP32-WROVER small batch burn fixture, for ESP-32 module ESP-WROOM-32 module
https://a.aliexpress.com/_mNBg7bY

Just for the S3, instead of the original ESP32

Ahh solderless. Right. I misread.
Could you use a FlexyPin adapter?

I could surely do that, but at that point I think I prefer having a soldered module with all the supporting circuitry. I need the USB port that goes directly to the S3. With just the adapter I would have to make my own “devkit” on a breadboard. If nothing else works I might have to do that.
I guess you didn’t find anything else which means there is no option yet

Thanks for the FlexyPin hint. https://lectronz.com/products/esp32-s2- ... in-adapter looks like it might be what I can't find on amazon.
edit: it has no usb builtin. They do have a footprint https://github.com/solderparty/flexypin ... M_flexypin

I didn't look, so there will probably be options I'm not aware of.
