Proteus¶
This board is larger and designed to make it possible to add your own circuitry to make a complete IoT solution on one board. It includes a dual-core 240 MHz ESP32 with WiFi and Bluetooth. You can use the WiFi both in station (device) mode and access point mode. It includes traditional Bluetooth as well as BLE 4.0. On-board is a 3.3V regulator and a battery charging device that enables you to switch between using USB or battery power.
The battery is automatically charged in the USB is plugged in. A status light shows if it is charging or fully charged. All ESP32 pins bar the flash pins are exposed and available for your use.
The board includes a large prototyping area that includes room for traditional DIP and through-hole components as well as SMD parts such as SOIC and SOT-23. A user LED and switch is included but not connected to any pins so you can use them how you wish. Two level shifters are included so you can interface with 5V devices.
The Proteus includes both 3.3V and 5V rails. Both these rails are available whether powered by the USB or the battery as the 5V is derived from the lower voltage.
