2PCS ESP32 ESP32-S3 WiFi+Bluetooth Internet of Things Dual Type-C Development Board Core Board ESP32-S3-DevKit C N8R2 for Arduino

Not a bad little board but the Voltage Regulator is not the one in the reference design. This board uses the AMS1117 with a 5mA quiescent current making this board absolutely useless for use on batteries. Why would you put a low power MCU on a module that has an 8mA overhead?

The product appears to work OK. However, if you plan to program this module with the Arduino IDE (V2), you need to know that either USB-C port on the module can be used to connect to your computer's USB port for programming purposes. However, if you need to view the Serial Monitor, you MUST use the USB-C port on the module labeled "USB", not the one labeled "COM". I spent a lot of time trying to figure out why the Serial Monitor would not work.

I have attached what I think is the correct pinout, but only because GPIO48 seems to be correct for the RGB LED.I have gotten it to work under VScode and PlatformIO by using it as a: esp32-s3-devkitc-1But the flash size for that board is only 4MB and wrong, so I'll have top dig a little deeper if I want to be able to use the whole 8MB of the flash on this chip.

I'm happy to see they built the jtag interface onto the microcontroller. I found if the loaded program puts it in a bootloop the jtag usb doesn't initialize and one has to reload it via the COM port.
