Adafruit HUZZA32

• Adafruit HUZZAH32 – ESP32 Feather Board, https://www.adafruit.com/product/3405
• based on ESP-WROOM-32 module, uses ESP32-D0WDQ6 chip, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ESP32

• board available from DigiKey quantity "hundreds" ~CAD$35

• Pinouts & etc: https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-huzzah32-esp32-feather/pinouts

• • USB power connector
  • connection for external 3.7 V battery, charged from USB
  • serial IO 3.3V RX+TX
  • 1x SPI (where is the rest?)
  • 1x I2C (where is the rest?)
  • 7 GPIO top, shared with 2 DACs and 6 ADCs
  • 7 GPIO bottom, shared with 7 ADCs and other functions
  • everything is 3.3V, *NOT* 5V safe
  • there is ADC1 and ADC2, not clear what it means, ADC voltage range not clear
  • ADC1 or ADC2 cannot be used with Wifi (this is unclear)
  • ESP32 SD card interface not connected
  • ESP32 serial IO connected to USB via USB-serial-bridge chip (the best I can tell)
  • power is USB with battery backup, one header pin provides regulated 3.3 V power to user (available current not clear, maybe 250 mA), battery voltage is on A13

• suggested use with Ardiuno BSP (not mongoose OS)

ESP-WROOM-32 module

• ESP32 chip is a very basic microcontroller, CPU is done by same people who did MIPS CPUs.
• ESP32 is supported by "Mongoose OS", familiar with it as we already use the mongoose web server from same people.
