Microflex MCUs Features ESP32 S3, S2, C3, C6, and RPi RP2040 In compact Size

SB Components, a renowned manufacturer in embedded technology, has unveiled the Microflex MCU development boards. These compact boards feature five different microcontrollers: ESP32-S3, ESP32-S2, ESP32-C3, ESP32-C6, and Raspberry Pi Pico RP2040. Applications include sensor networks, handheld devices, smart home systems, IoT solutions, and wearable technologies.

All the boards in this series share the same footprint and pinout and they support standard protocols like SPI, I2C, I2S (except for the Micro-RP model), UART, and 12-bit ADCs. The Micro-S2 is unique in its class, featuring 2x 13-bit SAR ADCs and a dual 8-bit DAC.

You can program the ESP32-series boards using ESP-IDF, MicroPython, or Arduino IDE. The Raspberry Pi RP2040 (Micro-RP) board is compatible with Raspberry Pi’s MicroPython and C/C++ SDKs and it also works with Arduino IDE.

The MicroFlex MCU series, includes a 170-pin breadboard, a 1.3” LCD, programmable LEDs and buttons, a buzzer, a potentiometer, and extra power supply pins. It’s designed to offer a complete platform for technical experiments and prototyping.
