SparkFun Pro Micro – ESP32-C3 Features a Qwiic Connector

SparkFun has recently announced the “SparkFun Pro Micro – ESP32-C3” board, an ESP32-C3-based development board featuring SparkFun’s Qwiic Connect System. This compact board includes Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPIO, SPI, UART, I2C, I2S, and all the necessary hardware required for advanced IoT and embedded applications.

Previously we have covered many ESP32-C3-based development boards like the Wemos Lolin C3 Pico, Olimex ESP32-C3-DevKit-LiPo, Lilygo T-Zigbee with ESP32-C3, Adafruit QT Py ESP32-C3 and many other ESP32-C3 powered development board, feel free to check those out if you are interested in the ESP32-C3 module.

The Pro Micro ESP32-C3 features a RISC-V core, 400KB of SRAM, and runs at 160MHz, all integrated into a compact 1.3in. x 0.7in. board. It features an easy Qwiic connection, built-in WiFi, Bluetooth 5, and 22 GPIOs, supporting ADC, SPI, UART, and I2C, perfect for a wide range of projects.
