Arduino Nano ESP32 Without Headers [ABX00092] - ESP32-S3, USB-C, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, HID Support, MicroPython Compatible for IoT & Embedded Applications

bought for a future project i saw on youtube channel "drone workshop" worked great.

FCC certified high performance dev board with a lot of features. These are superior to the clones in several ways. Bluetooth signal is stronger. Bluetooth on clones aren't compatible with all devices as they should be. I didn't test wireless internet performance. The buck converter transmits a fair amount of noise on VIN. This is not as noisy as the clone Worth the extra few bucks over a clone unless you're burning through them developing a board.

This is a pretty inexpensive board for those looking to get into the world of the Internet of Things. I ended up choosing this rather than the clones or other ESP32's since this is an Arduino product and I'm using Arduino's Cloud services. So I was not surprised to find no problems integrating with their IoT services. For me, this was the main reason for getting this particular controller. I did not want to spend time tweaking knockoffs or clones to get them to work nor worry about their reliability.

Works like a charm. I can use it normally with C++ or switch to use Micropython very easily. When you get the Arduino IDE, it will automatically detect it and use TAMC Termod S3 (esp32 by Expressif Systems) as opposed to the board manager Arduino ESP32 Boards by Arduino. If you use the former, you can upload sketches easily using the IDE upload button. But if you want to use the latter, you have to go to Tools -> Programmer and check Esptool, then upload the sketches by using the Sketch -> Upload Using Programmer button. Otherwise it will fail telling you "No DFU capable USB device available". So make sure you follow the correct steps depending on which board manager software you are using on the IDE.

they compiled but have not actually put them in my contraption yet

Arduino IDE as of version 2.x won't reliably show the Nano ESP32 Wifi port. This is a known bug but Arduino support doesn't seem concerned that wifi doesn't work. Additionally, newer versions of the IDE don't work with other 32 bit wifi boards. Some users suggest dumping Arduino IDE altogether and moving to PlatformIO. If you are buying this to wirelessly upload sketches ,from within the Arduino IDE forget it!!

It’s like Nano Every with WiFi. Same pinout. So small, so cute, so versatile. I think this has more memory, and the WiFi lets you go (a bit) remote with your project. There’s a client server example that allows for messages from client to server (and a response back to the client). I use several boards on a stand-alone router. I recommend a static IP assignment at least for the server…

When I buy electronics online it's always a gamble how it will arrive. Mine was well packed and works as expected. Anyone like me who got into the Arduino game in the early days should pick one of these up. They are seriously amazing. They have the same footprint as the standard nano, but way more speed and functionality. Great value for money.

Fácil de usar y conectividad buena

L’Arduino Nano ESP32 est une évolution impressionnante de la gamme Nano, combinant la puissance du ESP32-S3 avec l’écosystème convivial d’Arduino. Conçu pour les développeurs cherchant un compromis entre flexibilité et simplicité, il offre des performances solides pour l’IoT, l’embarqué et les projets nécessitant du Wi-Fi ou du Bluetooth. Points Forts ✅ Puissance et connectivité : Le Nano ESP32 embarque un ESP32-S3, un microcontrôleur double cœur avec 8 Mo de PSRAM, garantissant une excellente performance pour les applications gourmandes en ressources. Il prend en charge le Wi-Fi 2.4 GHz et le Bluetooth LE 5.0, parfait pour les projets IoT. ✅ Compatibilité avec l’écosystème Arduino : Il bénéficie du support officiel d’Arduino IDE, MicroPython et CircuitPython, offrant une accessibilité optimale aux débutants comme aux développeurs avancés. ✅ Format compact et pratique : Avec son facteur de forme Nano, il est parfait pour les projets nécessitant une carte compacte mais performante. De plus, son connecteur USB-C assure une meilleure durabilité et un transfert de données rapide. ✅ Programmation flexible : L’ajout du mode UF2 bootloader facilite l’installation de firmwares alternatifs (MicroPython, CircuitPython) sans avoir à flasher manuellement la carte via ESP-IDF. Points à Améliorer ❌ Moins de GPIO que d’autres ESP32 Même si le Nano ESP32 conserve l’essentiel, il offre moins de broches d’E/S que certaines cartes ESP32 plus grandes, ce qui peut être une contrainte pour certains projets complexes. ❌ Absence de support natif ESPHome Contrairement à d’autres cartes ESP32, ce modèle ne dispose pas d’une compatibilité native avec ESPHome, ce qui peut être un frein pour certaines applications domotiques. ❌ Pas de double Wi-Fi (2.4 GHz & 5 GHz) Le module reste limité à 2.4 GHz, ce qui peut poser problème dans les environnements saturés. Verdict Final L’Arduino Nano ESP32 est un excellent choix pour ceux qui veulent profiter de la puissance du ESP32-S3 dans un format compact et avec l’accessibilité de l’écosystème Arduino. Il est idéal pour les projets IoT, l’embarqué et les applications nécessitant du Wi-Fi/Bluetooth, bien que certaines limitations en GPIO et en compatibilité ESPHome puissent poser problème selon l’usage. ⭐ Note finale : 4.5/5

Ce module est certainement le meilleurs rapport qualité/prix. 240MHz, Wifi intégré et normalement capable de gérer le HTTPS (HTTP seulement dispo sur UNO R4 Wifi). Bémol, mais personnellement je préfère ça, les connecteurs sont des pointes à planter sur une plaque d'essai. Moi, j'ai l'intention d'intégrer ce Nano sur un PCB, ce qui m'arrange. Attention toutefois. J'utilise Linux et ai dû créer une règle pour pouvoir télécharger mon code (merci ChatGpt !). J'oubliai, un seul port série, quand je serai plus au point, je me pencherai sur la possibilité d'en ajouter.

As expected

It is possible to buy much cheaper ESP32 boards, but usually the origin and quality of those boards is somewhat questionable. They are great for experimentation without worrying too much and for use cases where reliability is not a concern, but if I do build something that I want to last for years, I use original Arduino or Espressif boards like this one. One advantage of this board over some of the Espressif boards (and clones) is that the distance between the pin rows is compatible with breadboards. There is a small on-board RGB led which I have found very useful to program as a status indicator (i.e. red when disconnected, orange when connecting, green when online). Only slight disadvantage for me is that I am not a huge fan of the Arduino IDE. It is perfectly good for many scenarios, especially for beginners, but once (or *if*) you reach the point where you need for instance direct pin/port manipulation, experiment with assembly programming or try a more powerful IDE, the pin numbers in the Arduino IDE and on the boards make no sense. This board is no exception, and it means that a lot of ESP32 libraries you may want to use are not directly compatible. I know the dilemma it would be to change this tradition, but it really is the biggest down side.
