ESP32 DevKitC 32U USB-C + 2.4GHz Antenna

The ESP32 DevKitC 32U USB-C + 2.4GHz Antenna pairs our USB-C ESP32 DevKitC 32U with a 3dBi external Wi-Fi antenna. The 32U uses the ESP32-WROOM-32U module, which has full Wi-Fi and Bluetooth but swaps the onboard PCB antenna for an IPEX connector. That means it needs an external antenna to connect, and this bundle includes one.

What's included

• ESP32 DevKitC 32U USB-C: ESP32 development board with the WROOM-32U module, IPEX antenna connector and USB-C.
• 2.4GHz 3dBi Wi-Fi antenna with SMA to IPEX connector: SMA antenna and IPEX pigtail that plugs straight onto the board.

Key features

• ESP32 dual-core Xtensa LX6 at up to 240MHz
• 2.4GHz Wi-Fi (802.11 b/g/n) and Bluetooth 4.2 with BLE
• IPEX antenna connector with the 3dBi antenna included
• USB-C for programming and power
• GPIO with ADC, DAC, capacitive touch, UART, SPI, I2C and PWM
• Works with Arduino IDE, ESP-IDF, MicroPython and ESPHome

Connecting the antenna

Press the IPEX end of the pigtail straight down onto the module's antenna connector until it clicks. Attach the antenna before using Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. The SMA end can be mounted through an enclosure wall so the antenna sits outside the box.

Recommended uses

• Devices in metal or sealed enclosures
• Smart home automation and ESPHome devices
• Environmental monitoring and remote sensors
• Robotics, drones and other projects where the board sits away from the router
