This 30-Pin ESP32 Development Board with Matching Baseboard (Expansion Shield) is a versatile, high-stability hardware kit designed to simplify IoT prototyping. By combining the industry-standard ESP32-DevKitC with a dedicated power-management baseboard, it eliminates the need for messy breadboards and unstable jumper wires.
Product Description
The ESP32-DevKitC 30-Pin Kit is an entry-level yet powerful solution for wireless connectivity. The core board features the ESP32-WROOM-32 module, providing a dual-core 240MHz processor with integrated Wi-Fi and Dual-mode Bluetooth.
The accompanying Baseboard (Expansion Shield) is the highlight of this kit. It breaks out all 30 pins into easy-to-use headers and includes a dedicated DC Power Jack and specialized voltage regulation. This allows the ESP32 to drive power-hungry peripherals—such as servos, motors, and large LED displays—that would normally crash a board powered only by a computer’s USB port. This combination is highly recommended for industrial prototyping and educational environments where durability is key.
Key Features
  • Dual-Core Processing: Powered by the Xtensa® 32-bit LX6 microprocessor, capable of handling complex tasks independently.
  • Robust Power Management: The baseboard accepts a wide range of DC input (6.5V–12V) and provides stable 5V and 3.3V rails to all peripheral pins.
  • Plug-and-Play Headers: Every GPIO pin is broken out alongside dedicated VCC and GND pins, allowing for “one-cable” sensor connections.
  • Hybrid Connectivity: Supports Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth (Classic + BLE) simultaneously.
  • Breadboard Eliminator: The baseboard includes four mounting holes (3mm) for permanent installation in project boxes or industrial panels.
Usage Scenarios
  • Business / Industrial: Rapid prototyping of wireless sensor nodes, industrial gateways, and automated testing fixtures.
  • Single User / Hobbyist: Perfect for smart home DIY (WLED, Home Assistant nodes), retro gaming, and learning ESP-IDF or Arduino programming.
  • Education: A cleaner, safer alternative to breadboards for classroom settings, reducing accidental short circuits.
Q: Is this the 30-pin or 38-pin version?

This is the 30-pin version. Please ensure your code pin-assignments match the 30-pin layout. The baseboard is specifically sized to fit the 30-pin DevKitC perfectly.

Q: Can I power the board via the Baseboard and USB at the same time?

Yes. The board features protection diodes that allow you to plug in the DC Jack for peripheral power while keeping the USB connected to your PC for programming/debugging.

Q: Do I need a specific driver for the USB connection?

Most of these boards use the CP2102 or CH340 serial chip. Modern operating systems (Windows 10/11) usually install these automatically, but drivers are available on our support page if needed.

Q: Why should I use the baseboard instead of just the ESP32?

The baseboard provides a much more stable power supply. If you connect a 5V sensor or a servo directly to the ESP32, it may “brown out” and reboot. The baseboard’s dedicated regulator prevents this.

Q: Is the ESP32 module removable?

Yes. The ESP32-DevKitC is seated in female headers on the baseboard. You can easily remove the core module to use it in a final custom PCB later.

Q: What is the maximum voltage the DC Jack can handle?

For optimal performance and heat management, we recommend 9V to 12V DC. While it can handle slightly higher, 12V is the industry standard for maximum stability.
