This 30-Pin ESP32 Development Board and Expansion Baseboard Kit is a versatile, industrial-grade prototyping solution. By pairing the classic ESP32-WROOM-32 module with a dedicated power-management shield, this kit solves the most common issues in IoT development: unstable power and messy wiring.
Product Description
The ESP32-DevKitC 30-Pin Kit is an all-in-one platform for high-performance wireless applications. The core development board features the powerful dual-core ESP32 chip, integrated Wi-Fi, and dual-mode Bluetooth.
The accompanying Baseboard (Expansion Shield) is designed to simplify hardware integration. It breaks out every GPIO pin into “GVS” headers (Ground-Voltage-Signal), allowing you to plug in sensors and servos directly. Crucially, the baseboard includes a DC Barrel Jack and onboard voltage regulation, providing the high-current 5V and 3.3V rails necessary to drive motors, relays, and large displays that standard USB ports cannot support. This combination is highly recommended for B2B rapid prototyping and educational labs where durability and clean wiring are priorities.
Key Features
  • Dual-Core Performance: Powered by the Xtensa® 32-bit LX6 processor (up to 240MHz) for multitasking and low-power operations.
  • Robust Power Management: The baseboard accepts 6.5V to 12V DC input, regulating it into stable power for the ESP32 and all connected peripherals.
  • “GVS” Header Layout: Every GPIO pin is grouped with a dedicated Power (V) and Ground (G) pin, enabling “one-cable” sensor connectivity.
  • Breadboard-Free Design: The baseboard features four 3.2mm mounting holes for secure, permanent installation in enclosures or control panels.
  • Hybrid Connectivity: Supports Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth (Classic + BLE) simultaneously.
  • Standard 30-Pin Layout: Uses the most widely supported ESP32 footprint, ensuring compatibility with thousands of open-source libraries and tutorials.
Usage Scenarios
  • Business / B2B: Prototyping for industrial gateways, smart building sensors, and secure wireless monitoring stations.
  • Single User / Maker: Creating advanced home automation nodes (WLED, Home Assistant) that require high-current peripherals like LED strips or servos.
  • Education: A robust, reusable tool for university-level embedded systems labs that prevents accidental short circuits from loose wires.
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. You can use the DC Jack for peripheral power while the USB remains connected to your PC for programming/debugging

Q: Why should I use the baseboard instead of a breadboard?

Breadboards often have high resistance and loose connections, leading to “ghost” bugs in Wi-Fi projects. The baseboard provides a secure, low-resistance connection and a much stronger 5V/3.3V regulator for high-power sensors

Q: Do I need to install drivers?

Depending on the board’s serial chip (usually CP2102 or CH340), your OS may need a driver. As of 2025, Windows 11 and macOS typically recognize these automatically.

Q: Can this board drive 5V servos?

Yes. By powering the baseboard via the DC Jack (e.g., a 9V or 12V adapter), the 5V pins on the shield can provide enough current for standard servos, which the ESP32 chip cannot do alone

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 for replacement or to use in a final custom PCB
