FireBeetle 2 ESP32-S3
by DFRobot
FireBeetle 2 ESP32-S3 is a high-performance main-controller built around the ESP32-S3-WROOM-1-N16R8 module. ESP32-S3-WROOM-1-N16R8 comes with 16MB Flash and 8MB PSRAM for storing more data. The acceleration for neural network computing and signal processing workloads provided by the ESP32-S3 chip make the module an ideal choice for a wide variety of applications, such as speech recognition, image recognition, and so on.
FireBeetle 2 ESP32-S3 offers a camera interface onboard for easy connection with a camera. Also, an independent camera power supply circuit is designed, which helps reduce interference from other signals to the camera. The board comes with an OV2640 camera that offers 2 megapixel, 68° FOV, and up to 1600×1200 resolution. Besides, its onboard easy-to-connect GDI greatly saves the trouble of wiring for using with a screen. Meanwhile, the controller integrates a power management function, which enables users to charge a Li-ion battery and turn the hardware on/off.
In addition, FireBeetle 2 ESP32-S3 supports WiFi and Bluetooth 5 (LE) dual-mode communication that reduces the difficulty of networking, and also both Bluetooth Mesh protocol and Espressif WiFi Mesh are supported for more stable communication and a larger coverage area. With the support of Matter protocol, the board can be used to develop industrial standard smart home devices for a wider range of IoT scenarios. FireBeetle 2 ESP32-S3 can be programmed by Arduino IDE, ESP-IDF, MicroPython and CircuitPython. Both C and Python are supported.
To use the camera under CircuitPython, you need to use the included frozen module AXP313a.

Absolute Newest
Every time we commit new code to CircuitPython we automatically build binaries for each board and language. The binaries are stored on Amazon S3, organized by board, and then by language. These releases are even newer than the development release listed above. Try them if you want the absolute latest and are feeling daring or want to see if a problem has been fixed.
Previous Versions of CircuitPython
All previous releases of CircuitPython are available for download from Amazon S3 through the button below. For very old releases, look in the OLD/ folder for each board. Release notes for each release are available at GitHub button below.
Older releases are useful for testing if you something appears to be broken in a newer release but used to work, or if you have older code that depends on features only available in an older release. Otherwise we recommend using the latest stable release.
