ESP32 Thing Plus (USB-C) Hookup Guide

Contributors: santaimpersonator, Brudnerd

Introduction

The SparkFun ESP32-WROOM Thing Plus (USB-C) enjoys all the features of our previous ESP32 Thing Plus (Micro-B) boards, but with a few improvements. For this variant, we have included a SD card slot, upgraded to a USB-C connector, integrated a RGB status LED and battery fuel gauge, and provided two voltage regulators; offering separate 700mA current sources for the board and Qwiic connector. The board still retains its standardized 28-pin Feather footprint, 2-pin JST battery connector, and Qwiic connector like our other Thing Plus boards.

The ESP32-WROOM module on the board provides a rich set of peripherals, ranging from capacitive touch sensors, SD card interface, Ethernet, high-speed SPI, UART, I2S, and I2C. With Espressif's ESP32 comprehensive development platform and Bluetooth low-energy support (i.e BLE, BT4.0, Bluetooth Smart) these boards are jam packed with possibilities!

Note: The CH340C serial-to-UART bridge is used on this board. Therefore, a different driver installation is required from previous versions of the ESP32 Thing Plus.

Not Yet Implemented: The Arduino core for the ESP32 microcontroller are still a work in progress. There are a handful of peripherals and features that have yet to be implemented, including:

The peripherals are available (if, also, still in their infancy) in the IoT Development Framework for the ESP32. If your application requires any of the features above, consider giving the ESP-IDF a try! (Updated: June 2022.)

Retired Suggested Reading

As a more professionally oriented product, we will skip over the more fundamental tutorials (i.e. Ohm's Law and What is Electricity?). However, below are a few tutorials that may help users familiarize themselves with various aspects of the board.

Serial Communication

Asynchronous serial communication concepts: packets, signal levels, baud rates, UARTs and more!

Installing Arduino IDE

A step-by-step guide to installing and testing the Arduino software on Windows, Mac, and Linux.

Logic Levels

Learn the difference between 3.3V and 5V devices and logic levels.

I2C

An introduction to I2C, one of the main embedded communications protocols in use today.

Analog vs. Digital

This tutorial covers the concept of analog and digital signals, as they relate to electronics.

How to Work with Jumper Pads and PCB Traces

Handling PCB jumper pads and traces is an essential skill. Learn how to cut a PCB trace, add a solder jumper between pads to reroute connections, and repair a trace with the green wire method if a trace is damaged.

Installing Board Definitions in the Arduino IDE

How do I install a custom Arduino board/core? It's easy! This tutorial will go over how to install an Arduino board definition using the Arduino Board Manager. We will also go over manually installing third-party cores, such as the board definitions required for many of the SparkFun development boards.

One of the new, advanced features of the board is that it takes advantage of the Qwiic connect system. We recommend familiarizing yourself with the Logic Levels and I2C tutorials. Click on the banner above to learn more about Qwiic products.
