Frequently Asked Questions

How do I program the ESP32-S3-Korvo-2 board?

Install the ESP-IDF framework or Arduino Core for ESP32-S3. Connect the board via its USB-C port, which uses a CP2102N bridge. Select the correct COM port in your IDE, choose the 'ESP32-S3' target, and flash your firmware. The board is fully compatible with Espressif's development ecosystems, including ESP-IDF's audio pipeline components for the onboard codec and ADC.

What is the purpose of the ES7210 and ES8311 chips on this board?

The ES7210 is a high-performance, low-power 4-channel audio ADC designed for microphone arrays, converting analog signals from the onboard mic for digital processing. The ES8311 is a mono audio codec that handles digital-to-analog conversion for playback and includes features like gain control and filtering. Together, they form a complete audio front-end for voice capture and playback applications on the ESP32-S3.

Can I connect external microphones or speakers to the Korvo-2 board?

Yes. While the board has an onboard microphone, the ES7210 ADC supports up to four channels via its interface. You can connect external electret or MEMS microphones to the available GPIOs configured for I2S. For output, the NS4150 amplifier drives a speaker via its output pins. You can also bypass the onboard amp and use the line-out from the ES8311 codec to connect to an external amplifier or headphones.

What are the power requirements and sleep current for battery operation?

The board is powered via the USB-C port at 5V. The ESP32-S3 module itself operates at 3.3V, regulated onboard. For battery operation, you can supply 3.7V-5V to the appropriate pins. The ESP32-S3 supports ultra-low-power sleep modes; deep sleep current can be as low as 10-20µA, while light sleep is around 0.8mA, making it suitable for always-listening, battery-powered voice applications.
