Frequently Asked Questions

How do I program the FireBeetle ESP32-E microcontroller?

You can program the board using the Arduino IDE with the ESP32 board package installed or the official Espressif ESP-IDF framework. Connect via USB, select the correct COM port and board variant (e.g., ESP32 Dev Module), and upload your code. The pre-soldered headers allow direct connection to a breadboard or shield without additional soldering.

What is the power supply requirement and how do I use a battery?

The board accepts 3.3V to 5.5V DC input via the VIN pin or USB port. For battery operation, connect a 3.7V lithium cell to the onboard PH2.0 connector. The integrated charging circuit manages charging via USB. In deep sleep mode, current draw can drop to 10µA, significantly extending battery life for remote sensor applications.

Can I connect a display to this FireBeetle board?

Yes, the board features a dedicated GDI (Graphic Display Interface) port designed for easy connection to compatible displays from the FireBeetle ecosystem. This port simplifies wiring for TFT or e-paper screens. You can also use standard GPIO pins for SPI or I2C displays with appropriate libraries in Arduino or ESP-IDF.
