Espressif ESP32-C3-DevKit-RUST-1 Development Board w/ IMU & Sensors

Install the Rust toolchain and the `espup` installer to set up the ESP-IDF Rust environment. Clone the `esp-rs` repository for board-specific examples. Connect the board via USB-C, set the target to `riscv32imc-esp-espidf`, and use `cargo run` to build and flash your first application. The toolchain configures all necessary libraries for Wi-Fi, BLE, and sensor access.

Yes, the board is fully compatible with the Arduino Core for ESP32 and the official ESP-IDF framework in C/C++. In Arduino IDE, add the ESP32 board support URL and select 'ESP32-C3 Dev Module' as your target. For ESP-IDF, ensure you have the latest release and select the `esp32c3` target. The onboard sensors may require additional library support from the Espressif component registry or community drivers.

The board's operating current depends on active radios and CPU load, with deep sleep modes available for battery conservation. Connect a 3.7V Li-Ion or Li-Po battery to the designated terminals; the onboard charger manages charging via USB-C. Monitor battery voltage through the designated ADC pin. For lowest power, use the ESP32-C3's light-sleep or deep-sleep functions, disabling Wi-Fi/BLE and sensors when not in use.

The sensors are connected via I2C. In Rust, use the `embedded-hal` I2C driver and sensor-specific crates (like `lsm6ds3tr-c` for IMU). In ESP-IDF C, use the `i2c_master` component to scan for devices and communicate using the sensor's datasheet registers. Example code for reading acceleration, gyroscope, temperature, and humidity is typically provided in the `esp-rs` examples or Espressif's GitHub repositories for this development kit.
