Assemble ESP-Claw

ESP-Claw Breadboard
  1. Install ESP32-S3-DevKitC-1 on the breadboard

    Place ESP32-S3-DevKitC-1 at the center of one breadboard, leaving one empty column on each side for later peripheral wiring.

  2. Connect a display (optional)

    Connect a display as shown in the diagram above. Make sure display power is connected to the 3V3 power pin.

  3. Connect a USB camera (optional)

    On ESP32-S3, GPIO20 and GPIO19 map to USB D+ and D-. The USB camera also needs power, which can be taken from the ESP32-S3 5V pin.

    For the USB camera sample sold by Espressif, the 2-pin connector near the USB port can connect a speaker, and the 2-pin connector on the other side can connect a microphone.

  4. Connect a WS2812 strip/ring (optional)

    The WS2812 strip/ring needs power, which can be taken from the ESP32-S3 5V pin. The DATA IN pin should be connected to ESP32-S3 GPIO14.

  5. Connect a servo (optional)

    The servo requires 5V power, available from the ESP32-S3 5V pin. The servo PWM signal pin should connect to ESP32-S3 GPIO47.
