ESP32 Boards & Development Kits

Shop ESP32 development boards, starter kits, display boards, camera boards, expansion boards and other ESP32 hardware at Vetco Electronics. ESP32 microcontrollers are powerful, affordable development platforms with built-in wireless connectivity, making them a popular choice for IoT, automation, robotics, sensors, displays, embedded systems and connected electronics projects.

Our ESP32 selection includes traditional ESP32 development boards as well as newer ESP32-S3, ESP32-C6 and ESP32-P4 based hardware. We also carry ESP32-CAM camera boards, DFRobot FireBeetle boards, touchscreen and AMOLED development boards, starter kits and expansion hardware for building complete projects.

ESP32 Development Boards for IoT, Automation and Embedded Projects

ESP32 boards combine a programmable microcontroller with features such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or Bluetooth Low Energy, GPIO, analog and digital interfaces, and support for common communication protocols including I2C, SPI and UART. Depending on the ESP32 family and board design, additional features can include USB, displays, cameras, battery support and hardware designed for AI or multimedia applications.

These capabilities make ESP32 development boards useful for projects including:

• Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connected devices
• Home and industrial automation
• IoT sensors and remote monitoring
• Robotics and motor control
• Data logging and environmental monitoring
• Touchscreen and graphical user interfaces
• Camera and computer vision projects
• LED and RGB matrix controllers
• Battery-powered and portable electronics
• Prototyping custom embedded systems

ESP32, ESP32-S3, ESP32-C6 and ESP32-P4 Boards

The ESP32 family now includes several generations and specialized processors designed for different applications. Vetco carries boards built around multiple ESP32 platforms, allowing you to choose hardware based on processing requirements, wireless connectivity, size, power consumption and integrated peripherals.

ESP32 boards are excellent general-purpose development platforms for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth projects. Standard ESP32 development boards remain a practical choice for prototyping, sensors, automation and connected devices.

ESP32-S3 boards offer newer processing capabilities and are commonly used in more advanced applications involving displays, USB devices, audio, voice interfaces and embedded AI. Our selection includes ESP32-S3 development kits with integrated touchscreens, AMOLED displays and battery support.

ESP32-C6 hardware provides a newer RISC-V based platform designed for modern wireless and IoT development. Vetco carries ESP32-C6 hardware including compact development systems with integrated displays.

ESP32-P4 is designed for higher-performance embedded applications where significantly more processing capability is needed. Our ESP32 selection includes newer development hardware such as the DFRobot FireBeetle 2 ESP32-P4 AI Kit.

ESP32 Starter Kits

If you are getting started with ESP32, an ESP32 development kit can provide more than just the microcontroller board. Vetco carries ESP32 starter kits that combine an ESP32 board with components such as breadboards, displays, sensors and prototyping hardware so you can begin experimenting with real circuits and projects.

ESP32 boards are commonly programmed using the Arduino IDE and other development environments, making them approachable for people familiar with Arduino while providing substantially more integrated wireless capability and processing options.

ESP32 Boards with Displays, Cameras and Integrated Hardware

Not every ESP32 project needs to start with a basic development board. We carry specialized ESP32 boards that integrate hardware directly onto the development platform, including camera modules, LCD touchscreens, round displays, AMOLED displays, battery support and peripheral interfaces.

These integrated boards can reduce the amount of additional hardware required for projects such as control panels, portable instruments, smart displays, monitoring systems, cameras and interactive embedded devices.

ESP32 Expansion Boards and Project Hardware

Vetco also carries expansion and interface hardware for ESP32 development, including prototyping boards, I/O expansion shields and adapters for applications such as HUB75 RGB LED matrix displays.

Many sensors, displays, breadboards, jumper wires, relays, motors and other electronic modules traditionally used with Arduino can also be used with ESP32 projects. For additional project components, browse our Arduino & Raspberry Pi Products section.

ESP32 vs. Arduino

ESP32 and Arduino boards are both widely used for electronics prototyping and embedded development, but they are not the same platform
