Olimex ESP32-C5-DevKit-Lipo

The Olimex ESP32-C5-DevKit-Lipo is a compact, breadboard-friendly development board built around the ESP32-C5-WROOM-N8R4 module. It combines dual-band Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5 LE, Zigbee, Thread, and Matter support on a single board, making it a good choice for wireless IoT, smart home, and embedded projects. The ESP32-C5 module features a 32-bit RISC-V processor running at up to 240MHz, along with 8MB of SPI flash and 4MB of PSRAM to provide plenty of space for applications and data. Designed for easy prototyping, the board includes two rows of GPIO headers with access to all available pins, a UEXT connector for compatible expansion modules, user and reset buttons, a user LED, and a breadboard-friendly header spacing. Two USB Type-C connectors are provided. One connects through the on-board CH340 USB-to-serial interface for power and programming, while the second offers native USB for power and JTAG debugging. The integrated Li-Po battery charger (JST-PH) and UPS circuit allow projects to continue running when USB power is disconnected. A charging status LED, battery voltage measurement, and external power sensing are also included, making it suitable for portable and battery-powered applications. Features
