- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/ADA4729:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged.

## Description

The **ESP32-S2-Kaluga-1** kit is a full featured development kit by Espressif for the ESP32-S2 that comes with everything but the kitchen sink! From TFTs to touch panels, this dev board has it all. Espressif designed this kit to demonstrate the ESP32-S2’s human-computer interaction functionalities and provide the users with the tools for development of human-computer interaction applications based on their new WiFi modules with the ESP32-S2 chip

The Kaluga comes with a WROVER module, which has 2 MB (8 Mbit) PSRAM mounted for a roomy development environment!

The micro USB connector on the Kaluga is wired through a CP210x USB to serial converter chip for debugging and programming. The native USB is not available on a USB connector - instead you'll want to pick up a [Micro B USB connector breakout](https://core-electronics.com.au/usb-micro-b-breakout-board.html), [Type C USB connector breakout](https://core-electronics.com.au/adafruit-usb-c-breakout-board-downstream-connection.html) or [USB data cable](https://core-electronics.com.au/usb-type-a-plug-breakout-cable-with-premium-female-jumpers-30cm-long.html) and hand-wire D19/D20 to D- and D+ pads.

There are many ways of how the ESP32-S2’s abundant functionalities can be used. For starters, the possible use cases may include:

- **Smart home**: From simplest smart lighting, smart door locks, smart sockets, to video streaming devices, security cameras, OTT devices, and home appliances
- **Battery-powered equipment**: Wi-Fi mesh sensor networks, Wi-Fi-networked toys, wearable devices, health management equipment
- I**ndustrial automation equipmen**t: Wireless control and robot technology, intelligent lighting, HVAC control equipment, etc.
- **Retail and catering industry**: POS machines and service robots

Each order comes with a nice boxed kit containing:

- Main board: ESP32-S2-Kaluga-1
- ESP-LyraT-8311A audio player extension board
- ESP-LyraP-TouchA touch panel extension board
- ESP-LyraP-LCD32 3.2” LCD screen extension board
