## Description

The smallest, most feature-rich ESP32 dev board is here! **TinyPICO** has incredible processing power for a board that's shorter than an alkaline battery.

Thanks to creator-maker [Seon Rozenblum](https://unexpectedmaker.com), you can tinker with a tiny, mighty, uncompromising board with 4MB extra RAM, on-board RGB LED, and a 700 mAh 3.3V regulator. MicroPython firmware is pre-loaded, and with support for Arduino IDE and Espressif IDF, you get the flexibility to code your way.

Comes with unassembled male headers, stacking headers, [JST PH](https://core-electronics.com.au/search/?q=jst%20ph) battery connector, and [JST MicroBlade](https://core-electronics.com.au/search/?q=microblade) battery connector.

## *Why Adafruit Made TinyPICO*

*There are quite a few ESP32 boards on the market, but they all require you to compromise on one or more features. Some don’t have on-board battery management, while some do but they don’t have low deep sleep current. Others have great low-power modes, but are large and not breadboard-friendly, and none of them have extra RAM unless you go for a more expensive and larger WROVER-powered board.*

*Adafruit just weren’t happy with the status quo - Adafruit wanted to have Adafruit's cake and eat it too!*

*So Adafruit designed the smallest un-compromising ESP32 development board in the world, and then went a step further and gave it 4 MB of extra RAM, an on-board RGB LED, and more juice with a 700 mA 3.3 V regulator.*
