XC01 - MCU WIFI BLE (ESP32-WROOM-32)
X-NODE MCU WIFI BLE (ESP32-WROOM-32) is based on the wireless SoC ESP32-WROOM-32 from Espressif Systems® that enables Bluetooth/BLE & WiFi 2.4GHz wireless communications and I2C, UART & SPI wired serial communications, it can perform as a X-NODE (slave) or a complete standalone X-BOARD system (master). Includes state-of-the-art features, such as fine-grained clock gating, various power modes and dynamic power scaling, balancing high performance, transmission speed and power consumption. Ideal for mobile devices, wearable electronics and IoT applications, like reading from sensors, controlling actuators, or even building home automation systems.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
I. How does it work?
The X-NODE MCU WIFI BLE (ESP32-WROOM-32) is based on the wireless SoC ESP32-WROOM-32 from Espressif Systems®, it comes with a micro USB type B connector that makes the programming of the device a simple task, it can be easily integrated in projects to enable wireless WiFi or Bluetooth communication, to connect microcontrollers, microprocessors or even industrial equipment to mobile devices or cloud services.
The X-NODE MCU WIFI BLE (ESP32-WROOM-32) is compatible with the mikroBUS™ standard, that makes it compatible with Mikroe® add-on boards ecosystem with 1000+ sensors and development boards including X-NODE devices. It also comes with two 4-pin JST connectors compatible with Sparkfun’s Qwiic connection system to expand its capabilities even further in a fast and easy way.

IV. Pinout
V. Software setup
The ESP32 module can be program with the same tools that any other Espressif SoC, therefore all development environments compatible with the ESP-IDF can be used to program the X-NODE MCU WIFI BLE (ESP32-WROOM-32). However, in order to connect to the device through the USB port the CP210x USB to UART bridge driver is needed. Once the driver is installed the device can be access through a virtual COM port.
