ESP32 Low Power Module, based on Espressif's SoC capable of providing full compatibility with the standard MINI ESP32 version. Compared to the latter, this module lacks a USB interface, dedicated exclusively to programming the ESP32, making it ideal for low-power applications.

Compatible with the Arduino IDE, it includes a WiFi 802.11 b/g/n transceiver and a dual-mode Bluetooth interface (classic and BLE). On the WiFi link, it supports a data transmission speed of up to 150 Mbps, with an antenna output power of 20.5 dBm to maximize range. In sleep mode, power consumption is only 5 µA.

The module offers numerous interfaces for temperature sensors, touch sensors, SD-card, UART, SPI, SDIO, I²C, LED PWM, Motor PWM, I²S, IR

• USB Interface: The MINIESP32LP module lacks a USB interface, which is typically used for programming and debugging purposes in the MINI ESP32.

• Power Consumption: The MINIESP32LP module is optimized for low power consumption, making it suitable for applications where energy efficiency is critical. In sleep mode, it consumes only 5 µA of power, which is significantly lower compared to the MINI ESP32.

• Interfaces: Both modules offer various interfaces such as UART, SPI, I²C, etc. However, the MINIESP32LP module may have additional interfaces tailored for low-power sensor applications.

• WiFi and Bluetooth: Both modules feature a WiFi 802.11 b/g/n transceiver and a dual-mode Bluetooth interface (classic and BLE). However, the MINIESP32LP module may have power-saving optimizations to minimize energy consumption during wireless communication.

The ESP32 Low Power module is designed for interfacing with a PC via a serial communication port at 0/3.3V levels using the RXD and TXD lines of the internal UART. Since modern PCs only have USB as a form of serial interfacing, to implement communication for programming and firmware debugging purposes, a USB to UART converter is required, operating with serial signals at 3.3 volts, albeit following the RS232-C protocol.

The 1686-USBTOUART module, found in related products, features a USB interface that, in Windows-based personal computers, upon installing the provided drivers, gets associated with a virtual COM port. It can then be easily managed in the Arduino IDE by simply selecting the Serial Port command from the Tools menu and choosing the port created by the drivers in the submenu.

• Battery-powered IoT devices: to create IoT devices that need to operate on battery power for extended periods, such as environmental sensors, remote monitoring systems, or tracking devices.

• Remote monitoring systems: to develop remote monitoring systems for agriculture, environment, or health, which need to send data at regular intervals and consume minimal energy when not actively transmitting data.

• Wearable devices: thanks to its low power consumption, the module is suitable for wearable devices such as smartwatches, fitness bracelets, or health monitoring devices that need to be lightweight and operate for long periods without frequent charging.

• Remote control systems: to create remote control systems for home or industrial devices, such as smart remotes or home automation systems, requiring reliable connectivity and low power consumption.

• Energy monitoring systems: to develop domestic or industrial energy monitoring systems, which need to collect data from energy consumption sensors and send them to a central platform for analysis.

• The module with surface-mount components already assembled.
• 2 2x10 pin strips with a pitch of 2.54mm.
• 1 6-pin male pin strip.

The only operation required before use is to solder the 2x10 pin strips and the 6-pin male pin strip onto their respective pads on the module

To upload code and manage the module through the Arduino IDE (it is recommended to work with a version from 1.6.0 onwards), some preliminary operations need to be performed to install the libraries and load third-party board drivers, otherwise it will not be available in the Tools menu.
