Description
The NULA Dual ESP32-C5 is a development board built around the ESP32-C5-WROOM-1 module from Espressif. Its radio runs Wi-Fi 6 on both the 2.4 GHz and the 5 GHz band, and also handles Bluetooth LE, Zigbee and Thread. You can put a project on a crowded 2.4 GHz network or on 5 GHz, and talk to phones and 802.15.4 mesh devices from the same board.
The module has a 32-bit RISC-V core at up to 240 MHz, 384 KB of SRAM, 8 MB of flash and 8 MB of PSRAM. In deep sleep with the RTC timer running, the module draws 12 µA. The onboard TP4056M charges a single-cell Li-ion battery from USB at 400 mA, and the board switches to the battery by itself when you unplug the cable. A TPS7A2633 regulator makes the 3.3 V rail.
USB-C goes through a CH340K USB-to-serial chip with automatic reset, so you upload code without pressing any buttons. 19 GPIO come out on two 13-pin 2.54 mm headers that fit a breadboard; they ship unsoldered. The Qwiic connector has 10 kΩ pull-ups on SDA and SCL, so you can add sensors without soldering. There is also a WS2812B RGB LED on IO8, a user button on IO28 and a reset button. You program the board in the Arduino IDE with the ESP32 core from Espressif, in MicroPython with the generic ESP32-C5 firmware, or with ESP-IDF.
