1. Overview
The ESP-WROVER-KIT is a newly-launched development board built around ESP32. This
board is compatible with ESP32 modules, including the ESP-WROOM-32 and ESP32WROVER. The ESP-WROVER-KIT features support for an LCD and MicroSD card. The I/O
pins have been led out from the ESP32 module for easy extension. The board carries an
advanced multi-protocol USB bridge (the FTDI FT2232HL), enabling developers to use
JTAG directly to debug the ESP32 through the USB interface. The development board
makes secondary development easy and cost-effective.
The ESP-WROVER-KIT dimensions are shown in the figure below.
