Wi-Fi + BLE 5 RISC-V board with native USB-C and a Qwiic port
The ET-M01 is built around the Espressif ESP32-C3 — 32-bit RISC-V 160MHz, 400KB SRAM, 4MB flash (module), Wi-Fi 4 + Bluetooth 5 LE.
Two Qwiic / STEMMA QT connectors let you chain it with other boards without soldering, and the 2.54 mm header fits a breadboard.
Designed in Dubai by ElectroTrical — the full schematic, BOM and design notes are published below.
Good for
- Small Wi-Fi sensors and ESPHome nodes
- BLE beacons and remotes
- Learning ESP32 on a breadboard
