Waveshare ESP32-Based General Driver board for Robots supports Wi-Fi & Bluetooth

The Waveshare ESP32-Based General Driver Board for Robots is a versatile control solution built to simplify robot motion control and wireless communication. At its core, the board uses the ESP32 microcontroller, enabling seamless WiFi, Bluetooth, and ESP-NOW connectivity for real-time control, monitoring, and coordination between devices.

Its main function is to act as a central driver and communication hub, allowing robots to receive commands wirelessly while interfacing smoothly with powerful controllers like Raspberry Pi and Jetson Nano. This makes it an excellent choice for smart robots, autonomous systems, and IoT-enabled robotic applications where flexibility, connectivity, and performance matter.

Features:

• Based on the ESP32-WROOM-32 module, allows wireless communication like WIFI, Bluetooth, and ESP-NOW.
• Onboard motor control interfaces for two (2) DC motors with encoders or four (2) DC motors without encoders.
• Onboard serial bus servo control interfaces for controlling up to 253 ST3215 serial bus servos and receiving servo feedback.
• Onboard 9-axis IMU provides attitude and heading information at any time.
• Supports 7-13V power input and can be powered directly by a 2S or 3S lithium battery module.
• Automatic download circuit for easy uploading of programs.
  Support input voltage/current monitoring.
