M5Stack M5StampS3A with 1.27 Header Pin

Description

Stamp-S3A PIN1.27 Module is a highly integrated embedded module based on the Espressif ESP32-S3FN8. It combines a 240MHz Xtensa 32-bit LX7 dual-core processor, 8MB Flash, a programmable RGB LED, a user button, and an optimized 2.4GHz 3D antenna for compact wireless designs.

Compared with larger integration styles, the pre-soldered 1.27mm-pitch SMT header gives the Stamp-S3A PIN1.27 Module a smaller footprint for high-density PCB layouts. It breaks out 23 GPIOs and supports rich interfaces including touch sensor, SPI, UART, I2C, I2S, GPIO, pulse counter, PWM, SDIO, and SD/MMC host control.

For smart home devices, intelligent IoT nodes, industrial control terminals, and wearables, the Stamp-S3A PIN1.27 Module offers a compact Wi-Fi controller with development support for Arduino IDE, UiFlow2, ESP-IDF, and PlatformIO.

Notes

ESP32-S3 pins G0 and G46 are strapping pins that determine the boot mode. By default, G0 is pulled up and G46 is internally pulled down so the chip can boot from SPI Flash. Do not pull G46 high before boot, or the chip may fail to start.

An SPI interface for a TFT display is reserved on the back of the module. Compatible FPC connector specifications are 8 pin and 12 pin.

FAQ

What processor does it use?

It uses the ESP32-S3FN8 with a dual-core Xtensa LX7 processor running up to 240MHz.

What is different about the 1.27mm version?

The Stamp-S3A PIN1.27 Module uses a pre-soldered 1.27mm-pitch SMT header for smaller, denser PCB integration.

How many GPIOs are available?

The module exposes 23 GPIOs for embedded integration.

Which development platforms are supported?

It supports Arduino IDE, UiFlow2, ESP-IDF, and PlatformIO workflows.

What boot-pin caution should be noted?

Do not pull G46 high before boot, because G0 and G46 are strapping pins that determine boot mode.
