The ESP32-S3 Devkit EVERYONE Needs for IoT Projects! OBJEX Link S3LW

hello everyone it's Salvador from object slabs and the time is over for this Death kits for almost a decade I have been my controller Enthusiast starting with the basic Peak programming kits and working my way up to Arduino esp32 NRF and STM 32 but after countless project and Death kits I realized something there was a gap I needed a board that could handle any kind of iot application a devate capable of focusing on communication protocols and modular power supply for any use that's why we decide to develop objects link this new dev kit can handle up 100 Watts but wait there is more these two Dev kits can communicate with each other from miles away with Laura protocol and this board boost an incredible low power consumption down to a few n on pair basically with this dev kit you can design any kind of iot project so guys you can pre-order now objects link on our store you can find the link below in the description objects please also visit objects labs.com this is the objects link as fre LW and this is the LPM as fre LW these two boards are designed to simplify the design of iot solutions but first how you can use this board it's like an Arduino Uno or a classic esp3 to dev kit but with superpowers you can develop the same project plus you can make new ones in particular with this board you can power loads such as Motors strip BLS and more so finally you don't have to use external power supply along with classic dev kit like Arduino in addition this board allow you to optimize the Energy Efficiency of your battery power project in fact in deep stop mode the board draws only a few nanare this feature is very useful if you develop a project with solar panels or low Power Solutions and last but not least this board is compatible with four communication protocols Wi-Fi 4 ble ESP now and Laura and we have already developed a version with the esp32 C6 that integrates other protocols so we have develop a compact and flexible solution that ensure you can develop most of your project with just one dev kit there are many dev kit on the market that integrate sensor displays and other components that go into specializing the use of the dev kit itself but we believe that it's better to integrate only the necessary components into a dev kit if I need to integrate a sensor I can do it later with an external board these true products are designed for expert and beginner users now I will explain how to use them but first this project is sponsored by PCB way you can buy your pcbs for only $5 check the link below to place your first order so let's start by taking a closer look at the dev K you can power and program the board with the USBC connector this support the power delivery PPS 3.0 means that unlike the classic USB connector that allow you to power the board at 5 Volt 2 ampere this one allow you to power the board up 21 volt 5 aamp so about 100 watts in addition you can set a specific voltage and current value so you can smartly control any kind of load objects Link in this way becomes a small portable power supply of course choosing a compatible power delivery power supply is essential but I will give you a good news you most likely are read of it many phones and laptops support this standard so you can use these Chargers to power the board as you can see with these few components I develop a small power supply through this encoder I set voltage and current value understand that with power delivery you can power a variety of loads that you cannot usually power with dev kit on the market as you can see I can control the brightness of this lead strip which works at 12 volt you can also easily control Motors you can connect several of them and finally you no longer have to use any dcdc Step Up of your project as you can see I'm powering this fun at 12 volt so let's see another feature of this board how often do you find yourself disconnecting the USB C cable every time you change the hardware of one of your project with objects link you no longer should this which that all you to turn off the board also the board support the other stemma standard so you can use the sensor you already have in your lab with this dev kit in this demo I control the brightness of the lead strip with this brightness sensor as you can see it's much easier to make loads interact with sensors without the power delivery we would have to use an external power supply with a mosfet controlled by a GPU VI a PM the board has a power system consisting of a dcdc and an Ledo the dcdc takes care of dropping the voltage coming from the USBC connector into 5 Vol 2 ampere the ldo provides the 3.3 volt to the dev kit we didn't not add a battery manager because we preferred not to put a specific battery manager for a specific battery as you can see that the CDC is able to guarantee 2 ampere without overheating the board and objects link also has a Serial Bridge along with an autor reset circuit that give you the ability to program the board via USBC connector the board is compatible with the ESP ADF Arduino platform IO micropython and rust now let's write a very simple firmware for our objects link first we need to connect the board to our PC for this this example I will use platform IO so let's create a new project and let's make a very simple blink lead firware so I have connected the lead to jpo 6 now let's program the board and here we go as you can see it's very simple it's like programming an esp32 this one is another demo firmware to control theb lead under the objects logo as you can see use objects link is very simple these adders provide ground control over the lpms fre LW modules power supply enabling reducing power consumption for battery power applications for example if I want to bypass the lead I can remove this jumper or for example you can bypass the lower integrated circuit with this header the Deep stop mode is a feature of lpms 3 LW and LPM S3 this is not just another slep mode the Deep stop mode consists of a power ledge and an external RTC combined with a smart power management system that control the ESP 3s3 the sx1262 and all loads connected to 3.3 puff by controlling the power supply to all connected loads it's possible to minimize the power consumption thus increase the life of battery in addition an external mosfet can be driven to control multiple loads and this is the power consumption in deep stop mode without RTC and this test is with RTC and as you can see the power consumption is very low during the testing of the lpms 3w I used zma blade to do some test Zima blade is a single board server you can use Zima blade for different purpose such as smart home application to connect all your devices you can also install red node and other coops for iot and there are many expansion ports such as PCI SATA ethernet USB Below in the description you can find the link to learn more about about Zima blade a big thanks to Zab board team for providing me this incredible device this board designs it's based on the lpms 3w support the Laura protocol but wait what is Laura unlike Wi-Fi or B Laura can send data over great distance even up to miles in this way the LPM has FW to be able to talk to other devices even several miles away in addition Laura is much more efficient in term of power consumption than Wi-Fi and blle the esp32 S3 and sx1262 so the Laura integrated circuit are connected to each other via SPI developing low devices with objects link has never been AER here is an example as you can see the firmware is very simple I'm using the rad library and this you see is a simple example so we have two death kit talking to each other through Laura from this dev kit via this button I REM ly turn on and off the lead strip which is powered via power delivery for example you can control loads such as Motors lead strip display transmission system such as GPS modules 4 and 5G modules gateways or remotely via Laura or even via Wi-Fi we have carried out several long range test and for now we have ensured you that your maximum range exceed 10 km as you can well guess you can combine Laura with power delivery allows you to develop new project that was not possible before with a simple dev kit then we have four buttons Boot and reset for esp32s fre user button that is connected to a specific GPU and then we have the Wake button is used to wake up the power ledge this turns on the ESP 3s free and all components connected to a 3.3 volt we have included this RGB lad as a status lad and the remind you it's possible to bypass the lead by removing the power from this header in this way you can reduce the power consumption of your project and these guys are the main features of objects link as you may have already guessed it's possible to buy and use only the modules for a custom applications a bit like you are used to do with the official esp32 modules but first what are the main differences of lpms 3w and esp32 the short ter answer is the purpose of the two module is different The Elms fre LW unlike the esp32 S3 module is designed for extreme low power applications and more generally for industrial application that also require the use of Lura also the lpms are perfect for energy harvesting applications I recommend reading the documentation below to take a look at all features of lpms to use lpms in your own project it's easy you just just create a new project for example on Kad and go to the official LPM GitHub repo in this way you can download the symbol and the footprint and you are ready to use the LPM for your project in addition to the documentation on our website we are adding several example designs for you for both def kit and modules we have developed variants without Laura this way the price per module is lower in general the prices of the modules you find in our shop our rer because we have manufactured a limited quantity for you to test the modules and Dev kits you can pre-order now the dev kits and the modules on our shop so guys what do you think about the new Dev kits and modules any suggestion for improving the project I look forward your feedback below and thank you guys for watching the video Until the End and see you next time [Music]
