What is it?

This is an upgraded version of Esp32-Stick development board with Ethernet and passive PoE support. The board supports camera and uses Esp32-S3 chip.

Why did you make it?

It was made because the original Esp32-Stick boards lacked the camera support. Moreover it was impossible to handle both the camera and the Ethernet using classic vanilla Esp32 since both peripherals require a lot of pins. So we decided to build the upgraded board around Esp32-S3, which has much more pins and W5500 SPI ethernet module.

What makes it special?

Pin-to-pin compatibility with other Esp32-Stick-Cam boards, Camera, Machine Learning examples and passive PoE support!

• Ov2640 and Ov5640 Camera support.
• 36 Gpios(17 are not used by Ethernet or the camera)
• USB Type-C
• Esp32-Stick-Poe-P-Cam has 5V output, so you can power additional peripherals.
• Esp32-Stick-Cam boards are fully programmable in Arduino and are supported in ESPHome home automation environment.
• No external USB-UART converter is required, ready for plug-and-play programming!
• All the Esp32-Stick-Cam boards have the same length and width so they can easily be replaced with one another.
• Any code written for one board is compatible with another because they share the same CPU and pinout.

Characteristics
