So this started out as a prototyping board for our Badges that take the ESP32-S2, like our other prototyping boards. But it turned into so much more. As we were designing and programming it became clear that it would be a great platform for me to turn all those "dumb" Addressable RGB LED Strips I had into Smart ones, that integrated into my smart home, So I used it for that. Then I thought this would be great to put a sensor on to let me know the moisture of my tomato plants so I don't forget to water .. and so it was re-labled the IOT Prototype Board.

This board will come fully assembled with: ESP32-S2 WROVER Micro USB Port for programming and Power Programming is via a CH330N so it is easy to use with Arduino IDE

But wait, that is not all! Since the design provided for Add on Boards for the different features we will include the board we made for the Screen and Buttons. As you can see from the Pics this has a single screen and 5 buttons (on buttons included) that can be attached to the back of the board. Be cautious with the Screen as we have found there are a few different pin-outs for these screens. Ours here is pins for GND-VCC-SCL-SDA. I have found some screens that switch GND and VCC. Using one of those will not work, and will make the screen HOT (from experience).

Thank you again for Support the Badge Pirates and we will see you at the next Con.
