Arduino Cloud extends ESP32 support to S2/S3/C3 devices

Arduino Cloud is Arduino’s integrated platform for developing, deploying and managing IoT devices in an easy way. It supports a wide list of hardware, including not only Arduino boards, but also ESP32 and ESP8266 based boards. Arduino is committed to expanding this list of devices, and as a result of this effort, the ESP32-S2, S3, and C3 chipset families have been added to the list of supported devices.

One cloud platform to rule them all

Similar to Arduino hardware, ESP32 devices are among the most widely used processors in the IoT world due to their low cost, integration, and high performance. Both platforms have become the de facto standard for hobbyists and developers looking to build their own small home appliances, but have also grown in popularity among other industrial and professional fields. It’s so easy to get started with them!

Also you can use the same Arduino IDE for programming Arduino and ESP32 boards. And you can even reuse your code and sketches!

But what if I want to go a step further and control my devices remotely? This is what Arduino Cloud is intended for. It is an online platform that allows you to:

• to develop your software online with Web editor and store your sketches in the cloud
• to deploy and manage your devices with IoT Cloud allowing you to create custom dashboards that can be accessed remotely from your browser or mobile app

All this with just an integrated unique platform and taking advantage of Arduino’s rich collection of libraries, examples and tutorials that help developers get up to speed with minimal effort.

Three new varieties of ESP32 supported by Arduino Cloud

The three new ESP32 platforms now supported by Arduino Cloud are the popular ESP32-S2, S3 and C3.

The ESP32-S2 is a highly integrated, low-power, single-core WiFi microcontroller SoC designed to be secure and cost-effective, with high performance and a rich set of IO capabilities.

The ESP32-S3 is a dual-core XTensa LX7 MCU capable of running at 240 MHz. Apart from its 512 KB of internal SRAM, it also comes with integrated 2.4 GHz, 802.11 b/g/n WiFi and Bluetooth 5 (LE) connectivity that provides long distance support. It has 45 programmable GPIOs and supports a wide range of peripherals. The ESP32-S3 supports larger, high-speed octal SPI flash memory and PSRAM with configurable data and instruction cache.

The ESP32-C3 is a cost-effective RISC-V MCU with WiFi and Bluetooth 5 (LE) connectivity for secure IoT applications.
