Description
ESP32 Wi-Fi USB Type-C is
The ESP32 is a microcontroller board developed by Espressif Systems, which is an enhanced version of the ESP8266, with more capabilities such as:
-
Built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth (BLE)
-
More speed and RAM
-
Better support for multi-threading and complex tasks.
-
You can use it to program through Arduino IDE, MicroPython, or ESP-IDF.
Nowadays, newer ESP32 boards come with USB Type-C ports for easy plugging in, easier to use than Micro USB and more durable.

Using ESP32
✅ Suitable for work:
-
IoT (Internet of Things) such as controlling devices via Wi-Fi
-
Smart Home (turn on/off lights, measure temperature, control via mobile phone)
-
Bluetooth communication, such as sending and receiving data with mobile phones
-
ESP-NOW / MQTT / HTTP / WebSocket all work.
-
Connect to Cloud such as Firebase, LINE Notify, Blynk, Telegram, etc.
✅ Popular usage examples:
-
Measure temperature and humidity with DHT11/DHT22 and send it to the web.
-
Control lights/relays via mobile app or web server
-
Connect OLED/LED display wirelessly
-
Use as a Wi-Fi Hotspot or Web Server
-
Make an AI training system (some models have Camera + TensorFlow Lite)
Example code to open Wi-Fi Web Server on ESP32:
#include <WiFi.h>
const char* ssid = "WiFi name";
const char* password = "password";
WiFiServer server(80);
void setup() {
Serial.begin(115200);
WiFi.begin(ssid, password);
while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) {
delay(500);
Serial.print(".");
}
Serial.println("\nConnected successfully: ");
Serial.println(WiFi.localIP());
server.begin();
}
void loop() {
WiFiClient client = server.available();
if (client) {
client.println("HTTP/1.1 200 OK");
client.println("Content-Type: text/html");
client.println();
client.println("<h2>Hello from ESP32!</h2>");
delay(1000);
}
}
📌 Advantages of the USB Type-C model:
-
Easy to insert, no need to worry about turning it inside out.
-
Good current support
-
The cable can be used with new mobile phones.
