# ESP32 Serial Swiss Army Knife
Universal wireless serial adaptor firmware for the ESP32-S3.
## Initial hardware target
- ESP32-S3-DevKitC-1
- ESP32-S3-WROOM-1-N16R8 module
- 16 MB flash
- 8 MB octal PSRAM
The initial smoke-test firmware continuously sweeps the onboard addressable RGB LED through the color wheel at reduced brightness. The official ESP32-S3-DevKitC-1 v1.0 uses GPIO48 for the LED data signal, while official v1.1 boards use GPIO38. Compatible boards and clones may vary.
## Build
```sh
pio run
```
## Upload and monitor
Connect the board's USB-to-UART port, then run:
```sh
pio run --target upload
pio device monitor
```
The application logs its startup, detected PSRAM size, and configured RGB LED GPIO at 115200 baud. Expected output includes:
```text
ESP32-S3 build-chain smoke test started
PSRAM initialized: 8388608 bytes
Sweeping the onboard RGB LED on GPIO48
```
If the firmware runs but the RGB LED remains dark, verify the board revision. The project defaults to GPIO48, commonly used by DevKitC-compatible boards and official v1.0 boards. For an official v1.1 board — or another board wired that way — change `RGB_LED_GPIO` in `platformio.ini` from `48` to `38`, rebuild, and upload again.
