ESP32-PICO-KIT V4
-=================
+-----------------
The smallest ESP32 development board with all the components required to connect it directly to a PC USB port, and pin headers to plug into a mini breadboard. It is equipped with ESP32-PICO-D4 module that integrates 4 MB flash memory, a crystal oscillator, filter capacitors and RF matching circuit in one single package. As result, the fully functional development board requires only a few external components that can easy fit on a 20 x 52 mm PCB including antenna, LDO, USB-UART bridge and two buttons to reset it and put into download mode.
Comparing to ESP32-PICO-KIT V3, this version has revised printout and reduced number of exposed pins. Instead of 20, only 17 header pins are populated, so V4 can fit into a mini breadboard.

ESP32-PICO-KIT V3
-=================
+-----------------
The first public release of Espressif's ESP32-PICO-D4 module on a mini development board. The board has a USB port for programming and debugging and two rows of 20 pin headers to plug into a breadboard. The ESP32-PICO-D4 module itself is small and requires only a few external components. Besides two core CPUs it integrates 4MB flash memory, a crystal oscillator and antenna matching components in one single 7 x 7 mm package. As a result the module and all the components making the complete development board fit into 20 x 52 mm PCB.

ESP-WROVER-KIT V3
-=================
+-----------------
The ESP-WROVER-KIT V3 development board has dual port USB to serial converter for programming and JTAG interface for debugging. Power supply is provided by USB interface or from standard 5 mm power supply jack. Power supply selection is done with a jumper and may be put on/off with a separate switch. This board has MicroSD card slot, 3.2” SPI LCD screen and dedicated header to connect a camera. It provides RGB diode for diagnostics. Includes 32.768 kHz XTAL for internal RTC to operate it in low power modes.
The camera header has been changed from male back to female. The board soldermask is matte black. The board on picture above has :ref:`esp-modules-and-boards-esp32-wrover` is installed.
