PCBWAY make high quality prototyping PCBs for people all over the world. Try it for your self and get 10 PCBs for just $5 at PCBWAY with very great quality, Thanks PCBWAY. The ESP32 IoT Starter Kit that I developed in this project uses PCBWAY PCB services. In this instructable, I will show you how to build ESP32 IoT Starter Kit a shield that will help you learn and make projects ESP32 easier and faster. Let's get started!

Here are the components that you will need to make ESP32 IoT Starter Kit:

• 1 x PCB ESP32 IoT Starter Kit (PCBWay)
• 1 x ESP32 DEVKIT V1 board 30 pin
• 1 x Micro SD adapter module

• 1 x Male Header 7pin, 5pin, 4pin, 3pin & 2pin
• 1 x Double Male Header 4 pin & 2 pin
• 10 x Jumper cap

To make this project you need to order a prototype PCB on PCBWAY. How to order is very easy and you will get 10 Pcs PCB for $5 with very great PCB quality.

Step to Order:

1. SignUp/Log in on pcbway.com

2. Open this PCB project link ESP32 IoT Starter Kit

3. Set PCB order options: color and select 10 pieces.

4. Click Add to cart.

5. Wait moment for PCB review, then Click Check Out.

Attach the trough hole components on the PCB following the pictures and symbols on the PCB, for details you can follow step by step in the video.

Solder all the component legs on the back of the PCB, for details you can follow step by step in the video.

After finish solder, cut all the long legs of the component wire.

Attach the ESP32 module into the female header socket 2 x 15 pin.

Now, time to begin learn basic IoT use ESP32 IoT Starter Kit boards, is very easy just following the more than 110 tutorial on randomnerdtutorials.com/projects-esp32.

On randomtnerdtutorial projects-esp32 under Displays topic select the tutorial OLED Temperature. This tutorial will use DHT11 and OLED display on Starter Kit board, you will need one wire jumper female to female 20cm to connecting GPIO14 to DHT11 follow the schematics. Upload sample sketch to ESP32 board then see whats happen.

Next, you can try all the tutorials at randomnerdtutorial esp32 from introduction to interesting cloud projects.

You need some additional parts to complete all the exercises in the tutorial: the dupont jumper cable female to female 10cm, servo motor SG90 and and micro USB cables.
