CoreS3 Thread BR

SKU:K149

Description

CoreS3 Thread BR is a Thread Border Router kit. The core components consist of the CoreS3 controller and the Module Gateway H2 wireless module. The CoreS3 serves as the control core of the border router, running user applications and the OpenThread protocol stack. The CoreS3 controller uses the ESP32-S3 SoC, with an onboard memory configuration of 16MB Flash and 8MB PSRAM. It supports 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi and integrates a 2.0" touch LCD display, camera, microphone, speaker, RTC, six-axis motion sensor, and other rich peripherals. The Module Gateway H2 module integrates the ESP32-H2-MINI-1 module and supports IEEE 802.15.4 wireless communication. It acts as an OpenThread Radio Co-Processor (RCP), providing Thread packet forwarding functionality for the CoreS3 main controller. CoreS3 Thread BR is suitable for applications such as smart homes, environmental monitoring, sensor networks, and low-power wireless communication nodes, helping developers quickly perform prototype verification and product development.
