Adafruit AirLift – ESP32 WiFi Co-Processor Breakout Board

Give your plain ol' microcontroller project a lift with the Adafruit AirLift - a breakout board that lets you use the powerful ESP32 as a WiFi co-processor.

VIN
Power input for the AirLift ESP32 co-processor breakout. Adafruit Learn says use a 3.3V to 5VDC source capable of 250mA transmit spikes.
Type · powerVoltage · 3.3V to 5VDC input
3vo
Output from the onboard 3.3V regulator, usable for up to about 50mA for other devices.
Type · powerVoltage · 3.3V output, about 50mA available
GND
Power and logic ground.
Type · groundVoltage · 0V
SCK
SPI clock from the microcontroller to the AirLift, level shifted for 3V to 5V logic.
Type · signalVoltage · 3V to 5V logic input
MISO
SPI data from the AirLift to the microcontroller. Adafruit Learn states this is 3.3V logic out and tri-stated when not selected.
