If you already own a PiShock or another ESP32, please check the Boards compatibility list.
ESP32-S3
We recommend the ESP32-S3
chip, specifically the N16R8
variant for its 16 MiB of flash. The Wemos Lolin S3 board satisfies all these criteria.
Requirements for the ESP are: - Needs to be a ESP32 specifically. Not a 8266 or other! - 4MB or more of flash
