## Description

The Adafruit HUZZAH32 is an ESP32-based Feather board — Adafruit's beloved form-factor standard — making it compatible with the entire ecosystem of Feather Wings (add-on boards). It packs dual-core WiFi + Bluetooth into the slim Feather shape, with the added convenience of a built-in 100mA LiPo charger.

## Key Features

- **ESP32 dual-core** — 240MHz Xtensa LX6 with 520KB SRAM for demanding tasks
- **WiFi b/g/n + Bluetooth Classic + BLE 4.2** — full wireless stack in one chip
- **Built-in LiPo charger** — MCP73831 charges a 3.7V LiPo via Micro-USB; run standalone on battery
- **Feather-compatible** — fits all Feather Wings; standard 28-pin layout
- **U.FL antenna connector** — optional external antenna for improved range
- **26 GPIO** — including 6 ADC channels, I2C, SPI, UART, and hardware PWM on most pins

## Pinout Notes

GPIO34, GPIO36, and GPIO39 are input-only (no internal pull-up/down, no output drive). A0 (GPIO26) and A1 (GPIO25) are the most capable ADC pins for general use.

## Use Cases

A versatile workhorse for WiFi-connected sensors, smart home devices, data loggers, and battery-powered wireless nodes. The Feather ecosystem means you can quickly add displays, GPS, LoRa, or sensor Wings without custom PCBs.
