M5Stack AtomS3 Lite

The M5Stack AtomS3 Lite is an ultra-compact development board based on the ESP32-S3 (ESP32-S3FN8) microcontroller. Measuring just 24x24mm, it packs serious capability into a tiny form factor — without a display, keeping costs down and power consumption minimal.

Key Features

  • ESP32-S3 dual-core Xtensa LX7 processor at 240MHz
  • 8MB Flash for ample firmware and data storage
  • WiFi 802.11 b/g/n (2.4GHz) + Bluetooth LE 5.0
  • Ultra-compact 24x24mm form factor
  • Grove port for easy sensor and actuator connectivity
  • USB-C for power and programming
  • 1x RGB LED (WS2812) for status indication
  • 1x Programmable button for user input
  • 6x GPIO pins exposed for expansion

Design Philosophy

The AtomS3 Lite strips away the display found on the AtomS3, resulting in a lower-cost, lower-power variant that's ideal for headless IoT deployments. The Grove connector makes it easy to add sensors, displays, or other peripherals from the M5Stack ecosystem.
