Inspired by our resident mermaid and fire-dancer FirePixie, this board is built for compact, high-performance LED projects.To shrink it down to just under 1 square inch, we removed high-voltage support and the built-in IR receiver while keeping essential features for WLED, ESP32, and smart LED control.Key Features:\n\nPowered via USB-C – Supports up to 5V 4A input, ideal for portable USB battery packs.\n\n4A Resetting Fuse – Protects against over-current draw.\n\nESP32 Mini Module – Built-in antenna port, dual-core 240MHz Tensilica, WiFi, and Bluetooth (LE & Classic).\n\nUSB-Serial Converter – With auto-reset for easy programming.\n\nDual 5V-Level Shifted LED Outputs – 0.1\" spaced breakout pads (compatible with optional terminal blocks).\n\nExtra GPIO Breakout – 2x3 0.1\" pads for four more GPIOs, 3V power, and ground.\n\nOnboard I2S Microphone – Ideal for audio-reactive projects.\n\nStemma QT I2C Port – Connect external sensors, OLEDs, and more.\n\nBuilt-in Indicators –\n\nUser Button on GPIO 0 + Reset Button\n\nRed LED on Pin 12\nSmall NeoPixel on Pin 18\n\n\n\nJST Port for Analog/Digital Input – Compatible with potentiometers, microphones, or external IR receivers (Pin 13).\n\nUltra-Compact Design – 1.2\" x 0.8\" (30mm x 20mm) with mounting holes, making it wearable-friendly.\nVersatile UsageWhile optimized for WLED, Sparkle Motion Mini is a fully functional ESP32 board that works with:\nArduino\nESP-IDF\nMicroPython\nCircuitPython\nAny other ESP32-compatible firmware\nImportant Notes:\n\nNo Pre-Soldered Terminal Blocks – To keep the board slim, terminal blocks are not included, but we stock compatible ones if needed. Soldering required for attachment.\n\nNo Built-in IR Receiver – The IR receiver is removed, but you can easily add one via the JST SH 3-pin connector.\nA compact, feature-rich ESP32 LED driver, perfect for wearables, small LED installations, and advanced WLED setups.","vendor":"Adafruit","product_type":"physical","in_stock":false,"options":[],"variants":[{"id":660,"title":"Default Title","sku":"AF-6160","mpn":"ADA6160","price":33.29,"compare_at_price":0.0,"on_sale":false,"in_stock":false,"available_quantity":0,"option1":"Default Title"}]}
