Description

The M5Stack M5StampS3 is a compact ESP32-S3 module for embedded products, wireless controllers, smart devices, and PCB-level IoT development. This shared product page covers two header-pin variants: M5StampS3 PIN1.27 with SKU M5-S007-PIN127 and M5StampS3 PIN2.54 with SKU M5-S007-PIN254.

Both M5Stack M5StampS3 variants use the ESP32-S3FN8 with an Xtensa 32-bit LX7 dual-core processor up to 240MHz, 8MB Flash, 2.4GHz Wi-Fi, 23 GPIO resources, a programmable physical button, and a WS2812B-2020 programmable RGB LED. The same ESP32-S3 module core can be used as a compact IoT controller, Wi-Fi IoT module, embedded development module, smart home node, wearable controller, or small wireless product controller.

The difference between the variants is the header pin pitch. Choose M5-S007-PIN127 or M5StampS3 PIN1.27 for dense PCB integration, and choose M5-S007-PIN254 or M5StampS3 PIN2.54 for easier manual wiring, breadboard-style prototyping, and ESP32-S3 development board workflows that benefit from larger 2.54mm spacing.

For teams standardizing on the M5Stack M5StampS3 ESP32-S3 module, both pin variants keep the same 8MB Flash, 23 GPIO layout, Wi-Fi connectivity, programmable button, RGB LED, and compact 26 x 18 x 4.6mm footprint. This makes the M5Stack M5StampS3 suitable for moving from prototype wiring to a tighter production PCB without changing the module family.

Product List

Other Content

Variant selection note: The 1.27mm and 2.54mm variants share the same M5Stack M5StampS3 ESP32-S3 module core. Select M5-S007-PIN127 for a dense embedded development module layout, or select M5-S007-PIN254 when the compact IoT controller needs easier hand wiring.

Integration note: Confirm antenna clearance, USB access, button access, LED visibility, GPIO mapping, power supply, and programming method before designing the M5Stack M5StampS3 into a custom board.

Pin pitch note: M5StampS3 PIN1.27 is better for dense board layouts, while M5StampS3 PIN2.54 is easier for manual wiring and common prototyping headers.

Software note: Validate firmware, boot mode, flash image, GPIO assignments, ESP32-S3 peripheral libraries, and Wi-Fi IoT module behavior before moving from prototype to production hardware.

Development note: The M5Stack M5StampS3 can serve as a small ESP32-S3 development board alternative when the project needs 8MB Flash, 23 GPIO, Wi-Fi, a button, and RGB LED in a module format.
