Freely assignable - no strapping, flash, USB or JTAG duties. Ideal first picks for buttons, sensors and LEDs.

PinLabelWhat to knowRole
IO47SPICLK_POnly the 1.8 V octal parts (ESP32-S3R8V, ESP32-S3R16V) run the differential memory clock here, and on those the pin works at 1.8 V instead of 3.3 V. On the common 3.3 V modules it is a normal GPIO - several devkits drive their RGB LED from GPIO48.Other
IO48SPICLK_NOnly the 1.8 V octal parts (ESP32-S3R8V, ESP32-S3R16V) run the differential memory clock here, and on those the pin works at 1.8 V instead of 3.3 V. On the common 3.3 V modules it is a normal GPIO - several devkits drive their RGB LED from GPIO48.Other
IO45GPIO45Determines flash/PSRAM power voltage (3.3 V vs 1.8 V) at boot. Must match hardware configuration; using as GPIO can upset flash supply setting.Strapping
IO39MTCK (GPIO39)Default JTAG TCK - keep it free if you debug over JTAG. It is not a flash or PSRAM line on standard modules: those sit on GPIO26-37.Other
IO40MTDO (GPIO40)Default JTAG TDO output for debugging. Using it as GPIO will interfere with JTAG debugging functionality.Other
IO41MTDI (GPIO41)Default JTAG TDI input for debugging. Should be reserved for JTAG or left unused if JTAG is to remain available.Other
IO42MTMS (GPIO42)Default JTAG TMS signal for debugging. Using this pin for other purposes will disable the JTAG interface (unless JTAG is rerouted to USB).Other

Only if you know the tricks

IO20USB_D+By default connected to the on-chip USB Serial/JTAG controller. Using it as general GPIO without reconfiguring IO MUX will interfere with USB functionality.USB

These are recommendations, not hard rules - with the right pull-ups, timing and boot-state awareness most pins can be made to work. When in doubt, start green.

Across 24 pins, the CYD ESP32-1732S019 exposes 20 GPIO plus 3V3, GND and 5V for power.

Beyond plain digital I/O you get 11 ADC-capable pins for sensors and battery monitoring and 5 capacitive-touch inputs.

7 of the exposed pins carry boot-time or system duties on the ESP32-S3 (IO47, IO48, IO45 and 4 more) - check the guidance above before wiring anything to them. IO18, IO17, IO16, IO15 and 7 more are free of any such role - the safest first picks.

Getting started

flash your first firmware in ~2 minutes
Tool:
1
Connect over USB
Install your USB-serial driver (CH340 / CP210x) if no port appears. Not detected? Hold BOOT while plugging in.
2
Match & flash
Set the Tools options shown, then click Upload.
3
Verify it runs
GPIO18 toggles - wire an LED and resistor to it, or change the pin to your board's own LED.

The CYD ESP32-1732S019 uses esptool_py for firmware uploads, esp_ota for over-the-air (OTA) updates. Flash mode is DIO with QIO boot mode. The maximum sketch size is 3 MB with 320 KB available for data.

About this board

Inside sits the ESP32-S3 - a dual-core Xtensa with vector extensions suited to AI workloads. Sibling CYD boards cover the ESP32-C3 and ESP32, so you can change radios or horsepower without changing the footprint.

At $10.49 it's cheaper than most CYD boards, which usually run around $22.

Around the module: 8MB (OPI) PSRAM, an IPS LCD 1.9" 170x320 display, a microSD slot and Reset/Boot buttons.

  • A capacitive touch variant (ESP32-1732S019C, GT911) is also available
