Start with these
4 pins with no boot or system involvementFreely assignable - no strapping, flash, USB or JTAG duties. Ideal first picks for buttons, sensors and LEDs.
Fine - with a little care
9 pins · 9 things to knowSCLGPIO2 Strapping pin, but it does not select the boot mode - GPIO9 does. Espressif only recommend pulling it up against reset-time glitches. Floating by default. Strapping
A strapping pin: Espressif recommend an external pull-up against glitches at reset, so avoid heavy capacitive loads or a strong low drive here. It does not put the chip into download mode (that is GPIO9).
SCKGPIO4 Bootstrapping pin; JTAG TMS; Flash data (FSPIHD in internal-flash models) JTAG
Used during boot; JTAG TMS for debugging; acts as Quad-SPI flash IO (hold data line) in internal-flash variants
MISOGPIO5 Bootstrapping pin; JTAG TDI; Flash data (FSPIWP in internal-flash models) JTAG
Used during boot; JTAG TDI for debugging; acts as Quad-SPI flash IO (write-protect data line) in internal-flash variants
MOSIGPIO6 Bootstrapping pin; JTAG TCK; Flash clock (FSPICLK in internal-flash models) JTAG
Used during boot; JTAG TCK for debugging; provides flash clock in internal-flash variants
SSGPIO7 Bootstrapping pin; JTAG TDO; Flash data (FSPID in internal-flash models) JTAG
Used during boot; JTAG TDO for debugging; acts as Quad-SPI flash IO (data line) in internal-flash variants
SDAGPIO8 Bootstrapping pin (needs HIGH at reset); also gates ROM boot message printing (UART_PRINT_CONTROL efuse) Strapping
Must be held high during reset (if low, UART flashing/boot may not work)
GPKEYGPIO9 Bootstrapping pin; selects boot mode (HIGH = SPI flash boot, LOW = UART download) Strapping
Controls boot mode on reset (HIGH for normal flash boot, LOW enters serial download mode)
RXGPIO20 UART0 RXD (default serial input) UART
Used as UART0 receive (console/bootloader); repurposing may disable serial programming and debug logs
TXGPIO21 UART0 TXD (default serial output) UART
Used as UART0 transmit (console/bootloader); repurposing may disable serial console output and printing
All 13 pins on the Deneyap Kart G are usable GPIO, spaced at the standard 2.54 mm pitch.
Peripheral wiring is straightforward: I²C is mapped to SDA on GPIO8 and SCL on GPIO2; the SPI bus (MOSI, MISO, SCK, SS) is broken out in full; TX/RX on GPIO21 and GPIO20 cover serial logging and flashing.
Beyond plain digital I/O you get 6 ADC-capable pins for sensors and battery monitoring.
9 of the exposed pins carry boot-time or system duties on the ESP32-C3 (SCL, SCK, MISO and 6 more) - check the guidance above before wiring anything to them. A0, A1, A2 and LED_BUILTIN are free of any such role - the safest first picks.

About this board
Inside sits the ESP32-C3 - a single-core RISC-V and the budget low-power pick.
Around the module: an addressable RGB LED (GPIO10) and Reset/GPKEY buttons.
It flashes over native USB - no serial-converter driver needed, which isn't a given among ESP32-C3 boards.
- Li-Po battery connector with on/off switch
- 11 sewable pads (6 signal, 5 power) for wearables
