Getting Started
===============


This section describes how to get started with the ESP32-S2-Kaluga-1. It begins with a few introductory sections about the ESP32-S2-Kaluga-1, then Section `Start Application Development`_ provides instructions on how to do the initial hardware setup and then how to flash firmware onto the ESP32-S2-Kaluga-1.


Overview
--------

The ESP32-S2-Kaluga-1 main board is the heart of the kit. It integrates the ESP32-S2-WROVER module and all the connectors for extension boards. This board is the key tool in prototyping human-computer interaction interfaces.

The ESP32-S2-Kaluga-1 board has connectors for:

- Boards with the Extension Header (ESP-LyraT-8311A, ESP-LyraP-LCD32)
- Camera board (ESP-LyraP-CAM)
- Touch panel (ESP-LyraP-TouchA)
- LCD displays (no official extension boards yet)
- I2C devices (no official extension boards yet)

All the four extension boards are specially desgined to support the following features:

* Touch panel control
    * 14 touch sensors, three of which support distance sensing (proximity mode)
    * Supports acrylic panels up to 5 mm
    * Wet hand operation
    * Water rejection, ESP32-S2 can be configured to disable all touchpads automatically if multiple pads are simultaneously covered with water and to re-enable touchpads if the water is removed

* Audio playback
    * Connect speakers to play audio
    * Use together with the Touch panel to control audio playback and adjust volume

* LCD display
    * LCD interface (8-bit parallel RGB, 8080, and 6800 interface)

* Camera image acquisition
    * Supports OV2640 and OV3660 camera modules
    * 8-bit DVP image sensor interface (ESP32-S2 also supports 16-bit DVP image sensors, you can design it yourself)
    * Clock frequency up to 40 MHz
    * Optimized DMA transmission bandwidth for easier transmission of high-resolution images
