• Industrial Automation: Monitor and control industrial processes and machinery.
• Environmental Monitoring: Collect and transmit data from sensors measuring temperature, humidity, air quality, etc.
• Robotics: Enable wireless communication and control for robotic systems.

1. Power Supply:

   • Connect the 3V3 pin to a 3.3V power source.
   • Connect the GND pin to the ground of your circuit.

2. Programming:

   • Use a USB-to-Serial adapter to connect the ESP32-C6 SuperMini to your computer.
   • Connect the TX and RX pins of the adapter to the RX and TX pins of the ESP32-C6 SuperMini, respectively.
   • Connect the EN pin to the 3.3V power supply to enable the module.

3. GPIO Usage:

   • Connect your sensors, actuators, or other peripherals to the GPIO pins as needed.
   • Configure the GPIO pins in your code to set them as input or output.

• Voltage Levels: Ensure that all connected devices operate at 3.3V logic levels to avoid damaging the ESP32-C6 SuperMini.
• Power Consumption: Utilize the deep sleep mode to minimize power consumption in battery-powered applications.
• Antenna Placement: Ensure that the onboard antenna has a clear path for optimal Wi-Fi and Bluetooth performance.

#include <WiFi.h>

// Replace with your network credentials
const char* ssid = "your_SSID";
const char* password = "your_PASSWORD";

void setup() {
  // Initialize serial communication
  Serial.begin(115200);

  // Connect to Wi-Fi
  WiFi.begin(ssid, password);

  // Wait for connection
  while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) {
    delay(1000);
    Serial.println("Connecting to WiFi...");
  }

  // Print the IP address
  Serial.println("Connected to WiFi");
  Serial.print("IP Address: ");
  Serial.println(WiFi.localIP());
}

void loop() {
  // Your main code here
}

1. Wi-Fi Connection Issues:

   • Ensure that the SSID and password are correct.
   • Check if the Wi-Fi network is within range.
   • Verify that the antenna is not obstructed.

2. Power Supply Problems:

   • Ensure that the power supply provides a stable 3.3V.
   • Check for loose connections or damaged wires.

3. Programming Errors:

   • Verify that the correct board and port are selected in the Arduino IDE.
   • Ensure that the USB-to-Serial adapter is properly connected.

• Reset the Module: If the module is unresponsive, try resetting it by briefly disconnecting and reconnecting the EN pin.
• Check Serial Monitor: Use the Serial Monitor in the Arduino IDE to view debug messages and identify issues.
• Update Firmware: Ensure that the ESP32-C6 SuperMini has the latest firmware version installed.

By following this documentation, users can effectively integrate the ESP32-C6 SuperMini into their projects, leveraging its powerful features for a wide range of applications.
