5. ការដំឡើងដំបូង
5.1. Pin Header Assembly
The included pin headers are typically not pre-soldered. You will need to solder them to the board if you intend to use it on a breadboard or with jumper wires. Ensure proper alignment before soldering.
៣.១.១. ការដំឡើងកម្មវិធីបញ្ជា
Connect the ESP32-C3 Mini board to your computer using a USB-C cable. Most modern operating systems will automatically install the necessary USB-to-Serial drivers. If the board is not recognized, you may need to manually install drivers for the USB-to-Serial chip (often CH340 or CP210x, though the ESP32-C3 typically uses its internal USB-JTAG).
5.3. ការរៀបចំបរិស្ថានអភិវឌ្ឍន៍
To program the ESP32-C3 Mini, you will need a suitable development environment. Popular choices include:
- Arduino IDE៖ Install the ESP32 board package through the Boards Manager. Select "ESP32C3 Dev Module" as your board.
- Espressif IDF: For more advanced development, use Espressif's official IoT Development Framework.
- MicroPython៖ Flash MicroPython firmware to program the board using Python.
Refer to the official documentation for your chosen development environment for detailed installation and configuration instructions.

6. ប្រតិបត្តិការ
6.1. Powering the Board
The board can be powered via the USB-C port. Alternatively, an external power supply (3.3V to 6V) can be connected to the 5V and GND pins. សំខាន់៖ When using an external power supply, disconnect the USB-C cable to avoid conflicts and potential damage.
6.2. របៀបសរសេរកម្មវិធី
To upload new firmware, the board typically needs to be in programming mode. This is usually achieved by:
- ភ្ជាប់បន្ទះនេះទៅកុំព្យូទ័ររបស់អ្នកតាមរយៈ USB-C។
- ចុចឱ្យជាប់ BOOT ប៊ូតុង។
- ពេលកាន់ BOOT, briefly press and release the RST ប៊ូតុង។
- ដោះលែង BOOT button. The board is now in programming mode.
After uploading, press the RST button to exit programming mode and run your new code.

7. ការដោះស្រាយបញ្ហា
7.1. Board Not Recognized / Boot Loop
If the board is not recognized by your computer or enters a continuous boot loop upon connection, it might be stuck in an incorrect state. Follow these steps to enter programming mode:
- Ensure the board is connected via USB-C.
- ចុចឱ្យជាប់ BOOT ប៊ូតុង។
- ពេលកាន់ BOOT, ចុចនិងដោះលែង RST ប៊ូតុង។
- ដោះលែង BOOT ប៊ូតុង។
Your computer should now recognize the board, and you can proceed with flashing firmware. After flashing, press RST to run the new program.
7.2. Upload Errors
If you encounter upload errors, verify the following:
- Correct board selected in your IDE (e.g., "ESP32C3 Dev Module").
- Correct COM port selected.
- Board is in programming mode (refer to section 6.2).
- USB-C cable is data-capable (some cables are charge-only).
7.3. Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Connectivity Issues
Ensure your code correctly initializes and uses the Wi-Fi/Bluetooth modules. Check antenna connections if applicable (this board has an integrated antenna). Test in close proximity to your router or Bluetooth device to rule out range issues.
