FeatherS3[D] combines the previous FeatherS3 and FeatherS3 uFL boards into a single board, giving you more options and no need to pick one or the other. It also replaces the VBAT ADC sense pin with an I2C battery fuel gauge.
FeatherS3[D] has full drop-in compatibility with the previous FeatherS3 versions, though we did need to move a few things around to fit everything in and still allow for a solid, well-tuned RF layout.
FeatherS3[D] includes an onboard antenna and a u.FL connector for an external antenna on the same board, and you can switch which antenna to use via the RF switch on the fly from inside your code!
The onboard antenna is selected by default, so you never need to worry about the RF switch being in a bad state, or the ESP32-S3 getting damaged if you forget to plug in an external antenna
Ships with a set of male headers you can solder on if required.
The FeatherS3[D] ships with the latest version of CircuitPython that supports the ESP32-S3. It also ships with the UF2 bootloader, so you can easily update your FeatherS3[D] with the latest CircuitPython firmware, whenever you desire.
As newer versions of CircuitPython are released, you are able to update as you require from ciruitpython.org
There is also ESP-IDF, MicroPython and Arduino support. Visit the FeatherS3 product page for more details.

All products purchased on this store ship directly from me here in Melbourne, Australia.
Orders are processed daily and usually go out the same day they are paid for - allowing for time zone differences of course.
Finally, postage rates suck, sorry :( I'm embarrassed by how much it costs to ship items overseas since COVID, and I do my best to improve rates where I can.
Postage delivery times, if stated, are based on current expectations from Australia Post and may vary.
Please keep in mind that there are still occasional postage delays, including flights out of Australia and inbound customs processing into many countries.
