The ESP Terminal from Elecrow is a handheld device based on the ESP32-S3-WROOM Wi-Fi + Bluetooth LE microcontroller. The compact device includes multiple terminal connectors for sensors and LiPo battery support.

The ESP32 Terminal is slightly larger than the BPI-Centi-S3 based on a similar ESP32 module.
