Ghost32

Ghost32 is an all-in-one development board that combines the power of the RP2350 and ESP32-S3 on a single PCB, with dual onboard motor controller chips. It’s designed for robotics, automation, and advanced embedded projects where you want real-time control and wireless capability without extra boards.

Features

• Dual MCU Setup

  • RP2350 – real-time control, low-latency tasks, motor timing, and peripherals
  • ESP32-S3 – Wi-Fi + Bluetooth, USB, UI, OTA updates, and high-level logic

• 2× Motor Controller Chips (On-Board)

  • Drive four DC motors
  • No external motor driver board needed
  • Ideal for robots, sliders, actuators, and mechatronics

• Single-Board Solution

  • No stacking boards or messy wiring
  • Clean power distribution and signal routing

• Wireless Ready

  • Wi-Fi and Bluetooth via ESP32-S3
  • Perfect for web dashboards, remote control, and telemetry

• Developer Friendly

  • USB programming
  • GPIO broken out for expansion
  • Designed for hacking, not just demos

Why Ghost32?

Most devboards force you to choose between real-time performance or connectivity. Ghost32 gives you both:

• RP2350 handles timing-critical motor control
• ESP32-S3 handles networking, UI, and logic
• Motor drivers are already on the board

Less wiring. Less latency. More control.

Use Cases

• Battle bots & roboticstics
• Motorized sliders & camera rigsrigs
• Smart actuators
• Wireless CNC / motion systems
• IoT devices with moving parts

MCU Communication

The RP2350 and ESP32-S3 can communicate over:

• Serial, RX and TX

This allows a clean split between low-level control and high-level logic.
