question here, if i buy a 3pcs pack of xiao esp32s3, https://www.seeedstudio.com/Seeed-Studio-XIAO-ESP32S3-3PCS-p-5919.html am i gonna be able to add the ‘sense part’ afterward ? id just buy the connector and solder it
Hi there,
UNFORTUNATELY NOT!! C’mon seeed Give us SKU# with the B2B connector on the darn thing… Really !
I don’t need or want extra cameras and Sd readers laying around just to get the B2B connector on the Sense version of the S3.
My MORE i/O thread shows the expansion boards users can make and USE if they have the mating connector.
DING DING…

i dont understand why it cannot work ? the pinout is the same, i just have to add the b2b connector ?
Hi yes,
I wanted them to do it…LOL

i dont understand man. you talk cryptic to me 
could you elaborate on why this doesnt work ?
the B2B is not populated… I dont think a human person could solder the connector, between tthe small size and melting the plastic… not worth the trouble
Hi there,
Sorry man my English is not so good…
YOU can solder your own SURE thing~! You can. Order the three pack and order (3) B2B (board to Board connectors) and have at it. I was saying that Seeed Should provide a SKU number (Stock Keeping Unit) number we can purchase, One that has it already on there. Otherwise you have to buy the Sense version current SKU number and ditch the extra Camera,SD card piece … YOU feel Me? 
Is that clearer?

i sent this message to Kevin… I know we have talked about this before… THERE IS NO REASON ON EARTH to have an unpopulated module… they should just change it and be done… but they never listen to what we are saying! … so many times i just want to say “what the hell is wrong with yall…” what da?

Was just searching the SEEED site and haven’t found the “sense” part alone. Does it at all exist?
BTW, side question: the nrf Sense has IMU and Mic, and the ESP32 Sense version the Mic and Camera? Why the decided to skip IMU for ESP32 version?

That is a GREAT question Sir

They will do it it just takes time for the Ship to change course… 
I would assume it is a space problem… room on the board

totally ! thanks. the thing is, im planning to use the ‘sense part’ later in my developpement but right now, as im prototyping and burning a couple of them might as well reduce the price of my developpement by using the same thing without the camera
yeah. i was searching for it as well. But is there anybody that reversed engineered it ?
probably :):):):):):) neeeded 20characters sorry
so technically, if i dont use the camera board and could get 12more IO’s with your board ?
Hi there
Indeed… More I/O . The PITA was finding the B2B but it’s all there, anyone can order it from the PCB house or have them made. the BOM is on the Link or in the file. Jump on Easy EDA or JLPCB and use the part number that’s listed to look it up. Seeed should make an IMU version with the SD. or a Multi-Sensor snap on B2B ish board.
