if this list looks good or if you would make any adjustments? They need to be 3.3V compatible because these will be connected to an ESP32-s3. Some examples of past projects are solar tracker, water rockets, mars rover, home weather station.

These are the expansion 'shields' I'm thinking to start with but any tips on brands, example coding, and example student projects would be great too.

Audio Shield

I2S Amplifier
Microphone
Speaker (Brands for quality audio on a PCB?)

External IO Shield

Servos (Reliable brands for schools?)
JST (I2C)
LCD (any favourites?)
Relays (Common brands?)

Motor Shield

Dual Motor Driver
Robot Servo headers
Stepper Driver

Wireless Comms Shield

GPS (on UART pins)
LoRa/Low Band width Radio
Any others?

I've already got RTC, Charging, Power, Memory and Motion sensing covered, but any other ideas would be great.

Cheers

[link] [comments]13:T4e7,I'm wanting some ideas for expansion modules for an ESP-S3 board running Arduino to help my students make projects. I'm an engineering teacher but want to know what other people are using, in particular what 'shields' or modules with inputs and outputs have you found are the best for robotics, drones & rockets connected to Arduino platforms? Can you suggest if this list looks good or if you would make any adjustments? They need to be 3.3V compatible because these will be connected to an ESP32-s3. Some examples of past projects are
