Hey, I have an esp32 S3 and I want to use it in this project, can you please help me and tell me what should I do exactly because I don't really understand what should be done?

Due to the limited power supply capacity of the AB line, I chose M5Stack's STAMP-PICO module as an ESP32 module with no extra features such as USB-I/F and as low power consumption as possible.
This module is small in size and easy to handle because it contains only an ESP32-PICO-D4 chip, an antenna, and minimal peripheral circuitry such as a power supply regulator and an LED. The power regulator is unnecessary because I don't use it, but I still like it because it is smaller than other modules.

I haven't looked into ESP32 S3, so I don't know if it can be used for this project, but I think it can be used if it has Wi-Fi for MQTT and 2 serial lines for AB line sending/receiving and debugging, and if power consumption is not a problem.

If you want to reproduce this project, it might be faster to buy a STAMP-PICO or equivalent with an ESP32-PICO-D4 chip.
STAMP-PICO modules are available from Digi-Key or Mouser, so even if you don't have a local store that carries them, I think you can still get them.
