Why it belongs on the bench

Arduino Nano ESP32 packages an ESP32-S3-based u-blox NORA-W106 module in the compact Nano form factor, with USB-C, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth LE. It supports both Arduino sketches and MicroPython, making it a fit for the catalogue’s interactive MicroPython setup and ESP32 Matter endpoint examples. Switching to MicroPython replaces the currently installed firmware rather than adding a second runtime, and Arduino labels its installer experimental. Pin numbering also differs between Arduino and MicroPython workflows, so examples must follow Arduino’s Nano-specific mapping. Matter projects additionally require a compatible core, partition layout and controller rather than working from hardware alone.
