# IoT Carrier v0.1
## Overview
IoT Carrier v0.1 is a modular sensing platform designed to support multiple ESP32 development boards through a standardized hardware interface.
The carrier board integrates power management, analog sensor inputs, I²C communication interfaces, and dedicated connectors for environmental sensing applications.
The platform allows different ESP32 boards to be exchanged without hardware redesign, simplifying prototyping, firmware development, and testing.

## Programming Power Supply Note
* Power the ESP32 board only through its own USB programming connector.
* The USB-C connector on the IoT Carrier PCB is **power only** and does not support data communication.
* Disconnect the Li-Po battery and any external power source before firmware upload.
* Use a USB cable that supports **data communication**.
* Select the correct ESP32 board profile and COM port in the Arduino IDE.
