Esp32 devkit v1 no 5v

[Lukaskasc]

Hello i recently wanted to go from arduino to esp32 and i bought a board esp32 devkit v1 and noticed that theres no 5v pin. All of my sensors go on 5v and i wanted to ask if theres a way to power all the sensors by connecting an external 5v or something like that? or should i just buy a new board?

The devkitc manufactured by Espressif includes a 5V pin and is now available directly from Espressif, fulfilled by Amazon. They are cost-competitive, and likely have better QC than knockoffs (ie, they actually test each device).

Even if you find a way to power supply sensors with 5V you should be aware that esp32 is using 3.3V logic and you can fry it. You may have to use logic level shifter.
