Evaluation as usual

The ESP32 DevKitC V4 is basically identical to the other ESP32 DevKitC variants, with the main difference in its dual-antenna design.

In the picture you can see the usual DevKitC form factor and the two antennas.

As mentioned above the “DA” module is pin compatible to the standard WROOM module and the pinout of the kit is the same (here the general DevKitC pinout):
