SparkFun Thing Plus - DA16200
Discontinued
The SparkFun Thing Plus DA16200 is an ultra-low-power Wi-Fi development board built around the Dialog (Renesas) DA16200MOD system-on-chip. It integrates a complete 802.11b/g/n radio, baseband processor, MAC, networking stack, and Arm Cortex-M4F application processor on a single die — no external network processor or microcontroller required.
In the Feather-compatible Thing Plus form factor, the board includes a USB-C connector, Qwiic I²C connector, LiPo battery connector with onboard charging, and 28 PTH pins. Three ultra-low-power sleep modes with current draws as low as 3.5 µA make it well suited for battery-powered IoT applications.
