## Description

Built around Espressif’s ESP32-C5-WROOM-1 module, this Thing Plus board gives IoT projects a compact microcontroller platform with dual-band WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5 LE, Zigbee and Thread connectivity. It pairs a 32-bit RISC-V single-core microprocessor with 8MB Flash and 8MB PSRAM for connected projects that need flexible wireless options.The board uses the SparkFun Thing Plus form factor and is compatible with the Adafruit Feather footprint. It breaks out all 19 ESP32-C5 GPIO pins, plus Reset and Enable signals, to standard 0.1-inch spaced headers, with UART, I2C, SPI and parallel IO able to be mapped across the ESP32-C5’s flexible pin architecture. The Freebie pin and D6 are intentionally left as No Connect.For expansion and portable builds, it includes a solderless Qwiic connector, microSD card slot, USB-C for power and programming, a 2-pin JST connector for a LiPo battery, onboard battery charging and a fuel gauge. It comes pre-flashed with MicroPython firmware and also supports development in the Arduino IDE.Features:Dual-Band WiFi 6 (2.4GHz & 5GHz): Build fast, highly efficient network connections by utilising the less-crowded 5GHz band.Bluetooth® 5 LE: Designed for low-power, device-to-device communication.Zigbee & Thread (802.15.4): Supports low-bandwidth mesh networks for smart home integration.Matter-Compatible: Supports smart home device integration across leading ecosystems.Solderless Qwiic Connector: Integrates with SparkFun’s plug-and-play I2C sensors, actuators and displays.microSD Card Slot: Adds data logging and storage options to your project.Integrated Power Management: USB-C for primary power and programming, plus a 2-pin JST connector for a LiPo battery.Battery Support: Onboard MCP73831 charger and MAX17048 fuel gauge for battery-powered projects.Status LEDs: Includes a WS2812 addressable RGB LED, Red Power LEDs and a Yellow LiPo Charge LED.MicroPython: Comes pre-flashed with MicroPython firmware for quick out-of-box testing.Arduino IDE: Supports development using the Arduino IDE.Specifications:Module: ESP32-C5-WROOM-1 ModuleMicroprocessor: 32-bit RISC-V Single-Core MicroprocessorWiFi: 2.4 and 5GHz Dual Band WiFiBluetooth: Bluetooth® 5Zigbee: ZigbeeThread: Thread (802.15.4)Flash: 8MB FlashPSRAM: 8MB PSRAMGPIOs: 19 GPIOsForm factor: Thing Plus Form-FactorDimensions: 2.3" x 0.9" (not including USB-C connector stickout)Mounting holes: Four Mounting HolesPTH pins: 28 PTH pins (2 No Connect)USB connector: USB-C ConnectorBattery connector: 2-pin JST Connector for LiPo Battery (not included)Qwiic connector: 4-pin Qwiic ConnectorStorage: µSD Card SlotBattery charger: MCP73831 Battery ChargerCharge rate: 213mA@3.3VFuel gauge: MAX17048 Fuel GaugeI2C address: 0x36LEDs: LEDsRed Power LEDs: Red Power LEDsRed Power LED locations: System and PeripheralRGB LED: WS2812 RGB LEDWS2812 data in: Data In connected to IO27Charge LED: Yellow LiPo Charge LEDDocumentation is available for the schematic, KiCad files, board dimensions, hookup guide, ESP32-C5-WROOM-1 datasheet, ESP32-C5 technical reference manual and GitHub repository.
