Adafruit Particle Xenon - nRF52840 with BLE and Mesh

The Particle Xenon serves as a versatile piece in your mesh network puzzle. This low-cost mesh-enabled development board, based on the robust Nordic nRF52840 BLE Cortex M4, combines substantial Flash, RAM, and native USB support for a wide range of IoT applications. Its built-in battery charging circuitry ensures swift setup with a Li-Poly battery, enhancing connectivity for sensors, motors, and more.

Acting as either a standalone endpoint or network repeater, the Xenon integrates seamlessly with Particle's Device Cloud when paired with an Argon or Boron gateway. Although Particle Mesh support is being deprecated, the Xenon retains its usefulness with potential reprogramming to support CircuitPython or Arduino compatibility.

This board's compatibility with the Feather ecosystem allows users to tap into a broad collection of FeatherWings to expand functionality. While Particle hardware harmonizes with the Device Cloud out-of-the-box, it's important to verify library support for specific hardware in your projects.
