SparkFun Qwiic Pocket Development Board - ESP32-C6

The SparkFun ESP32-C6 Qwiic Pocket Development Board fits perfectly within the 2.54 cm x 2.54 cm Qwiic Standard Size, offering a compact yet powerful wireless development platform. It features the ESP32-C6 Mini-1 module, USB-C connector, Qwiic connector, 2-pin JST battery connector with an on-board charging circuit, and two buttons for Reset and Boot. Optimized for power efficiency, this board consumes approximately 14µA in Deep Sleep mode, making it ideal for remote, battery-powered applications.

Thanks to its RISC-V single-core processor with 4 MB flash memory and integrated wireless stack, the ESP32-C6 SoC supports 2.4 GHz WiFi 6, Bluetooth® 5.3, Zigbee, and Thread (802.15.4). This board includes various peripheral options such as SPI, UART, LPUART, I²C, I²S, LED PWM, USB Serial/JTAG controller, and ADC. Although only eight GPIO pins are broken out due to the board's size, these include four ADC-compatible pins, Low Power and Standard UART, and an additional two GPIO pins, ensuring a versatile range of applications.

The Qwiic Connect System enhances prototyping by reducing error-prone wiring. Using a common 1 mm pitch, 4-pin JST connector, Qwiic-enabled boards minimize required PCB space and ensure polarized connections, preventing incorrect hookups. This ecosystem of I2C sensors, actuators, shields, and cables accelerates development and simplifies integration.
