Seeed XIAO ESP32C3
- Brands Seeedstudio Code: SEEED-XIAO-ESP32 MPN: 113991054
Seeed Studio XIAO Series are diminutive development boards, sharing a similar hardware structure, where the size is literally thumb-sized. The code name "XIAO" here represents its half feature "Tiny", and the other half will be "Puissant".
Seeed Studio XIAO ESP32C3 adopts new RISC-V architecture, supporting both Wi-Fi and BLE wireless connectivities. For Internet of Things applications, you will find it is flexible and suitable for all kinds of IoT scenarios.
Note: In Cytron, we already have 3 XIAO products based on different solutions in the XIAO family. To help you better understand the differences and choose the most suitable part for your projects, please refer to the Seeed Studio XIAO Series Page.
Seeed Studio XIAO ESP32C3 has equipped a highly-integrated ESP32-C3 chip, built around a 32-bit RISC-V chip processor with a four-stage pipeline that operates at up to 160 MHz.
The board equips highly-integrated ESP32-C3 SoC. The chip has been installed with a complete 2.4GHz Wi-Fi subsystem which means it supports Station mode, SoftAP mode, SoftAP & Station mode, and promiscuous mode for multiple Wi-Fi applications. It works under an ultra-low power state, also supporting features of Bluetooth 5 and Bluetooth mesh. There are 400 KB SRAM & 4 MB Flash on the chip, allowing for more programming space, and bringing more possibilities to the IoT control scenarios.
Being a number to the Seeed Studio XIAO family, the board deservedly maintains the classic thumb-sized form-factor design and elegant productization of single-sided components mounting. Meanwhile, it has equipped with a battery charge chip and integrated circuit for enhancing its ability to carry. This board comes included with an external antenna to increase the signal strength for wireless applications. There are 11 digital I/O that can be used as PWM pins and 4 analog i/o that can be used as ADC pins. It supports UART, IIC, and SPI serial communication ports, also including IIS (Internet Information Services). Utilizing its small and exquisite hardware design and the powerful onboard chip, programming by Arduino, it will offer more ability to wearable and portable devices or other applications.
Note: It will be a little hard to connect the antenna for the first time using the board. Please connect the antenna in a vertical direction and do not drag it in a horizontal direction.
Applications:
Application 1: Smart Private Garage
Materials
Description
This is a peer-to-peer WiFi communication application, since two XIAOs detect each other via Wifi, the garage door will open or keep opening, and vice versa.
Improvement
It is nice to add an ultrasonic distance sensor to measure the car-to-door distance and an OLED screen to check the status of the garage.
Application 2: Remote Forest Tracker
Materials
Description
Thanks to the tiny size of the XIAO series, it is suitable to make the wearable devices, such as a small pet trackers. This wearable device can be used as a simple GPS-Tracker which will lock its current location and publish other data via LoRa.
Improvement
A compass that shows direction and distance is a great added value to the tracker that you could consider. Meanwhile, publishing altitude, speed, or other parameters could bring more scenarios to this tracker. Besides, the chip ESP32-C3 allows this tracker to communicate over WiFi or BLE, and therefore, we can upload the tracker’s data or realize the Long Range-to-MQTT bridge as well.
