ESP32-C6-Zero Wi-Fi 6 IoT Development Kit

Description

The ESP32-C6-Zero development kit is a complete platform for prototyping embedded systems and IoT applications, built around the ESP32-C6 microcontroller, ESP32-C6FH8 version, with a 32 bit RISC-V architecture. The board carries a high-performance core running at up to 160 MHz and a low-power coprocessor running at up to 20 MHz, with 8 MB of Flash, 512 KB of SRAM and dedicated LP memory for energy-efficient applications.

Support for Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth Low Energy and the 802.15.4 protocols (Zigbee / Thread) makes it suitable for next-generation IoT scenarios and connected smart devices. The ESP32-C6-Zero-M board comes with pre-soldered headers and it comes with a set of accessories for electronics experiments, including a breadboard, wiring, a 1.5” OLED display, a WS2812 RGB LED, discrete LEDs, push-buttons, a potentiometer, resistors and a buzzer module.

The kit works with ESP-IDF, Arduino IDE e MicroPython, and it makes embedded application development quick thanks to worked examples, wiring diagrams and teaching material.

PINOUT

The board supports several programming environments:

• Arduino IDE: a widely used development environment, with many libraries and broad community support for ESP32 work.
• ESP-IDF (Espressif IoT Development Framework): the official Espressif framework for advanced ESP32 development, with full access to the hardware.
• MicroPython: lets you program in Python, which simplifies development and rapid prototyping of embedded applications.
