The ESP32-C6-DevKit-Lipo is a miniature (less than 2 in / 4 cm) open-source development board by Olimex, offered with Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5 LE, Zigbee, Thread, and Matter connectivity, which uses the ESP32-C6-MINI-1-N4 module. It is targeted at simple prototyping with 0.1-inch breadboard-compatible headers and has 18 GPIOs and is suitable for sensors, automation, wireless access, and low-power connected devices.
The board combines a RISC-V 160 MHz 32-bit CPU, 512 KB RAM, 4 MB Flash, USB-C programming with native USB-JTAG, LiPo battery charger with battery voltage monitoring, and battery packs, complete with battery packs, and is a fit for portable or off-grid use. Having such features as expansion to an external voltage detector and a small size of 45 x 25.4 mm, it can be utilised in embedded development, prototyping, home-automation devices, wireless nodes, and low-powered IoT products.
