ESP32-C5 Mini Development Board - Dual-Band 2.4/5GHz Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5 & Zigbee - Soldered

The Waveshare ESP32-C5-Zero is a tiny development board built around the ESP32-C5, Espressif's first chip with dual-band 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi 6. It also supports Bluetooth 5 (LE) and IEEE 802.15.4 for Zigbee 3.0 and Thread, making it a strong choice for smart home devices, Matter projects and IoT nodes that need to avoid crowded 2.4GHz networks. This version comes with pin headers pre-soldered, ready to plug straight into a breadboard. A 240MHz RISC-V processor, 4MB Flash, USB-C and an onboard RGB LED fit into a thumbnail-sized footprint. Its castellated edges let it be soldered directly onto a PCB like a module, and an onboard antenna switch lets you use the built-in ceramic antenna or an external antenna through the IPEX-1 connector. It can be programmed with Arduino, ESP-IDF or MicroPython. Versions Version Headers ESP32-C5-Zero Unsoldered View ESP32-C5-Zero-M Pre-soldered This page Looking for a different form factor?
