The ESP32-C6-DevKitC-1-N8 is an entry-level development board featuring the ESP32-C6-WROOM-1 module, designed for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth LE, Zigbee, and Thread applications.
-
Core Module: Equipped with the ESP32-C6-WROOM-1, a RISC-V 32-bit single-core CPU running at up to 160 MHz, providing integrated Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5, and IEEE 802.15.4 (Zigbee and Thread) support.
-
Memory: Comes with 8MB Flash for ample storage.
-
Peripheral Support: Includes a wide range of peripherals, such as SPI, I2C, UART, I2S, USB OTG, ADC, touch sensor, PWM, and more with up to 45 GPIOs.
-
Power Options:
-
USB Type-C to UART Port (recommended)
- 5V/GND pin headers
- 3.3V/GND pin headers
-
USB Ports: Includes both a debug UART/USB port and a native USB port for simultaneous uploading, debugging, and USB communication.
-
Debugging and Firmware Download: Includes a boot button for initiating firmware download mode and a reset button for restarting the system.
-
Power Management: Equipped with a 5V to 3.3V LDO power regulator for efficient power conversion.
-
Onboard LED: RGB LED driven by GPIO8 for visual feedback.
-
USB-to-UART Bridge: Enables communication with the ESP32-C6 chip at speeds up to 3 Mbps via the USB-to-UART port.
-
Component Details: Features a 5V to 3.3V LDO regulator, 3.3V power-on LED, USB-to-UART port, and a J5 current measurement pin.
-
Note: Limited support (only ESP IDF, no Arduino/CircuitPython support) – best for developers comfortable with the ESP32-C6 and willing to troubleshoot.
This development board is great for those developing on the ESP32-C6 and working with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Zigbee, and Thread technologies. However, be aware that full compatibility with all platforms may require additional setup.
