The XIAO nRF52840 Sense has equipped a powerful Nordic nRF52840 MCU which is designed in a Bluetooth 5.0 module, built around a 32-bit ARM® Cortex™-M4 CPU with Floating-Point Unit(FPU) operating at 64Mhz.

With the capabilities of wireless connection, it still remains in the Seeed XIAO series classic form-factor which can be used for wearable devices and Internet of Things projects. Furthermore, it only costs 5μA in deep sleep and supports battery charge management thanks to the BQ25101 chip.

In addition, it carries two extra onboard sensors. One of them is a digital microphone created through the Pulse Density Modulation(PDM) module on the nRF52840 chip. It can receive audio data in real-time which allows it can be used for audio recognition. The board not only receives audio data but also can speak through the MSM261D3526H1CPM microphone. The other one is the 6-axis Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) which can be applied in TinyML projects like gesture recognition. These onboard sensors provide a great convenience for users and the ultra-small size feature of the board has remained.

The Seeed XIAO nRF52840 Sense contains a wealthy interface. The first thing to note is that Near Field Communication (NFC) is functional on the board. Secondly, there is a tiny reset button on one side of the Type-C interface. On the other side is a three-in-one LED along with a power LED. There are 11 digital I/O that can be used as PWM pins and 6 analogue I/O that can be used as ADC pins. It supports UART, IIC, and SPI all three common serial ports. It has an onboard 2 MB flash which means it can also be programmed by Arduino, MicroPython, CircuitPython or other program languages.

If you are interested in programming embedded machine learning, Seeed has graphic programming that can help you quickly start your own TinyML project. Seeed has also set up a .

We also stock the standard .

This comes in two options: board headers and a pre-soldered board option. Please select an option before adding to cart.

Note:

• All the I/O pins are 3.3V, please do not input more than 3.3V or the CPU may be damaged.
