In this episode of Product of the Week, Robin takes a look at the Seeed Studio Xiao ESP32C5, an ultra-compact development board that delivers advanced wireless connectivity in a tiny package. Featuring dual-band Wi-Fi 6 with 5GHz support, Bluetooth LE 5, Zigbee, Thread, and Matter compatibility, this board brings modern IoT networking standards together on a platform small enough to fit almost anywhere.
Robin explores what makes the ESP32C5 stand out, including its RISC-V architecture, low-power operation, compact design, and support for multiple wireless protocols. Whether you’re building smart home devices, industrial monitoring systems, battery-powered sensors, or secure edge computing projects, the Xiao ESP32C5 offers plenty of capability without taking up much space.
