Description

Key Features

✅ NRF52840 MCU – ARM Cortex-M4F @ 64MHz (with FPU, 1MB Flash, 256KB RAM).
✅ Bluetooth 5.0/5.1 (BLE) – Long-range, high-throughput, and mesh support.
✅ Native USB (Type-C/Micro-USB) – Acts as HID (Keyboard/Mouse) or CDC serial.
✅ ProMicro-Compatible Pinout – Fits most existing ProMicro shields & footprints.
✅ Battery-Powered Ready – Low-power modes & LiPo charging (on some models).
✅ Arduino & CircuitPython Support – Easy programming with familiar tools.
✅ Onboard Antenna & RGB LED – For wireless stability & visual feedback.


Technical Specifications

  • MCU: Nordic NRF52840 (64MHz Cortex-M4, 1MB Flash, 256KB RAM).

  • Wireless: Bluetooth 5.0/5.1 (BLE), 2.4GHz proprietary RF.

  • USB: Native USB Type-C or Micro-USB (depends on model).

  • GPIOs: 20+ pins (UART, SPI, I2C, PWM, ADC, NFC).

  • Analog Inputs: 8x 12-bit ADC channels.

  • Power Supply: 3.3V logicLiPo battery support (with charging on some boards).
