FireBeetle 2 ESP32 C6 IoT Development Board (Supports Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5, Solar-Powered).

The FireBeetle 2 ESP32-C6 is a low-power IoT (Internet of Things) controller board designed based on the ESP32-C6 chip, making it suitable for smart home projects. The ESP32-C6 features a high-performance 160MHz RISC-V 32-bit processor, supporting communication protocols such as Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5, Zigbee 3.0, and Thread 1.3. This enables seamless integration into IoT networks with various communication protocols. The FireBeetle 2 ESP32-C6 supports multiple power supply options, including Type-C, 5V DC, and solar charging for lithium batteries managed by a solar power manager, which optimizes the power usage and ensures efficient energy management, providing a range of choices for deployment.


Multiple transmission protocol support to expand wireless connectivity

Boasting support for multiple communication protocols, the FireBeetle 2 ESP32-C6 expands wireless connectivity options. By supporting Wi-Fi and Thread protocols, it enables the creation of Matter Wi-Fi terminal devices and Matter Thread terminal devices, facilitating seamless communication and collaboration among multiple systems and platforms in smart home setups. Additionally, the FireBeetle 2 ESP32-C6 supports BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) and Zigbee communication protocols, making it suitable for use as a Thread border router, Matter gateway, or Zigbee bridge when combined with other MCUs.

Excellent power supply system makes power supply for equipment more convenient

Featuring an excellent power supply system, the FireBeetle 2 ESP32-C6 provides convenient device power options. It integrates battery charging management for lithium batteries, enabling charging via Type-C, 5V DC, and solar power. The solar charging capability resolves challenges posed by scenarios without power lines, such as balconies, windows, and rooftops. The FireBeetle 2 ESP32-C6 utilizes the same solar power management chip as the 5V@1A solar power management module, and it is able to maximize the current output capability of the input power source. Additionally, the FireBeetle 2 ESP32-C6 supports battery level monitoring to take necessary measures when the battery is low, ensuring continuous device operation.
