SparkFun ESP32-C6 WROOM Module
Overview
The SparkFun 24806 is a versatile wireless module based on the ESP32-C6 SoC, featuring a single-core 32-bit RISC-V processor running up to 160MHz. It provides comprehensive connectivity including Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax), Bluetooth 5.3 (LE), Zigbee, and Thread, making it an ideal bridge for Matter-enabled smart home ecosystems. This SMT module includes 8MB of flash and an integrated PCB trace antenna for a compact, all-in-one wireless solution.
Why Choose This Part
This module stands out by supporting Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) in the 2.4GHz band, offering improved efficiency and lower latency in congested environments. The RISC-V architecture combined with 512KB RAM and 8MB flash provides a modern, open-standard processing environment with ample headroom for complex protocol stacks. Its pre-certified form factor reduces time-to-market for products requiring multi-protocol wireless support.
Applications
Getting Started
The module can be programmed using the Espressif IoT Development Framework (ESP-IDF) or the Arduino IDE with the ESP32 board support package. Engineers should ensure a stable 3.0V to 3.6V power supply capable of handling the 382mA peak TX current during Wi-Fi operations. For prototyping, this module is compatible with various SparkFun and Espressif development boards designed for the ESP32-C6 series.
Also Consider
Espressif Systems
- This is the base module from the original manufacturer with identical wireless capabilities and pinout.
Espressif Systems
- Choose this if higher computational power (Dual-Core Xtensa) and more RAM are required, though it lacks Zigbee/Thread support.
