Hello! New to the Board, so I hope I am not out-of-bounds.
I am just wondering whether Seeed Studios has any plans to develop modules using the Espressif ESP32-C5 or ESP32-C6 modules, that seem to perpetually be in Announced status.
Hoping your team has direct connects at Espressif, to find out when devices will be available to you. A Dev board does not seem to be on anyone’s public radar yet and the C6 was announced last year.
I want to develop an LED controller with WLED and feel 5GHz WiFi is really important for user convenience.
Hi, just following up on this thread. Since development modules have been available since late last year, I was wondering if there are any plans to release this board in the XIAO form factor within the next 3–6 months?
So the C6 has been out for a good while, I use them all, and feel the S3 is the only one worth using IMO on mission critical projects. It’s the only DUAL core too. The C5 is just another permutation of the single core variants with an Added 5Ghz WiFi… is the juice worth the squeeze ?
The Package size released by the manufacture determines allot of how fast or if at all shoe-horned into the Xiao Tiny size.
Package Sizes
The package sizes of the ESP32 chips also vary. The ESP32-C2 is the smallest, with a 4 mm x 4 mm package, while other ESP32-C series chips, including the ESP32-H2, come in 5 mm x 5 mm sizes. The ESP32-S series is slightly larger, measuring 7 mm x 7 mm, which accommodates additional GPIO pins and features.
for anyone looking here is a loose chart from the link below if you want more info.
I’m in the S3 camp ALL-IN … most available performance, most compatible with older code base, Good enough Deep Sleep. Most GPIO’s Available with the B2B connector Which opens up a Veritable horn of Plenty it is a virtual cornucopia of options
I have an application that uses 20+ ESP32 devices indoors, and I found that the 2.4 GHz frequency becomes extremely congested in my testing environment.
I’m very keen to get my hands on the C5 XIAO boards as it would be a direct swap-in for my existing setup and there really aren’t that many 5GHz wifi capable microcontroller options in the market today
