The Xiao Grove Expansion Board Video demonstration, w/ code. 🎅

:christmas_tree:

:santa:
Here is a Demo of the Expansion board with the External Flash Installed and being tested. It demonstrates the Button Interrupt to SLEEP and WAKE. It’s a rough Basic demo.
The Flash is Hardwired on the board to pin (D1) and both QSPI and SPI FLash are available. extra’s is the DS18B20 and the display is a cheapy , I2C (3C),running adafruit library code.
BSP files are all 1.1.1 and LIB’s listed. I printed the case and stretched :grinning: :pinching_hand:one for the bigger battery.

thanks to the Support staff for getting me the info I needed to help make this proof of concept and video. This external Flash makes an ESP32C3 with grove peripherie a snap with extra memory to store that important DATA :wink: The Socket, & BIG ReSeT Button Helmet are also captured in this video as well.
Have fun & My special message at the end.
