Seeed XIAO MG24 Sense

This XIAO MG24 Sense is a small development board that uses the Silicon Labs EFR32MG24 SoC and the ARM Cortex-M33 processor. There is 4MB of Flash and it’s ideal for battery-powered home automation products due to its low power consumption (less than 1.95μA in sleep mode). It supports Matter, Thread, Zigbee and Bluetooth LE 5.3.

There is an antenna attached to the board with a BLE range of up to 50m in an open location with no signal interference and there is also room for an external uFL antenna. The board also has an analogue microphone and a 6-axis IMU for TinyML. 

If you’re trying to save some pennies and have no need for the microphone or 6-axis IMU, click here.

The board comes with a set of loose headers for soldering to the board if required.

Pinout

• 5V – This is 5V out from the USB port. You can also use this as a voltage input but you must have some sort of diode (Schottky, signal, power) between your external power source and this pin with the anode to battery, cathode to 5V pin.
• 3V3 – This is the regulated output from the onboard regulator.
• GND – Power/data/signal ground
