SparkFun MGM240P Thing Plus Matter Development Board
SparkFun MGM240P Thing Plus Matter Development Board is an easily accessible board that combines Matter and Qwiic ecosystems for agile development and prototyping Matter-based IoT devices. This board provides secure connectivity for 802.15.4 with mesh communication (Thread) and 5.3 Bluetooth® low energy protocols. The development boards Feather-compatible and come with a Qwiic connector for easy integration into Qwiic Connect System for solderless I2C circuits. This MGM240P board features LiPo battery connectors, multiple GPIO pins capable of complete multiplexing through software, and a MAX17048 fuel gauge to charge. Typical applications include smart home devices, lighting, gateways and digital assistants, building automation, and security.
