LORDWORLD ESP32-C5-Zero Mini development board with pre-soldered header

SKU CH-KGF8-WJQ1D

Compact RISC-V board with dual-band Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5, and IEEE 802.15.4 for Zigbee or Thread, plus pre-soldered headers and USB-C

  • Dual-band Wi-Fi 6 covers 2.4 and 5 GHz networks
  • Bluetooth 5 LE enables low-energy peripheral links
  • IEEE 802.15.4 radio supports Zigbee 3.0 and Thread
  • RISC-V MCU runs ESP-IDF, Arduino and MicroPython
  • USB Type-C port simplifies power and data connections

ESP32-C5-Zero Mini Development Board

This compact development board is built around the ESP32-C5 RISC-V microcontroller and ships with a pre-soldered header for immediate prototyping. It targets makers and engineers who need a small footprint for IoT edge projects that require dual-band Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5, and IEEE 802.15.4 support for Zigbee 3.0 and Thread networks.

Installation and Common Issues

The USB Type-C connector provides power and a serial programming interface compatible with ESP-IDF, Arduino, and MicroPython toolchains. Because the header pins are already soldered, no iron work is needed, but the tight pin pitch can make breadboard insertion stiff and adjacent pins may short if bent during handling.

Suitable Projects and Limitations

The board suits developers building battery-powered sensors, smart-home actuators, or Thread border routers that benefit from dual-band 2.4 and 5 GHz operation. It is less appropriate for applications needing high-speed local storage, multiple simultaneous radio stacks beyond the integrated protocols, or ruggedised enclosures for outdoor deployment.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the ESP32-C5-Zero Mini is working after connecting the USB Type-C port?

The board should appear as a serial device in your IDE; upload a simple blink sketch using Arduino or MicroPython to verify the onboard GPIO pins toggle correctly.

What comes in the box with the ESP32-C5-Zero Mini and what must I source separately?

The development board with pre-soldered header is included; you will need to provide your own USB Type-C cable and any sensors or actuators for the GPIO pins.

Which wireless protocols should I select in the SDK for the ESP32-C5-Zero Mini?

Enable Wi-Fi 6 on both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, Bluetooth 5 LE, and IEEE 802.15.4 for Zigbee 3.0 or Thread depending on your IoT application.
