LORDWORLD ESP32-C5-Zero Mini Dual-Band Wi-Fi 6 Development Board

SKU CH-9WAY-0TTGT

Compact IoT board with dual-band Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5, Zigbee 3.0 and Thread on a RISC-V MCU

  • Dual-band Wi-Fi 6 covers 2.4 and 5 GHz
  • Bluetooth 5 low energy extends battery life for sensors
  • IEEE 802.15.4 radio enables Zigbee 3.0 and Thread networks
  • RISC-V core runs ESP-IDF, Arduino and MicroPython code
  • USB Type-C port simplifies power and programming

ESP32-C5 RISC-V MCU for IoT

This board integrates an ESP32-C5 RISC-V microcontroller with dual-band Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5 (LE) and IEEE 802.15.4 radio supporting Zigbee 3.0 and Thread. It provides multi-function GPIO pins and a USB Type-C port for power and programming. The platform targets makers and engineers building compact wireless IoT nodes.

Suited for multi-protocol wireless projects

Developers who need simultaneous 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi 6 alongside Bluetooth LE and 802.15.4 mesh in a small form factor will find this board convenient. It supports ESP-IDF, Arduino and MicroPython with SDKs and tutorials to accelerate prototyping. Projects that require only single-band 2.4 GHz connectivity or lack a USB-C host port should consider other options.

Dual-band Wi-Fi 6 with 802.15.4 mesh

The defining specification is the combined dual-band Wi-Fi 6 and IEEE 802.15.4 radio enabling Zigbee 3.0 and Thread on one chip. This single feature determines whether the board matches a design that needs both high-throughput Wi-Fi 6 and low-power mesh networking. Without that dual-protocol requirement a simpler module may suffice.

Questions about this item

How much power does the ESP32-C5-Zero draw when its Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5 radios run continuously?

The board is powered through its USB Type-C port and the ESP32-C5 chip is designed for efficient wireless transmission in IoT applications, keeping consumption low during all-day operation.

What host equipment is needed to program the ESP32-C5-Zero over its USB Type-C connection?

A computer with a USB Type-C cable and the ESP-IDF, Arduino IDE or MicroPython toolchain installed is all that is required to start development.

Can the ESP32-C5-Zero coexist with older 2.4 GHz Zigbee 3.0 or Thread devices on the same network?

Yes, its IEEE 802.15.4 radio supports Zigbee 3.0 and Thread alongside dual-band Wi-Fi 6, so it can communicate with legacy 2.4 GHz mesh nodes.
