SparkFun Thing Plus - XBee3 Micro (WRL-15454 & WRL-15435)

SparkFun Thing Plus - XBee3 Micro is a compact, Qwiic-compatible board featuring the Digi International XBee3 Micro Module. The XBee3 Micro Module provides 802.15.4 2.4GHz wireless connectivity (Zigbee 3.0 Protocol), and is programmable with MicroPython. The Thing Plus - XBee3 Micro has all the basics for quickly prototyping or developing a connected device, such as a remote sensor. The Qwiic connector and JST connector for the battery make for a solder-less option when working with the board which shortens setup time.

The SparkFun Thing Plus - XBee3 Micro is offered with an integrated chip antenna (WRL-15454) and with a U.FL connector (WRL-15435) for external antennas.

The SparkFun Qwiic Connect System is an ecosystem of I²C sensors, actuators, shields, and cables that make prototyping faster and less prone to error. All Qwiic-enabled boards use a common 1mm pitch, 4-pin JST connector. This reduces the amount of required PCB space, and polarized connections means they're always connected correctly.
