Seeed Studio XIAO boards are tiny, low-cost microcontroller boards with standardized pinouts allowing any XIAO processor board to be plugged into Seeed Studio expansion boards such as the Grove Shield for Seeed Studio XIAO or the Expansion Board Base for XIAO. This allows users to use the processor of their choice with the extensive Seeed Studio ecosystem of sensors and modules.
The Seeed Studio XIAO platform provides compatibility with over 400 plug-and-play Grove modules. This rich, expandable hardware ecosystem gives educators and students an incredible variety of components to choose from when building prototypes and creating hands-on learning projects, making it easier than ever to bring creative ideas to life.
MicroBlocks makes it possible for beginners and younger students to program XIAO boards in an intuitive, Scratch-like blocks language. allowing them to test their ideas interactively without compiling or downloading code.
