About This Product

Calling all developers and IoT enthusiasts! This GeeekPi nRF52840 Micro Dev Kit USB Dongle is seriously cool for anyone working with wireless protocols and IoT projects. This little USB dongle packs some serious power with the Nordic nRF52840 System-on-Chip featuring an ARM Cortex-M4F processor that's optimized for ultra-low power operation - perfect for battery-powered devices. It comes pre-loaded with OpenThread NCP firmware and supports OpenThread Border Router functionality right out of the box. But here's where it gets really interesting: you can use it as a Thread Network Sniffer with Wireshark compatibility, making network debugging and analysis so much easier. The hardware specs are impressive too - 1 MB FLASH and 256 kB RAM, up to 12 GPIOs available via headers, plus there's a user programmable button and RGB LED for interactive projects. It's got an on-board 2.4G chip antenna and 3.3V regulator with 1A peak current output. The convenient USB dongle form factor makes it super portable, and it's breadboard-friendly with dual 10-pin headers. Measuring just 1.65 x 0.7 x 0.16 inches (without headers), this tiny powerhouse is perfect for prototyping wireless applications, smart home devices, or any project requiring Thread protocol support. The kit includes the dongle itself plus 2x 10-pin headers, so you have everything you need to get started. Whether you're a professional developer working on commercial IoT products or a hobbyist exploring wireless technologies, this development kit provides professional-grade features at an accessible price point. The ARM TrustZone Cryptocell 310 security subsystem ensures your projects stay secure, while the power-path management handles different power sources seamlessly.
