Introducing Esp32-C6-Bug, a compact yet powerful development board built around the latest Esp32-C6FH4 RISC-V MCU from the Esp32 family. This versatile board supports multiple wireless protocols, including Wi-Fi 6, BLE 5, Thread, and Zigbee, making it ideal for a wide range of applications. Equipped with low power consumption and battery support, the Esp32-C6-Bug is perfect for projects requiring energy efficiency and wireless connectivity.

The Esp32-C6-Bug features castellated holes for easy integration into other products and neatly fits on a breadboard for prototyping. Its integrated 32.768 kHz RTC oscillator ensures accurate timekeeping, while power consumption as low as 20uA in sleep mode maximizes battery life. Programming can be done using both the Arduino framework and Esp-IDF, with examples readily available for quick start.

To extend the capabilities of the Esp32-C6-Bug, we introduce the Esp32-Bug-Eth companion board. This add-on board features Ethernet and PoE support, utilizing the widely-supported W5500 Ethernet chip and DP1435-5V isolated PoE module. Additionally, it includes a Stemma QT/QWIIC compatible connector for seamless integration with various sensors.
