NGW-1pc Grove Base for XIAO - with embedded battery management chip

Seeed Studio XIAO has been becoming more and more popular in our community since it was released! As we have Grove Shield for many mainstream boards for easy test and better use of our Grove modules, many fans of Seeed Studio XIAO have been asking whether we will have a Grove Shield for it, the much-anticipated Grove Shield for Seeed Studio XIAO is now on board!

Its a plug-and-play Grove extension board for Seeed Studio XIAO. This Shield helps you get rid of jumper wires and soldering work by pulling out the pins of the Seeed Studio XIAO and expands to 8 Grove connectors, including two Grove IIC and one UART. It acts as a bridge for Seeed Studio XIAO and Seeed's Grove system, which provides 300+ of different Grove modules including sensor, actuator, communication, display, etc. No more jumper wires and soldering work, you could enjoy creating more projects with Seeed Studio XIAO easily and quickly.

With the on-board battery management chip and battery bonding pad, you could easily power your Seeed Studio XIAO with lithium 3.7V battery and recharge it, making your projects, especially wearables ones, more flexible and in portable. You could even break the board through the onboard PCB stamp holds according to your actual needs of the project (only 25*39mm in dimension after break-off), making it smaller than smaller.



As an extension board, the Grove Shield for Seeed Studio XIAO also pulls all 14 pinout from Seeed Studio XIAO, and its on-board power switch and charging status indicator light makes it more user-friendly.
