SparkFun MGM240P Thing Plus Matter Development Board is an easily accessible board that combines Matter and Qwiic ecosystem for agile development and prototyping Matter-based IoT devices. This board provides secure connectivity for 802.15.4 with mesh communication (Thread) and 5.3 Bluetooth® low energy protocols. The development boards are Feather-compatible and come with a Qwiic connector for easy integration into Qwiic Connect System for solderless I2C circuits. This MGM240P board features LiPo battery connectors, multiple GPIO pins capable of complete multiplexing through software, and a MAX17048 fuel gauge to charge. Typical applications include smart home devices, lighting, gateways and digital assistants, building automation, and security.
