Grove Base for XIAO – Battery Management & Expansion Board | Seeed Studio
The Grove Base for XIAO is a feature-rich expansion board designed to unlock the full potential of the Seeed Studio XIAO series microcontrollers. Compact yet powerful, it enables seamless prototyping by integrating on-board lithium battery charging and management, multiple Grove connectors, and complete access to all XIAO GPIO pins—eliminating jumper-wire complexity and making development faster, cleaner, and more efficient.
Equipped with two Grove I²C ports, one Grove UART port, and a convenient power switch, this base module serves as the perfect bridge between XIAO and the extensive Grove ecosystem (300+ modules), including sensors, displays, actuators, communication units, and more. With a breakable design for flexible layout and reserved pads for SPI Flash bonding, the Grove Base for XIAO provides unmatched versatility for wearable, portable, and low-power embedded projects.
