The SparkFun Thing Plus - NORA-W306 is a Feather form-factor development board equipped with the u-blox NORA-W306 module. The module contains a Realtek RTL8720DF, which has an integrated single-chip low-power dual-band ( 2.4GH z and 5GHz) Wireless LAN (WLAN) and Low Energy (BLE 5.3 ) communication microcontroller. It also consists of a dual processor core: Arm Cortex-M33 and Cortex-M23. To complement the module's low-power options, we've optimized components and added the ability to depower all subsystems to conserve as much power as possible for remote battery-powered applications. Why the name? We lovingly call it the Thing because it's perfect for your Internet of Things project. The Thing does everything from turning on an LED to posting data with your chosen platform and can be programmed just like any microcontroller. You can even program the Thing through the Arduino IDE by installing the Realtek Arduino core. The board includes a USB-C connector for programming, data, or power. USB data lines are protected by the ESD protection diodes. These pins are connected to a CP2102N USB-to-serial converter for uploading code or serial. Three general use, reset, and boot buttons are also populated on the board. For those that need to go remote with their application, the board includes a 2-pin JST-style connector and MCP73831 single-cell LiPo charge IC (set to a default rate of 500mA).
