T7-C5 get it now

Overview

LILYGO T7-C5 is a development board based on the ESP32-C5-MINI-1 module — Espressif's first chip supporting dual-band Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) at both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, plus Bluetooth 5 and IEEE 802.15.4 (Thread/Zigbee). With 4 MB Flash, USB-C, and a compact form factor, it is designed for next-generation smart home and industrial IoT applications requiring high-throughput wireless connectivity and multi-protocol support.
