Product description: SparkFun Thing Plus - DA16200 - WiFi - SparkFun WRL-19696
Another board from the manufacturer SparkFun from the Thing Plus series, this time equipped with the DA16200 chip, which allows WiFi communication in the 802.11 b/g/n standard, making it ideal for IoT projects. The Thing Plus board is compatible with the Feather series and is equipped with a Qwiic connector, which means that connection with the rest of this ecosystem does not require soldering. On the module you can also find a Li-Pol battery connector, many GPIO pins and JTAG debugging pins. The DA16200 supports TCP/IP and the entire network operating system, so no external network processor, central processing unit or microcontroller is required. It is also equipped with WiFi Alliance certification for IEEE802.11b/g/n, WiFi Direct and WPS. The board works with a voltage of 3.3 V.
