Product description: SparkFun Thing Plus - NINA-B306 - WiFi, Bluetooth - IMU ISM330DHCX, BME280 - SparkFun WRL-20854
The Thing Plus series module manufactured by SparkFun , equipped with the NINA-B306 chip from u-blox, the 6DoF IMU ISM330DHCX chip from STMicroelectronics and the BME280 atmospheric sensor from Bosch Sensortec. The module enables WiFi communication in the 802.11 b/g/n standard and Bluetooth 5, 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 and many GPIO pins.
The manufacturer has also prepared a detailed user's guide , which significantly facilitates starting work with the module.
