Seeed Studio XIAO has been becoming more and more popular in our community since it was released! As we have Grove Shield for many mainstream boards for easy testing and better use of our Grove modules, many fans of Seeed Studio XIAO have been asking whether we will have a Grove Shield for it, the much-anticipated Grove Shield for Seeed Studio XIAO is now on board!

It’s a plug-and-play Grove extension board for Seeed Studio XIAO. This Shield helps you get rid of jumper wires and soldering work by pulling out the pins of the Seeed Studio XIAO and expands to 8 Grove connectors, including two Grove IIC and one UART. It acts as a bridge for Seeed Studio XIAO and Seeed's Grove system, which provides 300+ different Grove modules including sensors, actuators, communication, displays, etc. No more jumper wires and soldering work, you can enjoy creating more projects with Seeed Studio XIAO more easily.

With the onboard battery management chip and battery bonding pad, you could easily power your Seeed Studio XIAO with a lithium 3.7V battery and recharge it, making your projects, especially wearables ones, more flexible and portable. You could even break the board through the onboard PCB stamp holds according to your actual needs of the project (only 25*39mm in dimension after break-off), making it smaller than smaller.
