Ideal for advanced IoT projects. ## Pricing - **Price:** $28.48 (inc GST) — $25.89 AUD, exc GST - **Quantity discounts:** 10+ $24.85 (exc GST) · 25+ $24.08 (exc GST) ## Availability & dispatch - In stock, ships same business day if ordered before 2PM (Australia/Sydney). - We can dispatch 9 today; more stock is typically available with a 4–6 day lead time. ## How to buy - **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=CE09922:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart. - **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/CE09922:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.) - **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there. - **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works) - **Payment methods, purchase orders, policies and contact details:** https://core-electronics.com.au/llms.txt ## Description ![](https://s3.amazonaws.com/images.ecwid.com/images/wysiwyg/product/90477757/602208790/17002665312021822357179/main_features_tinyc6_jpg) ## Two antenna options The TinyC6 ships in 2 versions. One with an onboard antenna (this listing) and one with [a u.FL connector](https://core-electronics.com.au/unexpected-maker-tinyc6-esp32-c6-iot-development-board.html), so you can connect an external antenna. ### Features & Specifications | - 32Bit High Perf RISC-V processor up to 160MHz - 32-bit Low Power RISC-V processor at 20Mhz - 2.4GHz WiFi 6 - 802.11ax - Bluetooth 5.3 (LE) + Mesh - Zigbee and Thread (802.15.4) - 8MB QSPI Flash - USB-C Connector - Reverse USB back-feed protection - 700mA 3.3V LDO Regulator - Ultra low deep sleep current | - Low Power RGB LED - VBAT voltage check and 5V presence detection - LiPo Battery Charging - JST pads on the back supports PH connector - Power (red), Charge (orange) LEDs - 17x GPIO broken out - Serial UART & Serial JTAG - 3D High Gain Antenna - Compatible with TinyPICO, TinyS2 & TinyS3 | |---|---| ### Size specifications - Board Dimensions: 35mm x 17.8mm - Max Thickness: 4.3mm at the USB-C end ### Each TinyC6 ships in an antistatic bag with: - Colour pinout card - Unassembled male headers - Unassembled JST PH battery connector ### Tiny board comparison matrix ![](https://s3.amazonaws.com/images.ecwid.com/images/wysiwyg/product/90477757/602208790/1700200532345-1427772097/tiny_comparison_matrix_tinyc6_jpg) ### Pinout compatibility matrix ![](https://s3.amazonaws.com/images.ecwid.com/images/wysiwyg/product/90477757/602208790/1699344246507962359259/TinyXXX_Pinout_Matrix_jpg) ### Ships with CircuitPython pre-installed! The TinyC6 ships with an early alpha version of CircuitPython that supports the ESP32-C6. There is also Arduino support in the upcoming 3.0.0 version of the ESP32 Arduino Core (currently in alpha) and IDF support in release 5.1 and later. **Please Note:** The ESP32-C6 doesn't have native USB - so in CircuitPython it will not present itself as a mass storage device like ESP32-S2 and ESP32-S3 devices do. To connect to the TinyC6 to access the Flash file system or for REPL access, you connect to it via the serial port like you do with an ESP32-C3 or original ESP32. Adafruit recommend using [thonny](https://thonny.org) for **CircuitPython** development on boards that don't have native USB. Once installed, select CircuitPython from the interpreter list in options, and then select the serial port for your TinyC6. ![](https://s3.amazonaws.com/images.ecwid.com/images/wysiwyg/product/90477757/602208790/17004407394851877885025/thonny_circuitpython_setup_jpg) If you need to re-flash CircuitPython back on to your TinyC6, for now the shipping version aims available from [here](https://unexpectedmaker.com/files/circuitpython/tinyc6/cp_tinyc6_firmware_9_alpha_5.bin), and you can flash it to your board any following these instructions: - 1.Download the firmware - 2 Put your board into download mode - 3. Flash it with the following command, changing {PORT} to the correct port on your computer/OS: `esptool.py -p {PORT} --before=default_reset --after=no_reset write_flash 0x0000 cp_tinyc6_firmware_9_alpha_5.bin` If you plan to develop in the **Arduino IDE**, please ensure you have the latest alpha version of 3.0.0 (or later) installed via the board manager, using the Development release link via [these instructions provided by Espressif](https://docs.espressif.com/projects/arduino-esp32/en/latest/installing.html). Please note that though ESP32-C6 support is included, the UMTinyC6 board definition will not be available until the next alpha or beta release. It was merged after alpha 2 was released. ![](https://s3.amazonaws.com/images.ecwid.com/images/wysiwyg/product/90477757/602208790/17004413624901954432217/arduino_esp32_alpha_jpg) ## Images - [Product image 1](https://core-electronics.com.au/media/catalog/product/C/E/CE09922-1.jpg)
