Wio Terminal: ATSAMD51 Core with Realtek RTL8720DN BLE 5.0 & Wi-Fi 2.4G/5G Dev Board

Compatible with Arduino and MicroPython, Wio Terminal is an ATSAMD51-based microcontroller with wireless connectivity supported by Realtek RTL8720DN. Its CPU speed runs at 120MHz (Boost up to 200MHz). Realtek RTL8720DN chip supports both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi providing the backbone for IoT projects. The Wio Terminal itself is equipped with a 2.4” LCD Screen, onboard IMU(LIS3DHTR), Microphone, Buzzer, microSD card slot, Light sensor, and Infrared Emitter(IR 940nm).

The Wio (Wireless Input and Output) platform (Wio Link, Wio Nodes,etc.) was first introduced to the world at the end of 2015 by Seeed. 

Today a new Wio member is joining the family - Wio Terminal. Instead of being a single embedded functional module, Wio Terminal is more of a complete system, equipping with Screen + Development Board + Input/Output Interface + Enclosure. Make it an efficient and Product-Ready Product.

• Sensing and tagging the Real-World data with over 300 Groves created by Seeed
• A pythonic way to use a 100% open-source Hardware.
• Build your program interpreter starting from 90% with LCD screen and compact enclourse
