Waveshare’s ESP32-H2-DEV-KIT-N4 is A $5.99 RISC-V Dev Board with Zigbee, Thread, and Bluetooth Connectivity

The Waveshare’s ESP32-H2-DEV-KIT-N4 is an ESP32-H2-MINI-1-based dev board featuring a 96MHz RISC-V 32-bit core, 320KB ROM, 128KB HP SRAM, 4KB LP SRAM, 4MB Flash, Zigbee 3.0, Thread, and Bluetooth LE connectivity. All these features make it suitable for applications like smart homes, industrial automation, and many more.

Previously, we have covered many ESP32-H2-based dev boards and modules like the LILYGO T-Panel, ESP32-H2-DevKitM-1, and others feel free to check those out if you are looking for products with this ESP module.

The board also supports Bluetooth LE and IEEE 802.15.4 and other features similar to the SparkFun Thing Plus ESP32-C6 board we covered last month. The form factor of this board and the SparkFun board are also the same.
