C5 FullGate. Coming to market.
The C5 FullGate Core Board is our first planned hardware release. We’re working through validation before opening sales. This page will carry launch updates—you don’t need Discord to follow along. No release date has been announced.
Board design
- Ten removable XIAO ESP32-C5 module positions: one master and nine scanners
- Onboard GNSS support and microSD logging
- USB-C PD input and externally charged 4S lithium-ion battery input through XT60
- 3.3 V I²C display connector and cooling-fan support
Extended subsystem checks and measured battery runtime remain in progress.
Separate accessories
XIAO modules, antennas, display, fan, power supply, battery, and enclosure are not included with the planned Core Board.
No orders or preorders are open. Launch information will be published here after testing and release preparation. The Core Board is not a complete ready-to-use kit.
Follow the BuildLater exploration: MiniGate and Multigating
MiniGate is a future compact platform, with specifications and timing to follow after FullGate validation.
Multigating would link independently powered FullGates wirelessly through their local masters to a central collector. It is exploratory, not an implemented feature.
