Recently Arduino released Community preview about Arduino Nano Matter and enables waiting list. Later in January this year Arduino and Silicon Labs team up to make the matter protocol. Now they are setting up to release the board with title of “Enjoy your new automated home” and priced at $25, as they said this board comes with open-source connectivity standard (matter) for smart home and IoT applications. Definitely this board will make new way to approach IoT in Arduino way. Main chip in this board is, MGM240S ARM Cortex M33 microcontroller from Silicon Labs and provides Matter, Bluetooth and Thread wireless connectivity onboard.
Physical Look Of Matter Board
Nano matter board encompasses I2C, SPI and UART serial communication protocols and PWM, Digital I/Os, these are Very essential for to make communication between Microntrollers, Sensors and Actuators. Additionally this board have USB C connector.
