PCB devboard the size of a USB-C plug

Very cool, but what about the $ to manufacture? Things get exponentially(?) harder the smaller it is, especially for custom boards.

I recently got my hands on an M5Stack NanoC6 (https://docs.m5stack.com/en/core/M5NanoC6), it's also quite small and I'm pretty happy with it. It has onboard IR and a Grove connector, good enough for IoT projects at home.

Title is inaccurate, it's really designed to be about the size of a USB-C receptacle , the plug is the other side (in this case the part of the cable that plugs in to this board)

I dream of an open board like the yubikey nano. This is very nice!

I'm interested in this too. I've been using STM32 NUCLEO boards, which are cheap and capable, but even the smallest ones are noticeably larger than this. I'd love to see an STM32 version of this project.

Very nice. I am wondering -- why have a devboard this small?

This looks awesome, I'd love to get one. Question, what's the advantage over something like the ESP32C3 and the like? Just even smaller?

That's not a plug. To be precise, that's the opposite of a plug xD
