XIAO 1.14'' IPS Display (nRF52840)

The XIAO 1.14" IPS Display (nRF52840) combines a colour display, BLE, microphone, 6-axis IMU, three user buttons and Grove I2C connectivity on a compact board for portable sensing and control projects.

The Seeed XIAO 1.14'' IPS Display(nRF52840) is a ready-to-use mini smart device development board designed for sensing, physical control, and Bluetooth-connected projects. It combines a 1.14" IPS display, PDM digital microphone, 6-axis IMU, three user buttons, Grove I2C interface, battery connector, and the pre-soldered XIAO nRF52840 Plus on one compact board. You can quickly build portable sensor displays, BLE controllers, motion-aware devices, wearable prototypes, desktop gadgets, and compact HMI projects without wiring multiple modules. We are currently stocking the 0.96", 1.14" and the 1.47" versions of this board. Please see the specifications table for their differences. Features

* Compact Smart Device Platform with Built-In Sensors: When building a portable sensor device, you normally need a display, input controls, motion sensing, audio input, battery support, and wireless connectivity. This board brings these functions together around XIAO nRF52840 Plus, allowing you to focus on the interface, sensor data, and device behaviour instead of assembling separate modules and wires.

* Clear 1.14" Display for Status and Simple UI: The 1.14" 135 × 240 IPS TFT display provides enough space for status pages, sensor readings, icons, menus, and lightweight animations. Together with three physical buttons, it allows you to build compact interfaces that remain easy and reliable to operate without requiring a touch screen.

* Voice, Motion, Buttons, and Grove I2C in One Board: The onboard PDM microphone can be used for sound detection, volume monitoring, or audio capture. The 6-axis IMU detects orientation, shaking, flipping, and motion, while three user buttons provide direct physical control. A Grove I2C interface makes it easy to add environmental, distance, light, and other compatible sensors without complex wiring.

* Built for BLE and Battery-Powered Projects: Powered by XIAO nRF52840 Plus, this version is designed for Bluetooth Low Energy and portable projects. It can connect to phones, computers, and gateways, making it suitable for wearable notifiers, BLE remote controls, portable sensor terminals, desktop devices, and motion-aware products that do not require Wi-Fi.
