The board has its own Bluetooth chip on it, too. So that means it could function with (for example) an RP2040 board which has no built in wireless capability.
The board has its own Bluetooth chip on it, too. It looks like it does work that way, that you can enable Bluetooth and have a connection only over BT.
 
I'm not really interested in doing that.

Seeed Studio page is here: 24Ghz mmWave for Xiao

This is a tiny board in the Seeed Studio Xiao form factor with a radar motion sensor on it.

It came with two female header strips, not soldered on. I can solder those on, put pins on the Xiao ESP32C6 and stack them together. First I am going to look at pinouts though...

Pinouts

Ready?

  • Two serial ports
  • 3V3
  • Gnd

That is it.

Software

Seeed provides a program "HLK Radar" that can run on Windows and talk over a USB to serial adapter to program and test this board.

Can it function on Bluetooth without another connection?

The board has its own Bluetooth chip on it, too. It looks like it does work that way, that you can enable Bluetooth and have a connection only over BT.
