ESP32-C6 Trinkey is a USB Key with Wi-Fi/BLE/ZigBee
Having wrapped the feather ESP32-C6 (https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/pull/9961) we think it would be neat to have a USB key ‘Trinkey’ board for the ‘C6 because with WiFi+BLE+ZigBee and USB support, this could act as a low-cost gateway or relay board. We kept it simple here: USB type A in, two buttons for resetting and bootloader-select or user input, one red LED, one NeoPixel, Qwiic/Stemma QT I2C port, and a 3-pin JST SH with gpio #0, which can do PWM/ADC/digital in case you want to add another potentiometer, relay, servo or NeoPixels (on the back you can select if you wish to 3V or 5V power). The goal here is to keep it small, cheap, and extensible. We think we did a good job; what do you think?

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
