BeagleBadge

BeagleBadge brings a new vision to wearables by combining powerful built-in sensing with unmatched expansion flexibility. With an onboard light sensor, accelerometer/gyroscope for precise position and orientation feedback, and integrated temperature and humidity monitoring, it empowers users to design intuitive, context-aware interactions. Beyond its core features, dual QWIIC, Grove, and mikroBUS headers unlock thousands of additional sensors and actuators— from pulse oximeters and UV spectroscopy to fingerprint readers, GPS, haptics, and audio. This extraordinary modularity transforms BeagleBadge into a limitless innovation platform, enabling rapid prototyping, research, and real-world solutions in health, environment, and human-machine interfaces. It inspires creativity while remaining practical, scalable, and accessible to all.
