This is probably an ignorant/newbie question but what are the connectivity options available with a board like this? Can it do Zigbee or WiFi?


This board is pretty minimalistic. It has five general-purpose I/O pins that you can use to read and write logic-level signals (either 0V or your supply voltage, usually either 3.3V or 5V). Three of those also have analog-to-digital converters, so you can use them to measure voltages in that whole range. Two of these pins have hardware for generating PWM signals, making them useful for motor control. Three of these can be used for an SPI or I2C bus.


By itself at can't do those. If you connect it to a WiFi or Zigbee module using SPI it can, but for WiFi you'll probably want to buy a more powerful microcontroller board anyway.
