Ai-Thinker PB-02-Kit is a development board for evaluating the PB-02 BLE 5.0 module and the TG7100B low-power Bluetooth platform. It is built for BLE Mesh testing, smart-lighting firmware validation, PWM output checks, GPIO expansion, firmware burning, and early-stage wireless product debugging.
The board packages the PB-02 module into a convenient DIP-20 development platform with Micro USB power, 2.54mm pin headers, RGB lamp beads, cold / warm lamp beads, a reset button, and a user-defined key. Compared with a bare module, it gives engineers a faster way to check wireless control behavior, dimming response, power budget, and peripheral wiring.

Q: Is PB-02-Kit the same as the PB-02 module?
A: No. PB-02-Kit is a development board built for evaluating the PB-02 module, adding Micro USB power, headers, buttons, and lamp loads for debugging.
Q: Does PB-02-Kit support Bluetooth Mesh?
A: Yes. Official Ai-Thinker documentation lists Bluetooth 5.0 with Mesh support for the PB-01 / PB-02-Kit development board family.
Q: Does PB-02-Kit support Zigbee?
A: The official kit specification lists Bluetooth 5.0 Mesh. For Zigbee-related work, verify the exact firmware stack, SDK support, and certification requirements before committing to a design.
Q: What power supply should I use?
A: Use a stable 5V Micro USB supply. For reliable development-board testing, reserve more than 800mA peak-current capability.
Q: What antenna type does PB-02-Kit use?
A: PB-02-Kit uses an on-board antenna, so antenna keep-out and enclosure placement should be checked during RF testing.
Q: Which interfaces are available?
A: The board exposes PWM, SPI, GPIO, ADC, and UART-related development pins through a 2.54mm pin header.
Q: Is this board intended for mass production?
A: It is primarily a development and evaluation board. Use it to validate firmware, power, RF behavior, and peripheral wiring before designing a custom PB-02-based PCB.
