Whether you’re an engineer, an IoT enthusiast, or a hobbyist looking to create ground-breaking applications we’re certain that you’ll be blown away by the ROCK 3C. This impressive little board is a reliable and extremely capable platform for bringing your ideas to life.
Key benefits of the ROCK 3C single board computer
Reliable Rockchip SoC
ROCK 3C provides reliable and capable performance based on the Rockchip RK3566 SoC, Quad core Armv8.2‑A Cortex®‑A55 up to 1.6GHz, Arm Mali™ G52 GPU, and 32-bit LPDDR4 1GB RAM. Rest assured that its compact size doesn’t mean it’s lacking features, the ROCK 3C will deliver outstanding performance while leveraging outstanding mechanical compatibility.
WiFi onboard, as standard
The ROCK 3C benefits from 802.11 b/g/n/ac Wireless LAN support including WiFi5 and Bluetooth 5.0 making it the ideal solution for supporting your IoT applications, whether you’re looking to create a smart application that requires a reliable Bluetooth connection, or you just want to connect your board to the internet via WiFi, the ROCK 3C has you covered!
More OS, more options
ROCK 3C is a super practical little board, as it is compatible with multiple operating systems, including Android 11, Debian/Ubuntu Linux, the full implementation of the Arm architecture v8‑A instructions set, and others.
No more storage limitations
You may think the ROCK 3C lacks storage capacity with its 32-bit LPDDR4 1GB RAM, however, it benefits from a high-speed eMMC socket for eMMC modules which can be used for data storage and OS. The eMMC socket is compatible with readily available industrial pinout and form factor hardware.
Highly compatible with SBC accessories
There’s nothing more frustrating than getting a new piece of tech and finding out it’s not compatible with your existing accessories. The ROCK 3C’s 40-pin header supports a huge range of interface options, offering an abundance of connectivity capabilities meaning the 3C is compatible with almost every accessory you could think of! On top of that, the dual functionality of many of the pins opens the possibilities for advanced accessories, the sky is the limit!
Supports 1080p display
With an Arm Mali™ G52 graphics processing unit (GPU) at its heart, the ROCK 3C is ideal for multimedia applications, such as videos, and signage. The board benefits from camera and display interfaces, HDMI 2.0 port supporting display up to 1080p resolution, near-CD-quality audio output through a 4-ring 3.5mm audio jack with mic input, and more.

Easy data logging with grove sensors using the MKR Connector Carrier and MKR boards
Getting started with electronics and sensing the world around you is now easier than ever with the new all-in-one Arduino Sensor Kit from Arduino, in partnership with Seeed. The 10 most popular modules and sensors for your Arduino UNO have been integrated onto a single board, providing plug-and-play convenience without the need for any soldering or wiring! Combining basic Grove sensors and actuators for the Arduino UNO, the kit contains a base shield featuring the following modules that can be connected either through the digital, analog, or I2C connectors: An OLED screen4 digital modules (LED, button, buzzer and potentiometer)5 sensors (light, sound, air pressure, temperature, and accelerometer) Just plug the Arduino Sensor Kit into the Arduino UNO, then you're ready to follow the Plug, Sketch & Play online lessons that make getting started a breeze. The kit is equipped with 16 Grove connectors, which when placed on the board, offer functionality to the various pins. With seven digital connections, four analog connections, four I2C connections, and a UART connection, the base shield can be easily mounted onto an Arduino UNO board and programmed through the Arduino IDE. Now available from the Arduino Store, the Arduino Sensor Kit comes as a standalone kit for only €23.00 / US$25.00, or can be purchased with the Arduino UNO Rev3 board as a great value bundle for €38.70 / US$39.80.
