It works in two layers. The first is the hardware: a microcontroller board (a <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Genesis<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> board) plus plug-in hardware modules (<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AX22<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> modules). The catalog currently runs to around 60 modules \u2014 sensors, displays, buttons, motor drivers, audio components, microphones, LoRa radios, GPS, and more \u2014 and every module works in every port. You take a module, plug it in, and the Genesis board supplies the power and communication signals it needs. That single step replaces the jumper wires, breadboards, soldering, and pin mapping normally needed to connect components to a dev board.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Behind Axiometa is<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/povilasdumcius\/\"> <b>Povilas Dumcius<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, an embedded hardware engineer, product builder, and maker who founded the company and designed its Genesis boards, AX22 modules, firmware, browser software, and manufacturing system.

The shield then maps the XIAO&#8217;s power, GPIO, ADC, PWM, UART, I\u00b2C, and SPI interfaces onto two standardized AX22 ports.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because every AX22 module uses the same physical connector and a known pin layout, any module \u2014 sensor, display, input, radio, or motor driver \u2014 can be inserted into either port without manually routing power or communication signals. The shield does the job the breadboard, jumper wires, and pin mapping used to do, while your firmware talks to the modules through standard microcontroller interfaces.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From there, you have three ways to program it:<\/span><\/p><ol><li style=\"list-style-type: none;\"><ol><li><b> Program it directly.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Write Arduino C++ in the Arduino IDE, PlatformIO, VS Code, or any other compatible toolchain \u2014 exactly as you would with any XIAO project.<\/span><\/li><li><b> Use AI-assisted development.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Axiometa provides an MCP integration that gives coding agents inside environments like VS Code access to its board definitions, module capabilities, pin mappings, and supporting technical context. The result is firmware generated against the actual connected hardware rather than a generic microcontroller.<\/span><\/li><li><b> Let <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/studio.axiometa.io\/\"><b>Studio <\/b><\/a><b>handle it.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> In the fully managed workflow, you describe a device, Studio resolves the required modules, generates Arduino C++, compiles it on the backend, and flashes the firmware to your XIAO from Chrome using Web Serial.<\/span><\/li><\/ol><\/li><\/ol><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the build side, the shield itself was designed in KiCad.

Add the shield, and it gains two universal ports for sensors, displays, controls, radios, motors, and the rest of the AX22 catalog. The result is a compact but highly capable platform for building complete devices \u2014 and users can pick whichever XIAO best fits the application while keeping the same modules and workflows.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The feature that mattered most was the <\/span><b>shared XIAO form factor<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. It&#8217;s what allowed the shield to become the third Genesis board in the lineup while letting users bring their own processor. The XIAO supplies the computing, connectivity, and onboard features; AX22 adds the modular hardware layer around it.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;XIAO gives you a powerful computer in a tiny form factor.
