ESP32 Basic Core IoT Development Kit M5Stack

DESCRIPTION

The M5Stack Basic Kit, like its namesake, is a starter kit among the M5Stack development kit series. This modular, stackable, scalable, and portable device is powered with an ESP-32 core, which makes it open-source, low cost, full-functional, and easy for developers to handle new product development on all stages including circuit design, PCB design, software and production. This Basic kit is affordably priced and features a full range of resources which makes it a good starter kit for you to start learning and exploring IoT.

Have you ever wanted to explore the fastest way of IoT prototyping, the M5Stack development board is the perfect solution. Unlike others, the M5Stack development board is highly productized, covered with an industrial-grade case, and an ESP32-based development board. The ESP32 is a hybrid Wi-Fi & Bluetooth chip that contains a dual-core processor and 4MB of SPI Flash. Together with 30+ M5Stack stackable modules (M5Modules-link), 40+ extendable units (M5Units-link), and different levels of program languages, you can create and verify your IoT products in no time. Supported development platforms and program languages includes: Arduino, Block-programming with UIFlow and Micropython. Regardless of what level of program skill you have, M5Stack helps guide you every step of the way to realise your idea all the way to the final product.

If you ever played with an ESP8266, you know that ESP32 is a perfect upgrade from the ESP8266. In comparison, the ESP32 is full-feathered with more GPIOs, plenty of analogue inputs and two analogue outputs, and multiple extra peripherals (like a spare UART). Official development platform ESP-IDF has been planted with FreeRTOS. With dual-core and real-time OS you can get more organised code and a much high-speed processor.

M5Stack Basic consists of two separable parts, the top part houses the processor, chips and some other slot components. The bottom part contains the lithium battery, M-BUS(link) socket and extendable pins on both sides.
