M5Stack Electronic Blueprints

By: Don Wilcher

Overview of this book

As an embedded systems developer or an IoT developer, you can often face challenges in maintaining focus on prototyping a product concept while using a specific high-level programming language for implementation. To overcome these challenges, the M5Stack Core platform uses an ESP32 microcontroller and block code that allows you to focus on product creation and application instead of the high-level programming language. M5Stack Electronics Blueprints presents various design and prototyping approaches as well as UI layout and electronics interfacing techniques that will help you to become skilled in developing useful products effectively. This book takes you through a hands-on journey for a better understanding of the ESP32 microcontroller and the M5Stack Core's architecture. You’ll delve into M5Stack Core topics such as electronic units, light, sound, motion devices, interfacing circuits, SNAP circuit kits, Arduino applications, and building Bluetooth and Wi-Fi IoT devices. Further, you’ll explore various M5Stack core applications using a project-based learning method, including the fascinating 32-bit microcontroller device technology. By the end of this book, you’ll be able to design and build interactive, portable electronic controllers, IoT, and wearable devices using the M5Stack Core.

Working with M5Stack and Bluetooth

You learned various approaches to wiring an M5Stack Core2 to an Arduino Uno compatible in Chapter 6. The Freenove Projects kit allowed the prototyping of an M5Stack Core2 to an Arduino quite easily. In the previous chapter, you learned how to create an inverting switch using a digital quad NAND integrated circuit (IC) with an Arduino Uno compatible. Further, a touch control counter, with various controllers, was built using the M5Stack Core2 as the UI for the Arduino Uno compatible. The Freenove Projects kit allows rapid development of these interactive devices. As observed in Chapter 6, the transistor relay driver provided an automation switch approach to interacting with the Arduino Uno compatible.

Besides using an electromechanical relay method of control, an ADC interfacing approach using the M5Stack Core2, in the LED dimmer controller project, M5Stack Core2 provided varying DC voltages used by the Arduino Uno compatible’s analog-to...
