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.

Summary

Congratulations—you have completed the hands-on activities and quizzes in this chapter! In the chapter, you learned about the Bluetooth chipset integrated within the ESP32 microcontroller. You learned about the link controller and the baseband subcircuits that aid in the transmission of wireless data. The UiFlow Bluetooth coding blocks pallet was presented in the chapter. You obtained technical knowledge about the operation of a UART through a series of hands-on coding activities implemented on an M5Stack Core2 device. The UIFlow coding process was introduced in this chapter. With the UiFlow coding process, you learned about the BLE IoT application alignment of the key coding steps. The key coding steps learned in this chapter were Initialize BLE UART Name, Send BLE UART Data, and BLE UART recv conditional logic. BLE IoT application Blockly code blocks were introduced and implemented within this chapter. With the BLE IoT application, you were able to use the Nordic Semiconductor...
