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.

Wi-Fi setup for the M5Stack Core controller

In this section, you will learn how to set up Wi-Fi for the M5Stack Core controller by adding the appropriate libraries to the Arduino IDE. The appropriate libraries are the M5Stack Core C++ files. These files will have the coding resources to allow your M5Stack Core controller to connect with a home Wi-Fi network. To obtain access to M5Stack Core libraries, read the installation instructions at the following website: https://docs.m5stack.com/en/quick_start/m5core/arduino. On this website, you will find instructions on installing the Arduino IDE with M5Stack Core libraries. Be sure to include the M5Stack Core 2 libraries during the selection and installation of the C++ files. With the installation complete, you will find a variety of coding projects and examples to explore within the Arduino IDE using the M5Stack Core. The projects and examples of interest will be the Wi-Fi projects. Figure 8.3 presents the M5Stack Core Wi-Fi coding projects...
