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 this chapter, you learned about the ESP32 Wi-Fi subsystem architecture by analyzing a block diagram. With this knowledge of system block diagrams, you learned how to create one for developing an ESP32 Wi-Fi application. You learned how to set up the M5Stack Core controller to access a wireless home network. You developed and tested a Wi-Fi scanner device using the M5Stack Core controller. In analyzing a C++ code-based Wi-Fi scanner, you investigated the operation of a MicroPython-created network scanning device packaged with the M5Burner firmware software. Lastly, with the C++ skills obtained in creating a Wi-Fi scanner, you were able to develop, enhance, and test a WAP and web server to control a SNAP Circuits bicolor LED wired to the M5Stack controller with a smartphone.
