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.

An introduction to electronic interfacing circuits

Wiring two non-compatible circuits requires an electrical connection method. The electrical connection method addresses control signal differences between the two non-compatible circuits. Electronic interfacing is an electrical wiring method that connects or links one circuit to another electrical device. Traditionally, there are two approaches to interfacing electronic circuits: input and output. Input interfacing is an electrical approach to adapting an electronic circuit’s output to the input of another circuit device. Output interfacing allows an electronic or electrical circuit to control a real-world device. A real-world device such as an electromechanical relay, a discrete LED, or a liquid-crystal display (LCD) is wired to the output of a controller or switching circuit. The input and output electronic interfacing circuits traditionally use basic components, such as resistors, capacitors, or transistors. The arrangement...
