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 electronic circuits interfacing to a Freenove Projects kit Arduino Uno compatible using the M5Stack Core2. You learn how to electrically wire basic electronic circuits using a solderless breadboard. You learned how to build touch controller applications using the M5Stack Core2. Touch controls such as buttons, slide switches, and the slider UI were explored by building various controller devices. The controller devices investigated in this chapter were an inverting switch, a counter, a relay controller, and an LED dimmer controller. The unique aspect of the inverting switch was the introduction of a quad NAND gate IC. You learned how to create an inverter circuit by electrically wiring two inputs of a NAND gate.

Further, you learned how to use your coding skills and electronics knowledge to build a blanking control for a four-seven-segment LED display...
