M5Stack M5GO IoT Starter Kit V2.7

The M5Stack M5GO IoT Starter Kit V2.7 is an affordable entry-level development kit for the Internet of Things. The kit includes the M5GO Core Controller as well as six expansion units with different functions such as sensors, actuators, and splitters. The Core Controller uses the Espressif ESP32 chip with two energy-efficient Xtensa 32-bit LX6 microprocessors at a main frequency of up to 240 MHz. With the integrated 16 MB flash memory, larger programs can also be stored. The powerful microcontroller supports Wi-Fi and enables the development of smart wearables and smart home applications. The kit offers a 2.0-inch IPS display, a 6-axis IMU sensor, ten programmable RGB LEDs, microphone, speaker, and three programmable buttons. Three Grove expansion ports for I2C, GPIO, and UART enable easy connection of additional sensors and modules from the M5Stack ecosystem.

Features:

• ESP32-D0WDQ6-V3 dual-core processor with 600 DMIPS provides enough computing power for complex IoT applications
• 16 MB flash memory allows extensive programs and data storage directly on the device
• Six included expansion units cover typical sensor and actuator requirements
• IPS display with 320 × 240 pixels and 853 nit brightness ensures good readability in various environments
• Integrated 500 mAh lithium battery enables mobile operation without external power supply
• Compatibility with 8mm building block system allows creative mechanical constructions
