ESP32 Basic Core IoT Development Kit

M5Stack's ESP32 starter kit includes a modular, stackable, scalable, and portable device powered by an ESP-32 core making it open-source, low-cost, and full-function. The kit also makes it easy for users to handle the product development stages including circuit design, PCB design, software, mold design, and production. The basic kit is an ideal starter kit to explore IoT thanks to its full-featured resources.

M5Stack's development board is a perfect solution for users looking to rapidly prototype IoT solutions. Unlike others, this development board is highly productized. It is covered with an industrial-grade case and an ESP32-based development board. The ESP32 is a hybrid Wi-Fi and Bluetooth® chip that contains a dual-core and 4 MB of SPI Flash. With over 30 M5Stack stackable modules (M5Modules-link), over 40 extendable units (M5Units-link), and different levels of programming languages, users can quickly create and verify their IoT product. Supported development platforms and programming languages include Arduino, Blockly language with UIFlow(link), and Micropython. Regardless of their programming skill level, M5Stack can guide users through the steps from idea to the final product.

The ESP32 is an ideal upgrade from the ESP8266. The ESP32 offers more GPIOs, analog inputs, two analog outputs, and extra peripherals including a spare UART. M5Stack's basic kit consists of two separable parts. The top part houses the processor, chips, and other slot components. The bottom part includes a lithium battery, MBus (link) socket, and extendable pins on both sides.
