Quick Start

This document is intended to help you set up the software environment(Arudino, MicroPython) for development of M5Stack. Through a simple example we would like to illustrate how to develop M5Stack boards, firmware(Arduino) or source files(MicroPython) download to M5Stack boards.

Introduction

M5 stack is a modular stackable development device. The M stands for Modular and 5 stands for the the units compact 5 x 5 cm size.

What You Need

To develop applications for M5Stack Core you need:

  • PC loaded with either Windows, Linux or Mac operating system
  • a Type-C cable

Before setting development environment, the step below you need to follow:

  1. Establish serial connection

How to Establish serial connection

Quick Start

!> Notice Make sure you have installed USB driver so that your board can establish serial connection with PC. If not, please view this article How to Establish serial connection for connection.

At the first time, you need to burn the specific firmware file(.bin) to your board following this article How to burn firmware befor developing it.

If you have one of ESP32 development boards listed below, click the corresponding one to start your development.
