Basic
SKU:K001
Description
Basic is an entry-level product with high cost performance in the M5Stack development kit series, ideal for beginners in development. It comes with a wealth of case resources, equipped with an ESP32 IoT chip, integrated Wi-Fi, and built-in 16 MB SPI flash memory. With its dual-core low-power design, it performs excellently in various application scenarios. It features an industrial-grade casing, exquisite appearance, and stable performance, breaking the traditional development board's limitations of being used only for verification and learning. With the advantages of rapid prototyping and ultra-low threshold, it helps developers achieve product-level results quickly, accelerating the development and productization process. A powerful hardware expansion system composed of multiple stackable modules and expandable units can quickly build and verify IoT products.
Basic has a practical and ingenious structural design, consisting of two stackable parts that can be separated. The top integrates the circuit board, chip, and other key components, while the bottom is equipped with a lithium battery, M-BUS bus socket, and expansion pins. This layout not only facilitates operation but also provides convenience for subsequent functional expansion.
