Hands-On with M5Stack Units

You learned about the inner electronics of the M5Stack Core in Chapter 1. You also learned about UI design basics and received overview information on the UIFlow Blockly coding software. The new knowledge obtained in the previous chapter will allow you to learn about and use M5Stack units for creating interactive and engaging electronic devices.

In this chapter, you will explore M5Stack units for control and detection applications. The units are small electronic circuits such as an infrared (IR) remote, an angle sensor, an RGB LED, and a passive motion sensor. We will use the UIFlow Blockly code to investigate the function of the extendable electronic units.

By the end of this chapter, you will be able to perform the following technical tasks with M5Stack units:

• Draw a typical M5Stack unit connector electrical pinout
• Code an RGB LED unit UIFlow test application
• Code an IR remote unit UIFlow test application
• Code an angle sensor...
