Summary

In this introductory chapter, you learned about the technical skills of understanding the M5Stack Core hardware architecture. Within the M5Stack Core’s hardware architecture, you learned about the integrated circuits that provide the functional structure of this programmable device. You also covered how to operate the M5Stack Core demonstrators. Further, you learned about effective UI layout design approaches to make your M5Stack Core projects user-friendly. To implement the UI layout design approaches, you covered the UiFlow Blockly code features and functions that come as standard with the coding tool’s IDE. Finally, you learned how to set up USB communications between the UiFlow Blockly code IDE and the M5Stack Core.

With this knowledge, you will be able to explore the M5Stack Core units in the next chapter. The M5Stack Core units are small electronic modules that work with the hardware architecture and Blockly code discussed in this chapter. You learned about the electronic circuits that aid in the hardware architecture of the M5Stack Core.

In the next chapter, you will use this electronic circuits knowledge, the design layout approaches, and the UiFlow IDE to program the units in Blockly code to create engaging and interactive devices.
