Working with the M5Stack and Wi-Fi

You learned about various approaches to wiring an M5Stack Core 2 to create different Bluetooth devices in Chapter 7. The ESP32 Microcontroller Bluetooth chipset was discussed in detail using a system architecture block diagram. A Bluetooth messaging device was built to explore the capabilities of the UiFlow BLE UART coding block pallets. Understanding the versatility of the coding blocks in allowing wireless control with the ESP32 Bluetooth chipset will help you use Wi-Fi technology in this chapter on Wi-Fi.

In this chapter, you will obtain hands-on skills and knowledge in Wi-Fi technology as it aligns with the IoT. You will explore hands-on approaches to using the M5Stack Core as a Wi-Fi receiver and controller to see networked wireless devices and operate them with a smartphone. You will learn how to create a wireless access point (WAP) with the M5Stack Core to control a Snap Circuits Bicolor LED. Furthermore, you will be introduced to the M5Stack...
