M5StickC Program Compilation and Flashing

1. Preparation

• Arduino IDE Installation: Follow the Arduino IDE Installation Tutorial to complete the IDE installation.
• Board Management Installation: Follow the Basic Environment Setup Tutorial to complete the IDE, M5Stack board management installation, and select the M5StickC development board.
• Dependency Library Installation: Follow the Library Management Installation Tutorial to complete the M5StickC driver library installation.

2. USB Driver Installation

Connect the device to the PC, open the device manager to install the FTDI driver for the device. For Windows 10, download the driver file matching your operating system, unzip it, and install it through the device manager. (Note: In some system environments, it may be necessary to install the driver twice for it to take effect. The unrecognized device name is usually M5Stack or USB Serial. It is recommended to use the driver file for direct installation through the device manager in Windows (custom update), as the executable file installation method may not work properly).
