M5TimerCAM Program Compilation and Flashing

M5CoreS3 Series API and Example Programs

1.Preparation

• Arduino IDE Installation: Refer to the Arduino IDE Installation Tutorial to complete the IDE installation.
• Board Manager Installation: Refer to the Basic Environment Setup Tutorial to complete the IDE and M5Stack board manager installation and select the M5TimerCAM development board.
• Dependency Library Installation: Refer to the Library Management Installation Tutorial to complete the installation of the M5TimerCAM driver library.

2.USB Driver Installation

Connect the device to a PC and open the Device Manager to install the FTDI driver for the device. For Windows 10, download the driver file that matches the operating system, and extract it, then install it through the Device Manager. (Note: In some system environments, the driver needs to be installed twice to take effect. The unrecognized device name is usually M5Stack or USB Serial. Windows recommends using the driver file for direct installation in the Device Manager (custom update), and the executable file installation method may not work properly).
