M5GO IoT Kit v2.6

SKU:K006-V26

Description

M5GO IoT Kit v2.6 is a cost-effective entry-level IoT development kit.
The kit contains a core controller M5GO plus 6 expansion Units with different functions (sensor / actuator / hub).
The core controller M5GO adopts Espressif’s ESP32 chip and integrates two low-power Xtensa® 32-bit LX6 processors running at up to 240 MHz.
With the 16MB Flash on board, it can accommodate larger programs. In addition to powerful hardware performance, the MCU also supports Wi-Fi, enabling applications such as wearable devices and smart-home projects.

USB Driver

Click the links below to download the driver matching your operating system. Two driver chip versions are available, CP210X (for CP2104) / CP34X (for CH9102). After extracting the archive, select the installer matching your OS bit-version.
(If you are unsure which USB chip your device uses, you may install both drivers. CH9102_VCP_SER_MacOS v1.7 may report an error during installation, but the driver is actually installed—just ignore the message.)
If you encounter errors when downloading (timeout or “Failed to write to target RAM”), try reinstalling the driver.
