1. Preparation
- Arduino IDE Installation: Refer to the Arduino IDE Installation Guide to complete the IDE installation.
- Board Manager Installation: Refer to the
Basic Environment Setup Guide
to complete the M5Stack board management installation and select the development board
M5Tough.
- Library Installation: Refer to the
Library Management Installation Guide
to complete the installation of the
M5Toughdriver library. After downloading the library files, manually install them into the Arduino library folder as shown below.
2. USB Driver Installation
Driver Installation Tip
There are currently two versions of the driver chip, CP210X (for the
CP2104 version) and CP34X (for the CH9102 version). Download and install the driver package corresponding to your operating system. (If you are unsure which USB chip your device uses, you can install both drivers. CH9102_VCP_SER_MacOS v1.7 may show an error during installation, but it has actually completed successfully, so you can ignore the error.)| Driver Name | Applicable Driver Chip | Download Link |
|---|---|---|
| CP210x_VCP_Windows | CP2104 | Download |
| CP210x_VCP_MacOS | CP2104 | Download |
| CP210x_VCP_Linux | CP2104 | Download |
| CH9102_VCP_SER_Windows | CH9102 | Download |
| CH9102_VCP_SER_MacOS v1.7 | CH9102 | Download |
Port Selection on MacOS
On MacOS, there may be two available ports. When using them, please select the port named wchmodem.
3. Port Selection
Connect the device to the computer via a USB cable. After completing the driver installation, select the corresponding device port in the Arduino IDE.
4. Program Compilation & Upload
