M5GO IoT Kit

SKU:K006

Description

M5GO IoT Kit is a development kit in the M5Stack series oriented toward STEM education. In addition to the main host M5GO, the kit also includes 6 Units with different functions and some LEGO bricks and other accessories.
M5GO not only boasts abundant hardware resources but is also backed by a wealth of instructional videos, textbooks, technical documents, and other materials. It plays an important role in STEM education for students of all ages.
The kit provides an online WebIDE programming platform—UIFlow—allowing students to experience the power of IoT by pushing programs over the network. It also supports multiple programming methods, helping students smoothly transition from graphical programming to understanding real code.
Designed specifically for STEM education, M5GO aims to let students gain knowledge while having fun, and enjoy the sense of accomplishment that comes from turning creativity into reality. It enables students to freely explore the world of engineering, create their own IoT products, and bring brilliant ideas into everyday life.

USB Driver

Click the link below to download the driver matching your operating system. Currently there are two driver chip versions: CP210X (for CP2104) / CP34X (for CH9102). After unzipping, choose the installer corresponding to 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 it is actually completed—just ignore the message.)

Easyloader

EasyLoader is a simple and fast program burner. It comes with a demo firmware related to this product, allowing you to verify a variety of functions with just a few steps.
