<\/span>We are expanding our range to include innovative solutions for IoT, automation and embedded projects with M5Stack<\/strong><\/a>. The brand has become synonymous with the Internet of Things (IoT) and prototyping among developers, engineers and educational institutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why M5Stack is in demand among developers worldwide<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

M5Stack is a leading provider of modular, open-source hardware development kits, most of which are based on powerful ESP32 microcontrollers. The company is best known for bridging the gap between bare circuit boards and ready-to-use end products. The \u2018stack\u2019 principle enables different functional modules (e.g. batteries, sensors or communication modules) to be stacked on top of one another easily, without the need for complicated soldering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The M5Stack portfolio at a glance<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

M5Stack Core Series<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Core series<\/a><\/strong> is the flagship of the ecosystem. Modules such as the Core2 and CoreS3 are equipped with a colour touchscreen, speakers, buttons and connectivity (Wi-Fi\/Bluetooth). Encased in a robust housing, they are ideal for use as control centres for smart home applications, IoT gateways, or portable terminals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

M5Stack Atom Series<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When space is limited, the Atom series<\/a><\/strong> is the perfect solution. With dimensions as small as 24 x 24 mm, these modules are among the smallest programmable controllers on the market. Despite their small size, they feature programmable buttons, LED matrices and GPIO pins for compact IoT nodes or smart wearables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

M5Stack Stamp Series<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Stamp series<\/a><\/strong> comprises ultra-compact ESP32 modules for direct integration into custom PCBs and embedded designs. Ideal for OEM and mass-production applications, they can be integrated directly into custom hardware. Despite their very small form factor, they offer full Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, as well as the typical M5Stack development environment. This enables the fast and flexible development of IoT and industrial solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

M5Stack Stick Series<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Stick series<\/strong><\/a> \u2014 including the popular M5StickC Plus \u2014 combines the compactness of the Atom range with the advantages of an integrated display and battery. In its convenient bar format, this series is perfect for mobile measuring devices and portable data loggers, or as an interactive IoT keychain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

M5Stack Units & Extensions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The system thrives on its modularity. In addition to the base controllers, we stock a wide variety of units and modules<\/a><\/strong>. From simple environmental and motion sensors to RFID readers and sophisticated AI cameras (such as the UnitV), the main modules’ functionality can be expanded in no time at all via plug-and-play or stacking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
