The ESP-32-based M5Stick-C is a wee, super portable, open-source IoT development board, like a fun-sized version of the M5Stack. Jam-packed with a Wi-Fi & Bluetooth powered ESP32, USB interface, Li-Poly battery and charge circuitry, 0.96" color TFT display, various sensors (IR transmitter, microphone, 6-DoF IMU sensor) all integrated inside, buttons, and more! You can plug Grove sensors into one end, or use the 0.1" header sockets on the other, to connect additional sensors or actuators. It's perfect for making ultra-small IoT projects or wearables.

M5Stick-C is one of the core devices in the M5Stack product series. It's compatible with many of the modules and add-ons in that ecosystem, which opens up much potential in the developing IoT landscape (or perhaps we should say...cloudscape?)

Includes:

  • 1 x M5Stick-C Micro Core
  • 1 x USB-C to USB-A cable
  • PCB-to-watch adapter mounts and watch strap (note: the color of the watch band may vary)

Revision History: 

  • As of March 6, 2024 - The M5StickC is now M5StickC PLUS powered by ESP32-PICO-D4 with Wi-Fi. Additional improvements from the regular StickC include a buzzer, a bigger screen (1.14", 135 x 240 resolution LCD screen), and a more stable hardware design. This revision increases the display area by 18.7%, and the battery capacity from 95mAh to 120mAh. 

Jargon buster

Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.

ESP32
ESP32 is a family of microcontroller modules with built-in wireless features such as Bluetooth and WiFi. Knowing this product uses an ESP32-based module helps explain how it provides wireless serial communication and firmware update features.
Grove
Grove is a plug-in connector ecosystem for sensors and modules that avoids soldering and jumper wires. Grove compatibility matters because it can make it quicker to add supported I2C devices, as long as the cable and voltage are suitable.
IMU
An Inertial Measurement Unit combines motion sensors to measure movement and orientation. It matters for asset tracking because it can detect movement, tilt, vibration, or changes in direction.
IoT
Short for Internet of Things, meaning physical devices that connect to networks or the internet to send data or be controlled remotely. It matters if you want projects such as connected sensors, remote controls or classroom data-logging activities.
LCD
LCD stands for liquid crystal display, a screen technology that uses a backlight and liquid crystals to show images or text. It matters because LCD modules usually need a display driver and enough controller pins or a bus interface to send image data.
PCB
A printed circuit board is a rigid board with copper tracks that connect electronic parts without loose wires. For this kit, the PCBs also form the airplane shape, so they are both the circuit base and part of the finished model.
TFT
A thin-film transistor display is a common type of colour LCD used for graphics screens. Knowing a product is for TFTs helps you check that the driver board matches the display’s connector, resolution, backlight, and signalling method.
USB-C
A modern reversible USB connector used for power and data connections. On this product it matters because it can connect directly to a computer as well as to a microcontroller project.
