Stick series

M5StickC – great board based on ESP32 processor

The M5Stick series includes both ready-made microcontrollers and a number of additional robotic and electronic accessories, which are versatile tools for enthusiasts of prototyping Internet of Things and other (IoT) systems. A good example is the M5StickC board, the core of which is an ESP32 series processor. With this module you can use your creativity without limits. It will be possible to intuitively create prototypes of IoT applications in a very short time and in a way much less complicated than normal.

To start this module, press and hold the power button for 2 seconds. The board supports several data rates, from 250k to 115200k. What's more, M5StickC is equipped with an infrared transmitter, 6-axis inertial navigation system and a good quality microphone. Thanks to this technical specification, the M5StickC is used to construct many embedded systems, IoT solutions, e.g. as a controller for intelligent safety systems. On the basis of this board, you can create an easy tool for measuring the permissible safe height for workers on the construction site. M5Stick modules are also used in schools and universities as an effective teaching and teaching aid for classes conducted in accordance with the STEAM philosophy. The power system is a great convenience. The board can be powered from the USB Type-C port as well as from a built-in lithium-polymer battery.

Time of Flight HAT – precise distance measurement sensor

The Stick series includes ToF HAT (Time of Flight: HAT) - a laser distance sensor that you can buy in this category of the Botland store. It is an innovative sensor that measures by emitting a laser beam with a wavelength of 940 nm. Top-quality ToF HAT sensor

guarantees very precise measurements and at the same time a very short time of detecting the delay resulting from the propagation time of the laser beam. The maximum measuring range of the absolute distance is 2 m.

The most important construction element of the ToF HAT sensor is the VL53L0X system. It generates a laser beam using FlightSense technology. The beam is invisible to the human eye. Built-in infrared filters enable precise beam guidance and increase resistance to possible interference, thus ensuring stable and precise measurement.

It is worth noting that the Time of Flight HAT sensor is fully compatible with Arduino microcontrollers and overlays, which will certainly be a great advantage for all robotics enthusiasts. The board can easily communicate via the I2C bus (address 0x29). The ToF HAT module will be perfect for creating applications and programs such as speech and gesture detection, obstacle recognition, precise distance measurement, as well as supporting cameras and photo cameras.

M5Stick smart cameras

The M5Stick series includes not only baseboards and laser sensors such as TOF HOT. In this category you will also find many other useful accessories. Pay attention to the original MStickV AI smart cameras, which were designed to create advanced projects in the field of the Internet of things and artificial intelligence. The device uses a specialized Kendryte K210 chip (RISC-V 64-bit processor and a separate processor for neural computing). The innovative OmniVision OV7740 image sensor provides excellent quality of the captured image. You do not have to worry about the poor quality of external lighting, because the same module will 'capture' the best image even in difficult conditions. It is also able to detect the coordinates of a given target. When it comes to powering the camera, we have a built-in lithium-polymer battery (capacity 200 mAh). Examples of applications in which the M5StickV AI camera is popular are PC simulators, apps. image analysis and facial recognition systems, as well as identification of physical objects.
