M5Stack Core2 ESP32 IoT Development Kit
The M5Stack Core2 ESP32 IoT Development Kit represents an advanced second-generation core device within the M5Stack ecosystem. It is powered by the ESP32-D0WDQ6-V3 dual-core processor, ensuring exceptional performance. Equipped with integrated Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, it features 16MB Flash memory and 8MB PSRAM, making it ideally suited for complex IoT applications, DIY electronics projects, and STEM educational purposes.
This device comes with a 2.0-inch capacitive touchscreen (320x240), a 390mAh rechargeable lithium battery, and intelligent power management managed by the AXP192 PMU. Additional features include a USB Type-C port, Grove-compatible expansion, a TF card slot, and I2S audio functionality, which provide versatile opportunities for development.
More functionalities consist of virtual programmable buttons, a 6-axis IMU, a real-time clock (RTC), a vibration motor, and a microphone, making this kit an all-encompassing solution for smart device development, prototyping, and other innovative applications.
Getting Started
-
Power On: Click the power button located on the left side.
-
Power Off: Press and hold the power button for 6 seconds.

3. Warehouse Locations
Our products are stored in both our U.S. and Global warehouses to provide more flexible logistics solutions. On each product's description page, we indicate the specific warehouse location.
