Description

M5GO IoT Kit is a development kit in the M5Stack family that targets STEM education. In addition to the main controller M5GO, the kit includes 6 Units with different functions and various LEGO bricks and other accessories.
M5GO not only provides abundant hardware resources, but also offers a wealth of teaching videos, textbooks, technical documents, and more. It plays an important role in STEM education for students of all ages.
The kit comes with the cloud-based WebIDE UIFlow programming platform. By pushing code through the network, students can truly experience the power of the Internet of Things. Multiple programming options are supported, helping students gradually transition from block-based coding to understanding actual source code.
As a kit 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 creative ideas into reality. Students are free to explore the world of engineering, build their own IoT products, and integrate brilliant ideas into real life.

A perfect set for beginners!

It was love at first sight for me when I got my hands into this kit. The development tools are so easy, I don't have kids but I would certainty recommend this as a gift for children. It reminds me of those science kits for kids. But I'm 35 and I find it super practical for prototyping! It's a great combination of ESP32 boards, the build is great, the magnets and LEGO connectors are a great idea. I hope you guys keep developing more kits like this one!

Kind of happy until

Solid construction, a step up from the usual maker stuff, but the number and size of annoyences.

- Crisp LCD image, but back light creeps through the white plastic.
- Solid button press feel, but the A button gets stuck under the screen cover.
- During lots of processor activities a constant buzz noise comes from the speaker.
- While trying UIFlow power functions, messed up the IP5306 configuration, now it no longer works from the battery.
- Tried to fix the IP5305 configuration, but can't because the only datasheet is in chinese and I don't know chinese.

In summary it is a product that still needs to mature, but it shows lots of promise. It is great when you do something and it is actually usefull and something that you really want to use. The side RGB led bars are really fun to use in projects!
Keep up the work.

M5GO IoT STarter Kit

Been playing with this kit for about a month now and absolutely love it. Using VS Code and MicroPython to code and it's been a great experience. Currently developing a Loitering Monitor so that the device will detect someone loitering in an apartment lobby and notify the superintendent via SMS message to investigate. Once complete, will probably port it to an M5StickC.
