1 min | 22327#M5Stamp Pico: an ESP32 miniature and powerful module
M5Stack, MicroPython, Product Reviews | 1 min | 22327
M5Stack is a technology company based in Shenzhen China, which specializes in the design, development, and production of IoT development toolkits and solutions, and today they have just launched a new device in its core series: the M5Stamp Pico; and awesomeness comes in small packages.
I thought the M5Stack ATOM would be the smallest core possible, but I was wrong!. The M5Stamp Pico is even smaller and still very powerful. The M5Stamp is the smal...

2 min | 28997M5Stack has just launched a new device in its core series. This time, the company has combined two great things into a great product: a 4.7" EINK screen with touch capabilities and an ESP32 with 8MB PSRAM. As usual, the device is compatible with Arduino, MicroPython, and UIFlow. It only costs USD69,00.
The M5Paper is a fully programmable and portable device, which is an ideal choice for an IoT application (or you can just use it as an E-reader). The touch EINK screen can b...

Cloud Platforms, M5Stack, MicroPython | 12 min | 242725
Winter is coming and the air-quality inside a closed room could be an index used to estimate the amount of aerosols in it, and hence the risk of Covid-19 infection. In other words, a system of CO2 traffic lights could help to spot potential corona-aerosols!
Where there are many people in a room, there is a lot of exhalation (approx. eight liters of air per minute per nose). This air contains CO2 (carbon dioxide). Long before Covid-19, in Germany, the German Environment Agenc...

2 min | 27483#MicroPython: OV2640 camera module extended (M5Camera, ESP32-CAM, etc.)
M5Stack, MicroPython | 2 min | 27483
I've just upgraded the MicroPython camera module for ESP32. The OV2640 uses I2S and two months ago, I wrote/updated the I2S connector to support more boards (check the hardware and software section below).
This time with the help of @joerggollnick, the driver was extended to include the following camera settings:
frame size,white balance,saturation,brightness,contrastspecial effects,image quality,vertical flip, andhorizontal flip.Hardware and Software

4 min | 25822The M5Camera is a camera unit based on ESP32 chip has an OV2640 and also includes a PSRAM. As you may already know, M5Stack is an open-source modular toolkit for IoT developments based on ESP32. There are four versions of this camera (see Fig. 1). I got the M5-Camera B and this is a tutorial to use the camera to generate timelapse videos. However, this module doesn't have a microSD slot. Therefore, the application will publish the photos on an MQTT Broker, so that an MQTT subscrib...

M5Stack, MicroPython | 5 min | 25143
Last week, I've received a brand new M5Stack ATOM Echo parallel to the market launch (see Fig. 1). You might already know the M5Stack company. They make robust and open-source development kits with stackable modules. The kits allow you to make rapid and high-quality prototypes.
Today, the M5Stack launches the ATOM Echo. Check out this video, and see how it works with MicroPython:

2 min | 19096As you may have noticed in my past videos, I've been using a self-made rotating platform to display the projects. In this article, I'll describe and present it to you. It is still in its baby step, and I need a case to put everything inside. However, the code is available. The microcontroller is an ESP32, which is connected to Wi-Fi and hosts a website to configure the angle, speed, and direction of rotation. The ESP32 is programmed using MicroPython. Check out the following video!...
