ESP32 IoT Starter Kit with Display, Sensors, RGB LEDs, and 6 Expansion Units
The M5Stack K006-V27 M5GO IoT Starter Kit v2.7 is an ESP32-based development kit designed for IoT learning, STEM education, prototyping, and smart-device development. The kit combines the M5GO-CORE1 v2.7 controller with six functional expansion units covering environmental sensing, motion detection, analog input, infrared communication, RGB lighting, and I2C expansion. Its modular design provides a practical platform for building connected projects without requiring extensive external hardware.
The M5GO controller is powered by the ESP32-D0WDQ6-V3 with dual Xtensa 32-bit LX6 processor cores running at up to 240 MHz. It integrates 16MB Flash, 520KB SRAM, 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, a 2.0-inch 320 × 240 IPS display, MPU6886 6-axis IMU, analog microphone, speaker, 10 programmable RGB LEDs, three customizable buttons, and a 500mAh lithium battery. Three Grove interfaces provide I2C, GPIO, and UART connectivity, while the M5Stack stacking interface supports further hardware expansion. Development is supported through UIFlow1, UiFlow2, Arduino IDE, ESP-IDF, and PlatformIO.
