M5StickC PLUS ESP32-PICO Mini IoT Development Kit

An ultra-compact, ESP32-based IoT development board designed to accelerate hardware prototyping and smart device creation. Packed into a tiny, wrist-wearable form factor, this fully integrated controller provides makers and educators with a complete suite of wireless communication capabilities, onboard sensors, and a vibrant colour display right out of the box.

Traditional breadboard prototyping often results in a tangled mess of jumper wires, making portable or wearable projects difficult to realise and fragile to deploy. The M5StickC Plus solves this by packing everything, including a built-in 120mAh LiPo battery and power management unit to a 6-axis IMU and microphone into a single enclosed unit, allowing you to focus purely on writing code and testing your logic.

This is the device of choice for the Claude Desktop Buddy - a great way to track the status of your Claude session (idle, celebrating, or waiting).

Features

• Visualise data instantly and clearly on the upgraded 1.14-inch, 135 x 240 colour TFT LCD screen, which offers a sharper resolution and an 18.7% increase in viewable area over previous iterations.
• Skip the complicated wiring and start building immediately with incredible feature density, combining an ESP32-PICO-D4 chip, 6-axis IMU, RTC, microphone, buzzer, and IR transmitter inside a pocket-sized 48 mm x 24 mm footprint.
• Expand your hardware capabilities without a soldering iron thanks to native support for official M5Stack modular add-ons via the onboard GROVE port and extendable pin sockets, guaranteeing compatibility and reliability.
• Prototype in the software environment you prefer, featuring out-of-the-box support for Arduino, MicroPython, and the highly accessible visual block-builder, UIFlow.
• Deploy standalone, untethered projects leveraging the built-in AXP192 power management unit and internal 120mAh rechargeable battery.
