- Chaje: Connect the M5Stack Core2 to a 5V USB power source using the provided USB Type-C cable. The device will begin charging.
- Pouvwa sou: Press and hold the power button (usually located on the side) for approximately 6 seconds to turn on the device.
- Anviwònman lojisyèl: The Core2 supports various development environments, including UIFlow, Arduino, and MicroPython. Choose your preferred environment and set up the necessary drivers and IDE on your computer.
- First Program: Refer to the official M5Stack documentation for guides on uploading your first program or firmware to the Core2.
6. Operasyon Enstriksyon
The M5Stack Core2 is designed for flexible operation depending on your application. Here are general guidelines:
- Entèraksyon ekran taktil: Navigate menus and interact with applications using the 2-inch capacitive touch screen.
- Bouton Vityèl: The three virtual buttons below the screen can be programmed for various functions within your applications.
- Bouton fizik: The physical RST (Reset) button can be used to restart the device. The power button can be used for power cycling.
- Modil ekstèn: Connect compatible M5Stack modules and sensors to the GROVE port to expand functionality. Ensure proper connection and power supply for external modules.
- Itilizasyon kat SD: Insert a microSD card into the designated slot for additional storage. Ensure the card is formatted correctly (e.g., FAT32).
7. Antretyen
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your M5Stack Core2:
- Netwayaj: Sèvi ak yon twal mou epi sèk pou netwaye aparèy la. Evite itilize pwodui netwayaj likid oswa materyèl abrazif.
- Depo: Sere aparèy la nan yon kote ki fre epi sèk, lwen limyè solèy dirèk ak tanperati ekstrèm.
- Swen batri: Avoid fully discharging the battery frequently. If storing for extended periods, charge the battery to about 50-70% to preserve its lifespan.
- Mizajou mikrolojisyèl: Regularly check the official M5Stack websit la pou mizajou firmwèr pou asire aparèy ou an gen dènye karakteristik yo ak koreksyon pinèz yo.
- Pwoteksyon fizik: While durable, avoid dropping the device or exposing it to excessive force or moisture.
NAN. Depanaj
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your M5Stack Core2.
- Q1: What is the maximum supported capacity of the SD card, and why is there no response when the SD card is inserted?
- Theoretically, devices based on ESP32 support up to 16GB. We recommend using a SD card model SDSQUNC-016G-ZN6MA. Ensure the SD card is properly inserted and formatted.
- Q2: Using the battery in either of the battery ports on the USB unit or the Core2 forces the unit to stay powered on continuously. Any attempt to shut down using the side button causes the device to restart after.
- We have found that the reason is that the filter capacitor capacity of the USB 1.2 module is too large. If you still need to use batteries to power the Core2 + USB 1.2 solution, to avoid frequent restarts, the following two solutions can be adopted:
- Remove the filter capacitor.
- Replace it with a smaller capacity filter capacitor (10uF is recommended).
- Q3: How to extend the Core2 with an extension module?
- You must remove the original bottom and battery of the Core2, then you can stack another module extension.
