Active830 in stock

Overview

The M5Stack Atom Lite is a compact development board based on the ESP32-PICO-D4 chipset, measuring only 24x24mm. It features a dual-core Xtensa LX6 processor running at 240MHz with integrated Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, making it an ideal choice for space-constrained IoT applications.

Why Choose This Part

This board provides a high density of features including an RGB LED, a programmable button, and 4MB of flash in a tiny 24mm square package. The inclusion of a USB-C interface and Grove-compatible pins simplifies prototyping and peripheral integration without complex wiring.

Applications

IoT Node
Acts as a smart sensor node or controller in a larger network using Wi-Fi for cloud connectivity.
Wearable Peripherals
Small form factor and low power consumption allow for integration into smart clothing or portable devices.
Infrared Remote Controller
Utilizes the built-in IR transmitter to control legacy consumer electronics like TVs and air conditioners.
Smart Home Bridge
Serves as a compact gateway or interface for I2C and UART based home automation modules.

Getting Started

Develop using the Arduino IDE, ESP-IDF, or UIFlow graphical programming environment. The board connects via USB-C for power and programming, and its 6 GPIO pins are easily accessible for connecting external sensors or actuators.

Also Consider

ESP32-S3-WROOM-1 Espressif Systems - A more modern module alternative with enhanced AI instructions and more memory if the ultra-small form factor is not required.
Arduino Nano 33 IoT Arduino - A similar small-footprint IoT board that fits into the standard Arduino Nano ecosystem with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
