M5Stack Environment Unit Kit - 8 in 1
- Brands M5Stack Code: M5S-U-ENV-KIT
This M5Stack Environment Unit Kit - 8 in 1 is a multi-Unit feast with 8 M5units (modules) inside (ENV, IR, RGB, PIR, ANGLE, HUB, EARTH & LIGHT).
Every M5stack development kit can be programmed through Arduino IDE, WebIDE UIFlow, Micropython, and Blockly, simplifying the development process for those requiring a joint hardware and software solution. Not only does M5stack have far-reaching IoT applications in industry, agriculture, and home, but it also empowers students to learn to code in STEM classrooms.
This M5Stack Environment Unit Kit is specifically designed for STEM education. The pack includes 8 M5units + grove cables. Having all those goods, together with the M5Stack controller and Blockly program platform, allows the school students to explore the engineering world, making their own IoT product, and implement brilliant ideas into real life.
Note:
ENV is an environment sensor that can be used for temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure measurement. Build with DHT12 and BMP280.
DHT12 is an upgraded version of the DHT11 humidity temperature sensor, fully downward compatible, more precise, and add an I2C interface. BMP280 is an absolute barometric pressure sensor specially designed for mobile applications, offering the highest flexibility to optimize the device regarding power consumption, resolution, and filter performance.
RGB is an LED Unit that includes 3 individual LEDs. Each one can display any color based on the RGB value. One extra feature of this Unit is the extension, which means you can have multiple RGB Units wired together.
This is a very useful piece in STEM class, students can program it to realize some cool applications. For example, a traffic light.
PIR is a human body infrared unit. It belongs to the "passive pyroelectric infrared detector". It detects the infrared radiation emitted and reflected by the human body or object. When infrared is detected, the output level is high and it takes a while. Delay (high during the period and allow repeated triggers) until the trigger signal disappears (restores low).
Note: This Unit has 2s delay time
ANGLE is a rotary switch Unit, simply having a 10K potentiometer inside. This unit can be used for continuous signal dialing control, such as volume, brightness, or motor speed.
A potentiometer is a manually adjustable, variable resistor with three terminals. Two terminals are connected to a resistive element, the third terminal is connected to an adjustable wiper. The position of the wiper determines the output voltage. The out voltage is captured and converted by AD on ESP32 on portB.
EARTH unit is a Soil Moisture Sensor for measuring the moisture in the soil and similar materials.
The soil moisture sensor is pretty straight forward to use. The two large exposed pads function as probes for the sensor, together acting as a variable resistor. The higher moisture that is in the soil means the better the conductivity between the two so that the sensor will result in lower resistance, and a higher signal out. You can read the moisture in the soil by ADC. Inside this Unit, there are extra potentiometers to change the measurement range.
LIGHT is a light intensity sensor unit with an adjustable photoresistor.
A photoresistor is a light-controlled variable resistor. The resistance of a photoresistor decreases with increasing incident light intensity, and vice versa. It exhibits photoconductivity which makes it possible to detect the luminescence, based on voltage, and use an AD to convert the digital data.
