M5Stack Capsule Kit with M5StampS3

The M5Capsule is an efficient, multi-purpose development board powered by StampS3. It features sensors, power management, and storage options.

Equipped with a BMI270 IMU, the board offers solid motion tracking and altitude control capabilities. It also includes an SPM1423 microphone sensor for basic audio tasks like recording and sound recognition. The additional infrared sensor broadens its use in simple remote control applications and basic smart home setups. For storage, there is an SD card slot for data logging and storing media.

There is also a built-in buzzer for auditory feedback. The M5Capsule’s design focuses on energy efficiency, featuring low standby power consumption and a small, built-in 250mAh battery, with the option to connect an external battery for longer use. It also comes with an RTC8563 real-time clock module for basic timekeeping.

It includes a Proto socket for connecting additional sensors or boards, adding another level of customisation. For ease of use, it has mounting holes for easy installation and an embedded magnet for simple attachment.

Note:

• Power On: The device can be awakened and powered on either by pressing the ‘WAKE’ button or by the RTC-triggered IRQ signal. After the wake-up signal is triggered during program initialisation, set the ‘hold’ (GPIO46) pin to a high level (1) to maintain power. Otherwise, the device will return to sleep mode.
• Power Off: When not externally powered via USB, the device can be turned off by pressing the RST button. Alternatively, during program execution, setting HOLD (GPIO46) to 0 will achieve a power cutoff shutdown.

Lithium Battery Shipping: Due to courier restrictions, this product can only be shipped within the United Kingdom. With this item in your cart your shipping options will be limited and may cost more than our usual rates. Why?
