M5StickC PLUS2
Strap a full IoT computer to your wrist (or your project) in minutes. The M5StickC PLUS2 packs an ESP32, color LCD, 6-axis IMU, microphone, IR transmitter, buzzer, and a 200mAh battery into something barely larger than a USB stick. It runs UIFlow, Arduino, and MicroPython, so you pick your workflow.
Project idea: Build a wearable posture monitor that buzzes when you slouch, using the IMU to detect spine angle and the buzzer for haptic feedback.
Key Features

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the M5StickC PLUS2 battery last?
With the 200mAh battery, expect 1-3 hours of active use depending on WiFi activity and screen brightness. Deep sleep mode extends standby to several days. For longer runtimes, M5Stack sells external battery bases that snap onto the bottom.
