M5Stack M5GO IoT Starter Kit V2.7

The M5GO IoT Starter Kit v2.7 is a cost-effective IoT starter development kit. The kit contains a Core Controller M5GO plus six expansion units with different functions (sensors/actuators/splitters).

The core controller M5GO has an Espressif ESP32 chip, equipped with two low-power Xtensa® 32-bit LX6 microprocessors, a main frequency of 240MHz, and a 16Mb FLASH memory for a larger program size.

It also supports Wi-Fi, which can be used to build smart wearable devices, smart homes and other applications.
