How to Use

1. Preparation

2. USB Driver Installation

Connect the device to the PC and open Device Manager to install the FTDI driver . For Windows 10, download the driver file matching your operating system, decompress it, and install it through Device Manager. (Note: In some system environments, the driver needs to be installed twice to take effect. Unrecognized device names are usually M5Stack or USB Serial. For Windows, it is recommended to use Device Manager to install the driver file directly (custom update), as the executable file installation method may not work properly). Click here to download the FTDI driver

For MacOS users, before installation, please check System Preferences -> Security & Privacy -> General -> Allow apps downloaded from -> App Store and identified developers.

3. Download the Control Board

Refer to the Basic Environment Setup Guide to complete the IDE and M5Stack board manager installation, and select the M5StickCPlus development board.

4. Install Library Files

Dependency Library Installation: Refer to the Library Management Installation Guide to complete the installation of the M5StickC Plus driver library.

5. Port Selection

Connect the device to your computer via a USB cable. After completing the driver installation, select the corresponding device port in the Arduino IDE.

6. Program Compilation & Upload

Open the example program “Display” from the driver library, and click the upload button to automatically compile and upload the program.
