M5Stack Arduino IDE Setup in 5 minutes

M5Stack is a versatile modular stackable development kit. It is based on the ESP32 and can be programmed in the Arduino IDE amongst other programming languages. Let's see how to get set up.

**as pointed out by user Jerry Petrey there are some errors in the code include# should be #include
and all instances of LED_BUILTIN should be replaced with ledpin

**Now M5stack Library appears directly in the Arduino library manager on searching M5Stack

Thanks, this was enormously helpful to restore Factory settings to someone new to M5

Wow, I can't believe how totally cool the M5Core2 is, thanks!

Your example blink program in the video seems to have a couple of errors - it has include# instead of #include and not all occurrences of LED_BUILTIN were replaced by ledpin but after that everything worked fine. Nice video!

i really disappointed of my m5stack core its not working with the arduino and i try to do everything and i try to connect with the m5stac website and forum and no one helping me

IM having trouble? It will not even give M5stack in the examples.
It shows it in gray but not black like in your list on the video. I have no option to select it in the examples and I went back through and double checked everything I could think of. Please help? guess 5 minutes has turned into 2 hours now.

Hi, im currently using m5stack fire. When i run the factory test, it says error compiling for board M5Fire, even though the COM port is correct, and the board selected is M5Fire. Is there a way to solve this?

Hello, good morning? I have the PPS module 13.2 from M5STACK, to use it with Arduino environment do I need to do the same thing as in this video? I can't find any videos related to PPS 13.2.

Im failing at the first step. USB drivers are installed, but Arduino won´t recognize the M5 Stack at all... Board manager and Libraries are installed. Im running Windows 10 here...
