Powerful ESP32-S3 Controller and Expanded Memory
The main controller of the M5StickS3 is the powerful ESP32-S3-PICO-1-N8R8. This provides 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi communication support, alongside 8 MB of flash memory and 8 MB of PSRAM. This expanded resource capacity enables the execution of more demanding programs and complex data processing with greater efficiency.
Enhanced Audio for Interactive Experiences
The M5StickS3 maintains its acclaimed HMI (Human-Machine Interface) features, including a 1.14-inch display, a 6-axis IMU sensor, and programmable buttons. A notable upgrade is the significantly enhanced audio circuit. The combination of an ES8311 codec, a high-sensitivity MEMS microphone, and an AW8737 power amplifier achieves both clear voice capture and high-fidelity audio output. This advancement facilitates interactive experiences such as AI voice assistant dialogues and speech recognition.
Furthermore, the device includes IR transmit/receive functionality and a built-in 250 mAh lithium battery. These features allow for a wide range of development scenarios, from intuitive UI-driven smart home control to the creation of innovative AI devices, empowering engineers to bring their ideas to life.
