The M5Stack Core2 V1.1 is equipped with a 2.0-inch integrated capacitive touch screen. The three dots located on the front of the screen are integral to the touch interface. M5Stack Core2 users have the capability to configure the hot zone mapping to create three virtual buttons through programming, thereby facilitating diverse human-machine interaction experiences. Furthermore, the M5Stack Core2 V1.1 is equipped with a built-in vibration motor, which provides haptic feedback and vibration alert functionality.
The M5Stack Core2 V1.1 is equipped with an integrated Real-Time Clock (RTC) module and a dedicated battery for powering the RTC, which ensures precise timing functionality. Additionally, the AXP2101 power management chip optimally regulates the device's power consumption. The M5Stack Core2 V1.1 features a built-in blue power indicator light, which can be utilized to execute specific functions or display status indications based on the user's application requirements. Furthermore, this device includes a MicroSD card slot, a speaker, and a high-quality I2S digital audio interface power amplifier chip. The expansion board mounted on the rear of the device incorporates a 6-axis Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) sensor and a microphone, thereby enhancing its functionality and expanding its potential applications.

Version Comparison
1. The power management solution has been updated from M5Stack Core2 (AXP192) to M5Stack Core2 v1.1 (AXP2101+INA3221 ). The IDs of AXP192 and AXP2101 are different, and the program uses this as a marker to distinguish between versions.
2. The power indicator light has been changed from green to blue.
3. Added a backup battery for the RTC chip to ensure accurate timing even when the device is powered off.
