M5Stack M5Stack Thread Border Router

🔥 CoreS3 Thread BR — Thread Border Router Kit

The CoreS3 Thread BR is a complete Thread Border Router kit 🌐, built around two main components: the CoreS3 controller 🧠 and the Module Gateway H2 🔗 wireless module.

The CoreS3 acts as the edge‑gateway control core, running user applications and the OpenThread protocol stack 🧵. Powered by the ESP32‑S3 SoC ⚙️, it includes 16MB Flash, 8MB PSRAM, and supports 2.4 GHz Wi‑Fi 📶. It also integrates a 2.0" touch LCD 🖥️, camera 📷, microphone 🎤, speaker 🔊, RTC ⏱️, and a six‑axis motion sensor 🎯, providing a rich set of peripherals for advanced development.

The Module Gateway H2 is built on the ESP32‑H2‑MINI‑1 and supports IEEE 802.15.4 📡. As an OpenThread Radio Co‑Processor (RCP), it handles Thread packet forwarding 🚚 for the CoreS3 controller.

With its powerful hardware and protocol support, CoreS3 Thread BR is ideal for smart homes 🏠, environmental monitoring 🌱, sensor networks 📡, and low‑power wireless nodes 🔋, enabling rapid prototyping and product development.
