M5Stack Atom Matrix ESP32 Dev Kit v1.1
M5Stack Atom Matrix ESP32 Dev Kit v1.1 is an ultra-compact ESP32 development board built for IoT nodes, miniature controllers, interactive indicators, smart device prototypes, and embedded automation projects. It combines the ESP32-PICO-D4 controller, a 5 x 5 RGB LED matrix, a programmable button, infrared transmission, and a 6-axis BMI270 IMU inside a tiny 24 x 24mm cube-style enclosure.
This v1.1 version upgrades the motion sensor from MPU6886 to BMI270, improving motion detection accuracy and response speed for applications like gesture sensing, motion-triggered interaction, orientation feedback, robotics, wearable prototypes, and compact wireless controllers. It also supports Arduino IDE, UiFlow1, UiFlow2, ESP-IDF, and PlatformIO, making it easy to use for both beginners and experienced developers.
Features
- ESP32-PICO-D4 dual-core controller with built-in 2.4GHz Wi-Fi.
- 5 x 5 RGB LED matrix using WS2812C 2020 x25 for status display and interaction.
- BMI270 6-axis IMU for more accurate motion and attitude sensing in the v1.1 revision.
- Programmable button hidden below the RGB matrix for custom trigger logic.
- Infrared transmission for compact IR control and smart device interaction.
- HY2.0-4P expansion port for external modules and peripheral integration.
- USB Type-C for power, programming, and fast development workflow.
- M2 mounting hole for easy fixed installation.

Other Content
What changed in v1.1
The key hardware update in this revision is the move from MPU6886 to BMI270. That makes Atom Matrix v1.1 a better fit for applications that need more stable motion sensing, faster response, and more reliable orientation data.
LED brightness note
When using the FastLED library, the recommended brightness value is 20. Avoid driving the LEDs at excessively high brightness for long periods, because heat can damage the LED matrix and the acrylic cover.
Pin and interface expansion
The board exposes expandable pins and includes the HY2.0-4P Grove-compatible port, which makes it easy to connect sensors, communication modules, and other compact M5Stack ecosystem peripherals.
