The PLUS module is an advanced M5 module that comes with a 500mAh Li - Po battery. It features a programmable gear potentiometer, an IR transmitter, extended PORT B (GPIO Port) and PORT C (UART Port) from the M5 core, and a microphone soldering pad. Powered by MEGA328, adding the PLUS module to your project can significantly upgrade your hardware resources. The communication protocol used is IIC (0x62). Key features include a 500mAh battery for long - lasting power, a programmable gear potentiometer for flexible operation, an IR transmitter for infrared communication, and the addition of PORT B and PORT C for extended connectivity. The kit includes 1x M5Stack PLUS Module and PLUS Firmware. An example code for Arduino IDE is provided, though it's incomplete. Click the link to get the full code.

Using the PLUS module is quite straightforward. First, make sure the 500mAh battery is charged. Connect the module to your project using the PORT B and PORT C for extended connectivity. The programmable gear potentiometer can be adjusted according to your needs. You can use the IR transmitter for sending infrared signals. When using the Arduino IDE, you can start with the provided example code, but remember to click the link to get the complete code. For maintenance, keep the module in a dry and clean place. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or moisture. If the battery runs out, recharge it using a suitable charger. When programming, double - check your code to avoid errors and ensure smooth operation.
