how many floors?



  • how many floors can have the m5stack?

    Behold - the M5Stack Tower !

    Hi Richard,

    I don't think there is a hard limit on the number of "floors" or "stacks" that can be used with the M5Stack.

    Behold - the M5Stack Tower below !! Using a total of 9 stacks, including Battery module , Lora module and 5x Proto modules.

    Note there are some limitations on how the stacks can be used:

    • I would suggest only using one battery module per stack.
    • Some modules use the same GPIO - in this case only one module can be actively used at a time.
    • The GPS and SIM modules use the same GPIO - the GPS continually sends data - so here it should not be used in the stack at the same time as GSM module.

  • @jimit thank you very much

    "hack" one of them and move the rx/tx lines to different GPIO's then use serial1 to connect to that module.
    Then you have 2 serial's and you can use both modules simultaneously.
    When there is will, there is a way :D



  • @calin the bottom stack should be the watch 😂
