4. Mmalite (Ntọala)

To begin using your M5Stack ATOM Lite, follow these steps:

4.1. Ịgba ọkụ na njikọ mbụ

1. Connect the ATOM Lite to your computer using a USB-C cable. The device will power on automatically.
2. Upon connection, the RGB LED may illuminate, indicating power.

4.2. Nwụnye ọkwọ ụgbọala

The ATOM Lite uses a standard USB-to-Serial chip (typically CP2104 or CH9102F). Most modern operating systems will automatically install the necessary drivers. If the device is not recognized, you may need to manually install drivers:

• For Windows/macOS/Linux, search for 'CP2104 driver' or 'CH9102F driver' online and download from the official Silicon Labs or WCH websaịtị.

4.3. Mmepe gburugburu ebe obibi Mbido

The ATOM Lite supports various development platforms:

• Arduino IDE: Install the ESP32 board package in the Arduino IDE. Refer to the official ESP32 Arduino documentation for detailed instructions.
• MicroPython: Flash MicroPython firmware onto the device. Tools like `esptool.py` can be used for this.
• UI-FLOW: M5Stack's block-based programming platform. Download the UI-FLOW desktop IDE or use the web ụdị.
• ESPHome: For Home Assistant integration, visit esphome.io for pre-built projects and flashing instructions.

5. Basic Ọrụ

5.1. Using the Built-in Button

The ATOM Lite includes a programmable button (GPIO39). This button can be used for various user inputs, such as triggering events, changing modes, or confirming actions within your programmed application.

5.2. Controlling the RGB LED

The integrated RGB LED (connected to GPIO27) is a versatile indicator. It can be programmed to display different colors and patterns to convey status, alerts, or other visual feedback.

5.3. Infra-Red (IR) Communication

The IR LED allows the ATOM Lite to send infrared signals, enabling control of IR-compatible devices such as televisions, air conditioners, or other consumer electronics. Programming libraries are available for encoding and decoding IR protocols.

6. Njikọ Peripherals

6.1. HY2.0-4P Interface

The HY2.0-4P connector provides a convenient interface for connecting M5Stack's Grove-compatible modules and other peripherals. This connector typically includes power (5V), ground, and two data lines (e.g., I2C, UART, or digital I/O).

6.2. External GPIOs

The ATOM Lite exposes additional GPIO pins (G19, G22, G23, G26, G32, G33) for direct connection to custom circuits, sensors, and actuators. Refer to the pinout diagram (Figure 5) for specific pin assignments and capabilities.
