2. Nhazi

2.1 Njikọ mbụ

Connect the M5Stack AtomS3 Lite to your computer using a USB Type-C cable. The device will typically power on automatically. The on-board RGB LED may illuminate to indicate power status.

2.2 Nwụnye ọkwọ ụgbọala

Depending on your operating system, you may need to install a USB-to-serial driver for the device to be recognized by your computer. Refer to the official M5Stack documentation for specific driver requirements and installation guides for your OS.

2.3 Entering Download Mode

To upload new firmware or programs to the AtomS3 Lite, you may need to place it into download mode. To do this, press and hold the Tụgharịa button on the AtomS3 Lite before connecting it to power (or before turning it on if already connected). Release the button after the device powers on. This procedure allows the device to enter the bootloader for programming.
