FXChrony_M5STICK_PLUS

Introduction

This repository contains the FX Chrony display code for the M5 Stick C Plus. The FX Chrony display is a simple and effective way to keep track of your shooting data in real-time. With this project, you can quickly and easily get started with using the M5 Stick C Plus to display important shooting information such as your shot velocity, shot count, and more.

Instructions to start with Arduino IDE 'https://docs.m5stack.com/en/quick_start/m5stickc/arduino'

Setting up the Arduino IDE environment for M5StickC

Step 1: Download and install the Arduino IDE

1. Download the latest version of the Arduino IDE from the official website: https://www.arduino.cc/en/software
2. Install the Arduino IDE on your computer

Step 2: Add the ESP32 board manager URL

1. Start the Arduino IDE
2. Go to File -> Preferences
3. In the "Additional Boards Manager URLs" field, add the following URL: 'https://dl.espressif.com/dl/package_esp32_index.json'
4. Restart Arduino IDE

Step 3: Install the ESP32 package

1. Go to Tools -> Board -> Boards Manager
2. Search for "esp32"
3. Install the "esp32 by Espressif Systems" package

Step 4: Select the ESP32 Wrover Module board

1. Go to Tools -> Board -> M5Stack Arduino
2. Select "M5Stick-C-Plus"

Step 5: Connect the M5StickC to your computer

1. Connect your M5StickC to your computer using a USB-C cable

Step 6: Select the correct port

1. Go to Tools -> Port
2. Select the port that your M5StickC is connected to
   • On Windows: "COMx"
   • On Mac and Linux: "/dev/cu.usbserial-xxxxx"
   • On some Linux distributions: "/dev/ttyUSBx"

Step 7 (optional): Upload the Blink example

1. Go to File -> Examples -> 01.Basics -> Blink
2. Click the Upload button (right arrow) to upload the sketch to your M5StickC

Your M5StickC should now be set up and ready to use with the Arduino IDE!
