M5AtomMatrix

It creates a naked M5AtomMatrix. That is you do not need to drag and drop the drivers for the features of the device. You will upload a config file and you are done. 

While small it has all the technical characteristics to control many sensors and actuators. It is small in RAM so you cannot run memory intensive applications. The 4MB flash memory is enough for storing the TipControl OSµ plus many macros and events. It will not run OTA. If that is an requirement you should consider the M5AtomLiteS3 which has 8MB Flash.

Please keep in mind that pin 25 and pin 21 can’t be used as it is reserved for the internal i2c port which controls the mpu6886.
