Choosing this model

Read the product documentation

Sourcebotics selection notes, based on the published documentation.

Application fit

  • Desktop programming and small-object experiments with M5Stack 2023.

Integration planning

  • Resolve the electrical conflict before connection: specification/manual table says 12 V / 5 A; manual §4.2 says 8.4 V / 5 A. Verify the supplied adapter/nameplate and version-specific instructions.
  • The official Python API uses MyCobot280 or MyCobot280Socket. Match Atom/Transponder firmware and SDK version; no hardware or SDK test was performed.
  • USB Type-C is the documented PC connection. TCP/IP and MODBUS support does not establish a built-in Ethernet socket.

Selection considerations

  • Manufacturer-source review: 2026-09-15 (Asia/Shanghai). Technical specifications/manual give 800 g, while the official store gives 850 g for M5 2023; a single mass is not confirmed.
  • The 250 g payload has no verified pose/duty curve here. Confirm combined tool/workpiece loading.
  • The official $649 base reference excludes shipping and applicable taxes/tariffs. Gripper/base/AI-kit bundles differ; Sourcebotics remains POA.
  • The official store's 2023-09-30 support deadline applies to M5 2020, not M5 2023.
  • The displayed myCobot 280 family reference image includes Raspberry Pi branding. It is not evidence of the quoted M5Stack 2023 controller, included accessories or delivered configuration; confirm the configuration and product photographs with the quotation.
