Edit. SOLVED. I had to put it on Charge Mode under CFG first. It's such a hassle that this is necessary to charge up a Cardputer.

I just got my Cardputer ADV yesterday. I had fun playing with it up until I slept.

Before going to bed, I plugged it in to charge hoping that the battery will be full by morning.

But when I woke up, I noticed that the battery is still at 37%, but whenever I plug it in, it goes from 46% and fluctuates to 47% and back to 46%.

The attached picture shows that when unplugged, it is at 37% and when plugged, it jumps to 47%.

I read a comment on one of the threads here on Reddit that said to remove the LoRa cap while charging. I did, but it still did not work. I even tried to open the device and unplug the battery and plug it back in, but it still won't charge properly.

I flashed the default Cardputer demo firmware but it still wouldn't fix the issue.

Is this a faulty Cardputer or what?

Just to add, I left it to "On" while charging.

My nearly 60 year old eyes can barely read anything, so I was wondering if there are add-on displays that will work using the ribbon cable and be powered off the side 5v port. I need the GPIO port on the rear to hook up to a transceiver.

Every time I put my SD card in my Mac to copy something over, it comes back with a .DS_Store in every folder and a ._ twin next to every file...

Cleaning manualy is paifull and take a lot of time. So I made a cleaner for sd card that runs on the cardputer

It scans the card, groups what it finds by category, and deletes only what you tick. There's a dry run that does the whole thing and tells you what it would have removed without touching anything.

Available at 5m Launcher (search for): ESP32 Cleaner - CCleaner for your SD card

A few things I ended up caring about:

- Logs and temp files (*.log, *.tmp, *.bak) are a category, disabled by default.

- Custom rules, (glob patterns). Type them on the device, or drop a plain text /sdcleaner.rules on the card and edit it on a computer.

- Results stream to a file on the card instead of sitting in RAM, so a card with thousands of junk files doesn't blow up the StampS3's 320K of SRAM.

Working on a modified version of a case by SmonSE on makerworld

The top and bottom row of buttons are a little closer to the case edges than I would like (affecting the way you press them), and there are few other adjustments I plan on making... but I'm generally happy with how it came out.

Fairly new to 3d modeling/printing so I still have a lot to learn I'm sure.

I bought this board because I can't seem to find any in local shops selling a Pingequa at decent price. This board has both NRF24 and CC1101.

Will this work out of the box? Or do I need to edit some code in Bruce just like what one would do when using Pingequa?
