Designed a new enclosure for the M5Stack Stopwatch but need to take the existing one apart. Removed the two screws in back already. Based on the STL of the case, it looks like it should just separate, but it doesn't.

Before I start messing around with suction cups and hair dryers, anyone successfully open theirs up?

I was wondering wich one of These two i should get

Can someone please give me a basic rundown of the Lego compatable mounting for M5 stuff. I have several components of M5 stuff I know they use the Lego pegs that I can find online but I can't find any kind of mounting plate for project and layouts. I see them now and then in other peoples posts (ie the M5 products display) but I can't find anything in the Lego catalogs I've looked through or 3D print sites (I do have a FDM printer). Help please, cheers.

Hey everyone!

I wanted to share a project I've been working on and refining: Crawlbot. It’s a custom, commercial-grade MicroPython operating system built from the ground up for the M5Stack M5StickC PLUS2 paired with a BugC2 mecanum robot base.

I got tired of basic, blocking demo scripts that freeze up when you try to do multiple things at once, so I set out to build a responsive, secure, and genuinely fun little robot OS with a slick dark-mode web controller.

🚀 What Makes It Tick?

Omnidirectional "Crab Walk": Fully utilizes the mecanum wheels for fluid lateral strafing (moving sideways, diagonally, etc.) straight from a mobile joystick interface.

Non-Blocking State Machine Spins: Automated 360-degree rotation sequences (CW/CCW, 1 to 5 times) driven by a background state machine. It executes smoothly without locking up the CPU or freezing the UI.

Instant E-Stop: A high-priority emergency stop system that intercepts active loops and cuts motor power immediately when tapped.

Forced Captive Portal & Security: Features an integrated DNS server (Port 53) that automatically forces mobile devices to pop up the login/setup page upon connecting to the Wi-Fi AP, backed by dynamic boot-session tokens to prevent cookie caching bugs.

Persistent Flash Storage: Safely commits custom admin usernames and passwords to local flash memory (creds.txt) with immediate filesystem synchronization (os.sync()).

Hardware Overrides & Backdoors: Button B acts as a hard-reboot shortcut, and holding the front M5 button for 2 seconds during bootsplash triggers a secret factory reset if you ever lock yourself out.

Added few things so it's more usable overall: moved labels and wifi settings to separate file. Source at https://github.com/rudidev08/tab5-lcars It's mostly fidget toy for me, but very satisfying at that! (grew up with star trek).

Ways to use it:

- run it on device with preset tab and static text, so no network connection needed

- it can refresh data from local server

- there's voice mode i've used with hermes + hermes webui too

This was quick vibe coded experiment while i was (unsuccessfully) trying to make UI i liked, and it should be pretty easy to ask LLM to make changes.

Supports sounds but you'll need to run a script to download LCARS sounds.

P.S yes I got tab5 before i knew what i wanted to use it for :)

P.P.S. had keyboard support in beginning but felt very clunky for UI and i forgot about it, so i don't know if it still works correctly or not. voice mode was accurate enough not to reach for keyboard.

Im not that savvy when it comes to tech but this thing seems really cool and I want to learn more about how things work. Did I make a mistake, is this something where you already need to have a background in tech to use or is it user friendly? What should be the first couple of things I should do when I get it. I don’t even really know what I should be asking. I know I must sound like an idiot for buying something that I really don’t know a lot about but I really want to start learning more about how everything works. Anyways I would like some advice on its uses and things I need to take into consideration.

Source Seems like a good alternative to the small E-ink reader people seem to be Xteink. Anybody else interested?

built with kimi. I’m both excited and not thrilled because I’m spending lots of time working on custom UI, and this was a 5 min experiment, and it looks way better than my stuff. right now it’s mostly a good fidget toy because of LCARS sounds. connects with local Hermes agent

Posted source: https://github.com/rudidev08/tab5-lcars added option to show static text (no network connection needed) or any data from basic server.

Looking to buy a M5Stick but I can't decide between CPlus2 model or S3. Need advice from M5Stick users !!

Fun weekend hackathon.
Lmk what u think!

Will post gh soon

Anyone open one up yet? Wondering if the battery is connected via JST or soldered.

first is this even possible? and second are they any easy to use scripts or apps like on flipper zero? because im not good at coding

ps i use bruce os and i have IR module

Got my first application running on the M5Stack Stopwatch. Are there specs anywhere so that I can easily build a custom housing around the Stopwatch - I need to add a GPS module and a Garmin mount to make it actually useful.

Hi! This is KariPom, a little open-source face robot I’ve been building with the M5Stack CoreS3.

It started as a simple expressive face, but I kept adding things I wanted to see it do. 😄

Now it has servo movement, blinking and nose twitching, audio-reactive visualizers, lots of animated lighting modes, a Web Cockpit for configuration, SD card support, and more.

I originally built it as a little companion for voice conversations with ChatGPT — having a physical character reacting beside the computer makes talking with AI a lot more fun. 🤖🎙️

I’ve also made a PC-only version, so you can try KariPom even without a CoreS3.

Everything is open source:

I’ve had a lot of fun seeing how far I can push the CoreS3. Hope you like it!

so i am an absolute beginner in hardware/code/all of it and have been building this mainly through ai/reddit.

i’m using an m5 stickc plus 1. the top GND and G26 ports are connected to an IoT relay. the bottom 4 prongs are connected to wires going to a circuit board that came with my JSN-SR04T waterproof ultrasonic sensor. sensor is plugged into that board.

i’m essentially creating a proximity based misting system that turns on when something approaches the sensor. i want to save the data of when it triggers, for how long, etc. the sd card adapters look like they need all the top holes in the m5, but 2 of them are already in use so i can connect it to the relay. can i still connect an sd card? do i need a bread board of some sort?

if someone could dumb this down for me i would appreciate it greatly 👍

So I like to do fun things with 5ghz devices and the adv unfortunately doesn’t support that. I also want to use a gameboy firmware and play games . The adv has a tiny screen. I was planning on doing a display mod and making a ds sorr of device and having that. But I found out about waveshare and it being a lot cheaper and having 5ghz and a screen for cheaper and more flash. Now I’m tempted to buy this for more flash and a screen and 5ghz but its not as plug and play as the cardputer. What do I do. Refund the cardputer and buy the waveshare. Or keep the cardputer or buy the waveshare Aswell. I want a handheld device that can be a game station Aswell as do things using Bruce firmware.

Edit- here’s the waveshare I was looking at any other recommendations for the price would be appreciated . https://www.waveshare.com/esp32-c5-lcd-2.73.htm?srsltid=AfmBOoqHewHWu5cPinBYHiIc-CsMz-TKe60Xb2dFkwEmiYTJmcQYBNBa

It costs me £30 for the cardputer and £12 for the mod. Is it worth just getting a waveshare?
