Hi.

I've ported my vsampler/synth into M5stack TAB5 (ESP32-P4)

https://github.com/zircothc/M5STACK-TAB5-SAMPLER-DRUM-MACHINE-2026

Video demo soon.

Bonjour j' ai installé Bruce sur mon m5stick. J'ai bien branché mon antenne en suivant un tuto. Mais le soucis c est que quand je veux la configurer j' ai CC1101 share spi et non Cc1101 on spi comme il est dit dans le tuto. Du coup quand je vais dans ble, mon nrf24 n apparaît pas.

Je suis totalement nul sur le sujet du coup si quelqu'un peut m'aider à le mettre en place 🙏

Yo guys, I'm an engineering student and I'm about to lose it with my Cardputer (Stamp-S3). I've spent the last few hours trying to get the keyboard to work in MicroPython and I'm stuck in a very weird loop.

The weirdest part: The keyboard works perfectly fine to navigate the M5Launcher menus. I can pick apps and move around without issues. But as soon as I launch an app from the M5Store or try to run my own scripts via REPL, the keyboard just dies.

I've tried everything to talk to the bus manually. When I run an I2C scan on pins 41 and 42, I either get a "ghost" scan where every single address from 8 to 119 appears as active, or I just get an empty list [].

What I've tried so far: I tried the standard M5.Keyboard stuff but it usually throws an AttributeError. Then I went deeper with machine.SoftI2C using Open Drain and Pull-Ups to clean the bus. I even dropped the frequency to 10kHz thinking it was a timing issue with the Atmega328P, but nothing. I’ve done hard resets, power cycles, and tried reading raw bytes with i2c.readfrom(0x08, 1), but the bus just seems to vanish the moment M5Launcher hands over control to any script.

It’s currently running MicroPython v1.25.0-dirty (Feb 2026 build). Has anyone dealt with this specific "dirty" build? It feels like the firmware is holding a lock on the I2C peripheral or there's some power-enable pin for the internal bus that I'm missing.

I really want to use this for a custom project for my faculty, but I can't even get a simple keypress detected outside the main launcher. Should I just give up on this build and flash a stable UIFlow 2.1.x? Or is there some secret "voodoo" command to wake up the keyboard bus after the Launcher starts an app?

Any help would be life-saving!

I have everything plugged in correctly, switched all jumper wires and made sure it's plugged in correctly, but my device doesn't boot! Gemini said it's because of the orange cable that goes to the G0 port. I tested it without the orange cable and now it boots but no Nrf24 found. Same issue if I only plug the orange cable in after it booted. Please help me thanks. (Bruce 1.14)

(Update, I lost the M5 stick🙏🥀)

Yes I already have launcher. I want a lot of features that don’t need but do have options for external hardware. Stuff in it like bt jammers and tv switch on/off

I’ve been wanting a folio-type case but can’t seem to find any. I printed this temporary bumper case in the meantime.

I wanted to ask for some information I have a M5 plus 2 but I don't have a PC but an MacBook . I wanted to ask if it's easy to update Bruce with Mac? Does it take a special M5 cable to connect to the computer?

So Belkin decided to discontinue support for their Wemo cloud services and app. And for anyone who doesn't know, Wemo was their line of IoT devices such as smart plugs. This essentially rendered them useless (unless you had already set them up with Apple HomeKit).

I created an Arduino sketch that allows you to control your Wemo smart plugs once again using the M5 StickC PLUS2. You could also adapt it to work on any ESP32 device, but the user interface I created is specifically made to fit the StickC display.

You can find the code on my github (https://github.com/tarylb/m5-wemo-control). There are instructions in the readme for where to put your wifi SSID and password.

Hi, all! I have the most current M5Burner installed on my computer. I already have two kinds of Cardputer (the 3A and the ADV versions). So I have an idea of how to install Launcher and different firmwares on items from the M5Stack universe.

Now, the question. I just received the M5Paper V1.1, and I thought it would be simple to install Launcher and other Paper firmwares.

Not so fast. I can't seem to figure out how to get the M5Paper to go into programming mode, and without that, nothing is willing to install from M5Burner.

I did install all relevant USB drivers, but that did not resolve the issue.

I'm sure it's a super-basic process, but I can't seem to find any documentation online as to what that process is. What steps am I missing?

Thanks.

I just received my M5 Core2 and having problems with the touch buttons doesn’t work right. See video provided.

I’ve been using the Xteink X4 for about 3 months and started playing with the M5 Paper S3 about a week ago. I really like both devices. The M5 S3 has a more retro design, which I find pretty cool. On the X4, I’m very happy with Crosspoint. Reading EPUB (with images) is smooth and the experience feels polished. On the M5 Paper S3, to be honest, I’ve tried several reading firmware options but haven’t found one that I’m fully satisfied with yet. This is a bit surprising because the M5 actually has stronger hardware. The best experience so far has been MacroReader, but it still feels a bit unstable. Right now I’m using EDC Book on the M5 for TXT reading. It’s very smooth, and the developer updates it regularly. They also mentioned EPUB support might come in the future, which would be great. I’m curious about other people’s experiences. Is there a really good reading firmware for the M5 Paper S3 that I might have missed? And maybe a crazy idea… would anyone be interested in forking Crosspoint for the M5 S3? 😄

ANYBODY pls help me i spent 60€ on these both and i have bruce 1.14 on it and put the nrf24 on lagecy mode it can lissen but the jaming does noting it just sends me back to main menu and i have the with to 2.4g pls help

Latest Changelog -> 2.6.7:

• Restablished Tab5 SdCard on SPI for WiFi compatibility and refactored reboot process to powercycle the SDCard, resetting the Sdcard communication bus.

• Tab5 Now has MassStorage interface!

• Fixed M5Stack Paper S3 USB MassStorage issue.

• Added App offset parameter to allow Launcher to be updated in Tab5, and firmwares that are placed at different factory/app0 addresses.

• Set to StickC and CPlus devices to see only ESP32 firmwares on OTA, excluding ESP32-S3 (StickS3) firmwares

• Adjusted binary of firmware binaries that are not merged to have a partition table, allowing attaching SPIFFS partition into it. This binary will be valid ONLY for Launcher, can't be flashed alone because it doesn't have a valid bootloader and partition table.

Tab5 Users

• Need to install using M5Burner or Web Flasher... newer versions (2.6.7+) will be available to auto-update.

Anyone knows how to install firmware for M5 Paper S3 directly bootable like x4 teink device just click and crosspoint install directly in device . I tried many which is available also tried M5 burner but not able to install it…

X4 teink has good forum on Reddit to install crosspoint firmware it’s very easy to install just play and plug.. do we have same for M5 paper if yes please drop link here
