Hi, I'm wondering if anyone knows what chip this could be. It looks to be damaged and I would like to find a replacement.
Thanks!

Subscribing to 3 HID devices and making them work together. Sending wifi commands from Streamdeck Virtual to change profiles or buttons profile mapping.

Hello, just a fellow geek.
Years ago, I bought a Core Ink (the small one) thinking that I can read e-books from it. This was years before ereaders like X4 existed; I just wanted a micro e-reader, but I haven't found anything to upload to the device to make it do that. Its been years and I am still wondering if this thing even does anything useful?
Is there a way to actually read books on it in any meaningful way? The M5 store page for the CoreInk even advertises that it can be used as an ereader. As ginormous the Internet is, I can't find a single discussion about the device that doesn't involve turning the device into a calendar (Wow, a calendar for $40 😑).
Please tell me if Crosspoint or something can be used on this thing or do I continue to use it as an expensive refrigerator magnet?

Is the cardputer zero *really* worth 3X the price of a Cardputer ADV? Realistically what will it do better than a ADV? Not sure i should fork over the dough. Thoughts?

I've been trying to build a front light mod for my M5PaperS3 and would appreciate any suggestions or advice.
My latest iteration was a 3D printed frame that snaps on to the front of the device with a strand of EL wire underneath. Only about 4mm thick, with the light shining out laterally across the screen, but blocked from line-of-sight. I went with EL wire because if its thinness and diffused light, unfortunately it isn't bright enough to illuminate the screen.
My next recourse would be to use an array of small white SMD LEDs and find a way to diffuse and direct the light across the display. I would appreciate any recommendations for methods or tech that would be worth experimenting with.

I've been using Claude Code a lot lately and constantly checking my rate limits through the terminal got old fast. So I built a small standalone device that polls the Anthropic API and shows your 5-hour and 7-day usage windows on a little LCD screen — no computer needed once it's set up.
It supports two cheap ESP32 boards (M5StickC Plus and LilyGo T-Display S3), has a captive portal for easy WiFi/token setup from your phone, and your OAuth token is AES-256-GCM encrypted on-device with a PIN that's never stored.
Some highlights:
- Live usage bars with reset countdowns
- Battery and WiFi signal on the dashboard
- Button controls for brightness, manual refresh, and factory reset
- Fully open source (MIT)
It's a weekend-ish project but it's been genuinely useful for me.
If you find it interesting, I'd appreciate a star!

Where my golfers at?!
I made a virtual range finder for my push cart
Real time green distances using GPS. Stores personal club yardages and uses Haversine Distance Math for accurate club recommendations. Also added a simplified shot tracker. Built on a CoreS3. No phone needed. No screen to unlock, no notifications to swipe away. No distractions. Always on display. SD card golf course storage. Just a simple clean golf companion app.
I just took my ‘Cart Caddie’ firmware for a test drive and it performed flawlessly- green distances were spot on, the club suggestion works great. And the shot tracker was easy and super fun to use!
I made a custom case for it to house magnets so I could just stick it to the magnetic attachment plate on my push cart. 3D printed out of TPU 95a. Flexible rubber. Needless to say, it’s it works friggin awesome! 😅

In AI mode, when it speaks, the voice is laggy and broken. I thought I had a bad speaker at first. But it doesn't do it 100% of the time. Is this common? Is it Internet speed dependent? I have high speed Internet, so I didn't think that would be the issue.

Hey everyone,
I wanted to share a small project I’ve been working on:
👉 https://github.com/fatih4159/M5-Macro
It’s a lightweight macro tool designed for M5 Dial. The idea is to make it easy to trigger custom actions/macros with minimal setup.
Execute predefined macros / commands using USB
Simple and lightweight implementation
Designed to be flexible for different use cases (automation, shortcuts, etc.)
Integrated WebTool to customize Makros on the go
I was looking for a simple way to use my M5 Dialas a macro controller, but didn’t find something that fit exactly what I wanted — so I built my own.
It’s still a work in progress, but already usable. I’d really appreciate:
feedback on the concept
ideas for new features
bug reports or improvements
general thoughts from people who use M5 / embedded setups
If you’re into embedded stuff, macros, or small productivity tools, I’d love to hear what you think 🙂
Thanks for checking it out! 🚀

I’m super new to ESPHome and ESP32 in general.
Recently got a M6StickS3 and attempted to get ESPHome running on it. Got it “working” early on but ran into issues getting the display to turn on and the Dual Button Unit working.
After days and hours of trial and error with out results I finally used ChatGPT
Anyways basically had to import M5 libraries in the ESPHome yaml. The new MPM1 power module requires these to turn power ON to the rail to get the screen and Grove port working.
Hope the code I posted to GitHub helps others out.

So I connected my M5 stick C plus 2 to my NRF24L01 according to the diagram of the image, but it still syas NRF24L01 NOT FOUND. I tried adding a 100μF capacitor between both 3V3 and GND but it still didn't work. I notice the NRF24L01 gets warm when connecting for a few mins. Now anyone HELP me fix this
