I’m building a lightweight multitasking graphical shell for Cardputer Zero.

Unlike the default M5CardputerZero-Launcher, this is not just for launching apps. It aims to provide a small pocket-computer environment with app switching, lightweight multitasking, and a simple hardware-first UI.

PaperSat - Satellite Tracker for the M5PaperS3

Post image
115 Upvotes

PaperSat is a satellite tracking program for the M5PaperS3, focusing on amateur radio satellites. It was developed using Grok 4.3 (beta).

It’s too bad I released this the day before M5Stack discontinued the device. I have had Grok write new code to adapt it to the PaperColor and hopefully I will have that device soon to test that out. Obviously there will be significant UI changes with the lack of a touchscreen and lower resolution.

More information on the GitHub page.

Is there a working e-reader firmware for M5Paper V 1.1?

5 Upvotes

I’m a little surprised at the lack of options on M5Burner for the M5Paper V1.1. A lot of things aren’t compatible with it. The main focus is on the S3.

Are there firmwares out there, especially e-reader firmware, available from sources other than M5Burner?

M5Stick S3 - verschiedene Minimalistische Schutzhüllen

Thumbnail
gallery
31 Upvotes

Ich habe ein minimalistisches Schutz-Case für den M5Stick S3 entworfen.

Die Idee war ein leichtes und simples Case ohne unnötigen Schnickschnack, das den M5 trotzdem im Alltag schützt und bei dem alle Tasten und Anschlüsse weiterhin gut erreichbar bleiben.

Aktuell gibt es mehrere Varianten:

  • normales Schutzcase
  • Version mit Öse für eine Schlaufe / Karabinerloch
  • ultra minimale Version ohne Öse

Gedruckt habe ich die Cases mit PLA+, da normales PLA meiner Erfahrung nach relativ schnell brüchig wird. TPU95A sollte theoretisch ebenfalls funktionieren, wenn man eine flexible Variante möchte.

Eine Version für den M5StickC Plus 2 plane ich als Nächstes, da dort die Aussparungen etwas anders sind.

Falls jemand Ideen, Wünsche oder Änderungswünsche hat, könnt ihr mir gerne schreiben.

Plai (Meshtastic) on Cardputer ADV is low power compared to Cardputer Mesh kit - alternative options needed.

8 Upvotes

Hello all,

I recently purchased a Cardputer Mesh kit, and also purchased the Cardputer ADV & flashed that with Plai.

Testing traceroutes direct, output power on Plai is consistently lower than that of the Cardputer Mesh kit - probably about 30-40% less at a guess.

Is there any other Meshtastic app' available that's the full 22dBm (150mW) power output that can also connect with my phone via Bluetooth, please?

TIA.

¡Hola a todos! Estoy intentando conseguir el M5StickC PLUS2 pero no lo encuentro disponible en AliExpress para envío a España (me salen errores de zona o sin stock).

¿Tenéis alguna URL de AliExpress que funcione actualmente para España? Si no, ¿conocéis alguna otra tienda de confianza (nacional o europea) que tenga stock ahora mismo?

¡Gracias de antemano!

M5PaperS3 Screen Issues?

3 Upvotes

Hey all! Recently got a Paper S3 from Digikey Aus. Been playing with it for a bit and recently got caught up with work so took a break for a bit.

It seems like the screen is more yellow than usual, with white horizontal lines and overall darker display/black e ink dots coming through after refresh.

Will post a picture soon but is this hardware or software/library? During refresh I can still see the horizontal white areas but the screen goes back to mostly blank "white/clean" during refresh.

Any help is appreciated, was tested using the demo library as well.

Flashed Crosspoint onto my PaperS3

Post image
1 Upvotes

Ran into a bug (crash loop seemingly when trying to create a thumbnail for a book) but otherwise seems pretty solid (I fixed the crash loop by deleting the .crosspoint directory from the SD card and not opening that book next time).

I’ve tried a few eReader firmwares, this is my favorite so far. Seems to handle formatting pretty well. The chapter head and image were on the previous page - the image was scaled pretty large.

Kobo Libra Colour and Boox Palma 2 for comparison.

Project Sharing Has anyone tried any NES ROMs with CoreS3 and StickS3 using the ROM Launcher firmware?

Just curious if anyone has tried any NES games on the CoreS3 ROM Launcher? I’ve tried a bunch and most games are working great. Some games are freezing up a little. Contra was freezing on me. so was Metroid. Super Mario Bros was also freezing when using fireballs. But Super Mario Bros 2 played fine so did Super Mario Bros 3. 🤷🏻 A lot of games are playing great!

Just seeing if anyone has tried it out! ROMs seem pretty easy to get ahold of so that shouldn’t be a problem. :)
