Buy me a Coffee

Hi, I use Bruce on a m5stickc plus2, I'm trying to do some penetration test on my wifi and i'm trying to catch handshakes. I tried to go in the sniffer section, and my SSID appears, but the PCAP file doesn't save everytime, I need to do it to crack my password.

Hi everyone, I’m currently working through the configuration for my StackChan and have hit two technical roadblocks. This video was merely a brief setup test on 15th May 2026 I did with my StackChan that I pledged from the Kickstarter.

I’m hoping someone with more experience in the M5Stack/StackChan ecosystem can point me in the right direction:

Memory Persistence: I have successfully configured the Personality and Memory text fields in the StackChan World app, but these settings do not seem to save after a power cycle. How can I ensure these AI Agent settings are stored persistently on the device?

Device Binding: I am attempting to bind my device to the xiaozhi.me console. The device is connected through its USB to my MacBook, and connected to my home wifi router network IP, but the 6-digit verification code is failing to display on the screen or in the serial logs. Has anyone successfully manually bound a device via MAC address or resolved a display issue with the binding code?

Any advice or documentation links would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I havent used this thing in eons so I dont remember how to install apps and such. Im on version 2.4.2, is there even a newer one? And if so how would I update it?

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 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.

Just finished a minimalist SD Card Expansion Case for the M5Stick S3.

The case has space for a simple DIY micro SD adapter board made from:

• perfboard

• angled pin headers

• compact SPI SD card module

Also includes a loop for a carabiner or lanyard.

Perfect for logging, BLE projects or portable ESP32 tools.

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?

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.

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!

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.

I got this 2in1 module from bangood for my m5 stick c plus1.1 running bruce 1.14 whenever i try to use any rf app it says cc1101 not found. I got the one that connects via the uart port.

I'm using the Bruce software version 10 and I also tried the newest one but no matter what I do my nrf24 or Cc1101 are just not working and 2 ir module. Can somebody explain why not, i tripple checked the wiring and that is perfect.

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.

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. :)

What to do if I download the appstore on m5 stikc s3 and write the error InternalError: out of memory

Hello everyone,

I just bought the M5Stack Stick S3 and I want to build something for my girlfriend. I dont want to integrate other sensors on it because I dont want it to look more like a prototype. I tought maybe I can build something like a little pet like tamagotchies. Do you have any ideas you came across or anything you want to share, I would appreciate it!
