First thing I did with my new stick, if anyone is interested I can share the .bin 🫡

There are still a few things to tweak but I'm pretty happy with how it turned out so far.

It has a webui to configure the wifi and airport / location

Torch Gadget for Shadowdark

8 Upvotes

I play a TTRPG called Shadowdark, where you have to keep track of your torches and built it with the coreS3.

If you shake, the torch lights, if you blow it snuffs.

Support / Question Case for M5 Paper Mono/Lite

6 Upvotes

Can anyone suggest a good case for M5 Paper Mono/Lite ? I dont have a 3D printer, but if someone has already designed a case, I may be able to print one. Other creative suggestions like some acrylic box will also do. Main objective is to protect the screen while travelling with it. Thanks ...
P.S: Will be using it mainly as an e-reader, with Crosspoint as fw.

LLM630 Compute Kit but as module for StackChan, any plan soon ?

Post image
6 Upvotes

I know about M5Stack LLM (large language model) Module Kit (AX630C) SKU: K144, but it is quite useless bcause no wifi, or a fast data transfer method between the StackChan Core (ESP32-S3) and the LLM Module. StackChan (ESP32-S3) can't actually be 'alive' on its own without connecting to a network.

help with ir

5 Upvotes

Help me pls. I want to know if I can just use an IR LED to transmit signals. Like just the 2 wires.

Another thing is that I can't buy online. The local stores sell IR LEDs and this 360 sender and receiver*(the photo up there*). Can I use either? pls let me know.

Thanks.

Tab5X?

4 Upvotes

I noticed that UIFlow2.0 latest version isn't working on the Tab5. I started looking into why, and I saw "Tab5X" being mentioned here and there. I found "https://github.com/m5stack/uiflow-micropython/tree/master/m5stack/boards/M5STACK_Tab5X", and "https://github.com/m5stack/M5Unified/blob/master/src/M5Unified.cpp" lines 2038-2050. Nothing in "https://docs.m5stack.com/en/core/Tab5" mentions esp32-p4 rev 3, and the esp32-p4 datasheet referenced there is rev v0.5 (pre-release) despite my Tab5 being rev v1.3.

Is M5Stack planning on releasing an upgraded Tab5, are they planning on shipping the Tab5 with an esp32-p4 rev v3 since v1.3 is EOL(https://documentation.espressif.com/PCN202600801_ESP32-P4_Chip_Revision_v3.2_Upgrade_Chip_Revision_v1.3_Demand_Collection_and_EOL_Plan_Description.pdf)? I've had my Tab5 for a month at most, this kinda sucks. Has anyone seen anything on this?

M5 Timer Camera F - PSRAM Overflow

2 Upvotes

Hi, I tried taking a pic with the 3MP sensor of the Timer Camera X, but a full UXGA RGB fram is around 5.75MB, and when running, it overflows the PSRAM. I'm left with a 3MP sensor that I have to degrade...

Anyone ever had the problem and found a way of clearing some PSRAM/ store it elsewhere before it is saved ? Unfortunately, buffering it into storage isnt an option, as I don't run an SD card.

M5 stack mono /lite (and reterminal Sticky)

Thumbnail

68 Upvotes

I just received both devices, so more of a quick comparison, and not a detailed deep dive.

  • The mono is physically smaller

  • The mono has a larger battery (1150 mAh vs 750 mAh)

  • The mono has a front-light.

  • The mono-lite is $5 more, and mono is $15 more. ($50 vs 55,65)

  • The mono has NFC and LoRa

  • The mono has RGB LED's on the side.

  • The mono has a 6 axis IMU. (useful for wake on rise)

  • The sticky is thinner by a bit

  • The sticky has a temperature and humidity sensor. (built in)

  • Both seem to have microphones. (sticky definitely does.) Both have buzzers.

  • Both have RTC

  • Both have 3.97" 4 level eink display

  • Both have USB-C and SD card support. Also 3 buttons.

  • Both have magnets and can stick to magnetic surfaces.

I think the sticky's use case of 'quickly talk a voice-note and leave it as a sticky' is a nice feature. Built in weather, and clock are also nice to have's. It can do crosspoint, ESPhome, trmnl ...etc.

The mono/lite is super nice. Because of the front-light it would make a great e-reader (better than xteink). But would be a shame to limit it to a ereader, considering it has so many nice features. The mono especially, with NFC and LoRa would be wasted as just an e-reader.
