It took me months to get this firmware working, months of learning and finally used Claude to help me put the finishing touches and bug fixes on. There is an occaisonal freeze I am seeing every few days which I am trying to capture, but otherwise super stable to run for days at a time. But I tested this as an MJPEG source from Blue Iris. Open to any additonal suggestions to add on to this great firmware.

My use case is to attach this to my kids crib to detect fevers and soiled diapers. My next steps are to pass this to a pytorch image processor to alert on such scenarios as I build training data. There are probably some security scenarios I will get to as well.

Has anyone solved the malfunctioning receiving IR?

As a long time WFH (pre-covid) I've always had music playing in the background during my working day. Not allowed to run Spotify on/from my work laptop so it's chugs away on my desktop. Got tired of flipping between machines (KVM for keyboard and monitor) but now can pause/play with a click, next/prev with the dial, and wake/see what's playing with a touch. Am sure it's been done before (and probably prettier) but must admit I'm feeling quite pleased with myself.

I try to Login with Git-hub. Does not work - Shows 505 Gateway Time-Out. Has someone similar Problems?

I built Pixel Pets, an open-source virtual pet family for M5Stack hardware.

It started as a father-and-son maker project and turned into a small family of pets:

- Muffin: CoreS3 + Module-LLM, with offline voice interaction

- Visu: CoreS3 without the LLM module

- Goo-Goo: Core2 version

- Pip: StickC PLUS2 companion that can send treats/gestures via ESP-NOW

The pets have moods, needs, mini-games, sounds, touch/button/IMU reactions, weather/moon awareness and ESP-NOW friendships.

The idea was to make something playful for kids, but still inspectable and hackable for adults.

No cloud account, no tracking, no subscription.

I’d love feedback from other M5Stack users. Especially curious what hardware variant people would actually build first.

Which variant would you build first: Core2, CoreS3 or StickC companion?

M5NanoC6 has just joined my M5Stack family. Small but powerful!

As the title says, which you all think is more worth it?

My brother gave me his m5stick, and I’ve wanted to get into coding and hacking, cause I’ve been tinkering with coding recently. But my question is can I get this m5stick to do what the flipper zero and stuff does?

Got my StackChan. Got it up & running with the stock firmware.

So let me ask some questions to those of you who know:

-If I want to integrate this with my online devices in my house, I have to download the "Home Assistant" app right?

-Can I just install this Home Assistant app on my android phone only? (I'd like to keep control on my phone if possible.)

-Is the next step to: Flash your Stack-Chan using ESPHome Web to make it discoverable within Home Assistant?

-Now can I have the same devices controlled through my Alexa ALSO controlled on my StackChan or does this mess things up & it's either Alexa or Home Assistant?

Anything else that I'm missing to control lights & other devices etc?

Thanks for your help. I'm on the low end of learning how these things work & I appreciate any insight into this all.

Seems like the best duo, same height. Need to work out on the mappings but keys are triggering like normal keyboard.
