Added few things so it's more usable overall: moved labels and wifi settings to separate file. Source at https://github.com/rudidev08/tab5-lcars It's mostly fidget toy for me, but very satisfying at that! (grew up with star trek).

Ways to use it:

- run it on device with preset tab and static text, so no network connection needed

- it can refresh data from local server

- there's voice mode i've used with hermes + hermes webui too

This was quick vibe coded experiment while i was (unsuccessfully) trying to make UI i liked, and it should be pretty easy to ask LLM to make changes.

Supports sounds but you'll need to run a script to download LCARS sounds.

P.S yes I got tab5 before i knew what i wanted to use it for :)

P.P.S. had keyboard support in beginning but felt very clunky for UI and i forgot about it, so i don't know if it still works correctly or not. voice mode was accurate enough not to reach for keyboard.

Source Seems like a good alternative to the small E-ink reader people seem to be Xteink. Anybody else interested?

built with kimi. I’m both excited and not thrilled because I’m spending lots of time working on custom UI, and this was a 5 min experiment, and it looks way better than my stuff. right now it’s mostly a good fidget toy because of LCARS sounds. connects with local Hermes agent

Posted source: https://github.com/rudidev08/tab5-lcars added option to show static text (no network connection needed) or any data from basic server.

Fun weekend hack.
Uses tailscale gateway connection and fully custom openclaw config. 11labs for stt and tts.

Will post gh if you guys want.
Lmk what u think!

Really like the Beeline Velo 2 form factor but want proper cycling computer capabilities (radar, cadence, heart rate, etc.) Used the M5Stack Stopwatch as the foundation for the project to try and build a proper cycling computer.

So far, BLE radar, cadence and heart rate are working. Need a GPS module but should be able to get speed and route recording working in short order.

Here’s the UI in action. Radar on the left bezel, cadence on the right bezel.

Hardest part will actually be building the enclosure to hold the GPS and terminate in a Garmin mount. Anyone have any STLs to work from that can house the display and GPS together?

Not long ago i made lyrebird — tl;dr a synthetic bird voice mimic.

and not long after that i converted another one of my projects into a web flasher, so anyone with a cheap yellow display can run it.

i had a bunch of M5Stack Core S3 and a Fire lying around and never knew what to do with them, so i turned them into a portable lyrebird.

repo: https://github.com/sha5b/M5Stack-Lyrebird

the sound of the Fire is a bit noisy in the video — i broke that one.

The Web Flahser is for Fire and Core S3

Hey Community, a few month ago, I postet a custom resin case for my Cardputer, it was kinda janky and bubbly and with no labels.
After many try a fails, I mastered the process and did my own labeling, let it print and here they are, my custom Cardputers, waiting for a new Owner.

What color should I do next? A dark one?

EDIT!!
Big thanks to the community! 🙌
I was absolutely overwhelmed by all the inquiries about my cases, to the point where I was forced to build a little "request website" to keep up.
For anyone interested: I’m more than happy to build custom cases or complete units on request! However, please submit your inquiries through my website so I don't lose track of all the messages.
At the same time, I’ve put together a tutorial on how to swap the case.
Feel free to reach out to me anytime!
Best,

Hi! This is KariPom, a little open-source face robot I’ve been building with the M5Stack CoreS3.

It started as a simple expressive face, but I kept adding things I wanted to see it do. 😄

Now it has servo movement, blinking and nose twitching, audio-reactive visualizers, lots of animated lighting modes, a Web Cockpit for configuration, SD card support, and more.

I originally built it as a little companion for voice conversations with ChatGPT — having a physical character reacting beside the computer makes talking with AI a lot more fun. 🤖🎙️

I’ve also made a PC-only version, so you can try KariPom even without a CoreS3.

Everything is open source:

I’ve had a lot of fun seeing how far I can push the CoreS3. Hope you like it!

New Arrival Alert!

One finger rules them all, directions, that is. A one finger touch direction pad can be useful for anyone struggling to use four key WASD.

touchWASD-BT turns an M5Stack Tab5 (ESP32-P4 with touch screen) into a Bluetooth keyboard controlled by a circular touch controller on the Tab5 screen. No phone, tablet, or WiFi is needed. Touch a direction on the circle, and the corresponding WASD or arrow key(s) are pressed on your computer — no software to install on the target machine.

If you do not have time to mess with source code and compilers, use the web serial flasher at https://controllercustom.github.io/touchWASD-BT. The only supported board is the M5Stack Tab5.

The source code is at https://github.com/controllercustom/touchWASD-BT.

Hi everyone,

I have released BKLVA Pocket DAW 0.3.3: Midnight Circuit for the M5Stack Cardputer ADV.

Pocket DAW turns the little ESP32-S3 computer into a standalone four-track music workstation. You can record sounds, chop samples, build drum patterns, play synths, create sample instruments and arrange complete ideas directly on the device.

This is the biggest update I have made since version 0.2.37.

The main new feature is Drum16, a 16-slot drum sampler controlled from the Cardputer keyboard.

Each pad can use:

• A sound recorded directly with the built-in microphone
• An imported WAV file
• A slice copied from the main Sampler
• One of the original synthesized drum sounds

Each pad has its own level, tuning, decay, choke group, start and end points, fades and filter. Drum16 also has separate Grid, Focus and Waveform views.

Tracks can now have independent lengths of 1, 2, 4, 8 or 16 bars. This makes it possible to run a short drum loop against longer bass, chord or sample sequences.

Changing track type is also non-destructive now. Each track can remember separate Loop, Slice, Synth, Drum16 and Instrument setups. You can switch to another type and return later without losing the original notes, patterns or sound settings.

Synth tracks can be frozen into lightweight audio playback by pressing Fn+X. This reduces processor use while keeping the mixer controls and effect sends active. Pressing Fn+X again restores the editable Synth track.

Other improvements include:

• Proper multi-note chord recording
• Improved quantized MIDI timing
• Safer Note Off handling to prevent hanging notes
• Per-note gate lengths for recorded Synth performances
• Tempo-synced Delay with triplet and dotted divisions
• Per-track Delay and Reverb sends
• Updated Mixer and Output FX pages
• Independent track Mute, Solo and Freeze controls
• USB MIDI input and output
• Separate USB phone-audio sampling mode
• Better CPU, SD and streaming diagnostics

A fresh installation now opens with Midnight Circuit, a complete editable demo song using Drum16, Slice, Acid Bass and Pluck chords.

It is a real sequencer project, not a prerecorded demo. It only appears when no existing project is found, and it never overwrites an existing song.

Everything runs at 44.1 kHz on an ESP32-S3 with 8 MB flash and no PSRAM.

The complete firmware, illustrated manual and Mac flasher are available here:

Pocket DAW is still an evolving independent project, so I would really like to hear what you think. Please let me know if you find any problems, make something with it or have ideas for what should come next.

Hey everyone,

Is anyone here using the M5Stack Tab 5 outdoors in humid or rainy conditions?

I’m planning an outdoor setup and looking for a reliable way to make all the exposed ports and connectors waterproof. Since moisture and rain will definitely be an issue, I'm trying to figure out the best approach—whether that’s a custom 3D-printed enclosure, rubber port plugs, or a specialized case.

Has anyone built or designed something for this yet?

Would love to see your setups, 3D print files, or recommendations!

Thanks!

it has a custom CardC programming language, InPost and Żabka apps, a fully working qrcode rendering system and WebUI for remote control.
