I’ve had success with Sandisk 16gb and 32gb sd cards formatted with Fat32. Hopefully this helps someone.

I bought a pile of stuff from M5Stack. I'm mostly on RPI Pico/MMBasic, but the modules hook up fine.

Other than the Demo App, what _programs_ run on this "computer"? To me it's more like a micro controller than a "real" tiny computer. I wouldn't know what to use it for and I don't know where to find actual programs that are made by the community...

Try partitioning the card for Linux ex. Ext4 since it is an arm chip. Not sure, just a thought

[@0xKruzr]

this is IMMEDIATELY giving me ideas. I have a lot of stuff I want to do with the solar-electric boat I built w/r/t digital throttle control, autopilot, etc. and this whole ecosystem is very interesting for that.

Cool little device! I have been playing around with the ESP32-C3 chip recently, they are quite versatile. I wonder how easy it is to develop your own applications (the REPL seems to be Python, perhaps they're using CircuitPython?)

yt really doesn't want me to watch this

I want somone to design a firmware off the game scum with pictures of it would look good on there's and fork like spam ble and wifi pwning and all the lil tools mp3 player and photos put all the good stuff in one firmware that works good on this device

[@hamood932]

Nice and cheap device. The physical quality of the device is great and pretty sturdy. However I don't think the firmware available on the device is anything special. You have to use m5stack burner to upload the firmware, a lot of them made and imported by the community, which is nice. But for 30 dollars, it's really hard to complain, overall I think it's a nice device to tinker with

i was really looking forward to playing with this. apparently i easily bricked it in less than an hour. all i was doing was trying to flash firmware. now all ot does is constantly try to connect to usb.
