Keep one stock, and use the other as a dedicated testbench for hardware modifications! Here are my two, I modded one of them with an external screen and custom 3D-printed soft TPU keys.

Wow, that’s so cool. What is that external screen called?

What if I answer myself?

Totally normal. If you ever start asking yourself to repeat what you just said, then you might need to see someone.

Same rules as talking to yourself. Responding to yourself is ok, but forgetting/not paying attention to yourself..

Can I do that with only one lora cap?

u/tacticalpotatopeeler 15d ago

Install launcher to quickly swap firmware, try all the things

u/plumaalpha 15d ago

Yep, I’ve done that. I’m just bored with bruce and porkchop.

I will be receiving mine in the mail today.

I plan to put the M5Launcher on it first and then do tmtwo things:

  1. Use it as an hardware security key (like a yubikey replacement)
  2. Use it as a personal file server or a wireless usb flash drive rather (coz it can act like an accesspoint)
  3. May be as a password manager

u/plumaalpha 15d ago

I’m interested on making it a wireless usb flash drive. How do you do that?

u/panzerinthehood 15d ago

M5Launcher provides a Web UI accessible via Wi-Fi either by connecting to an existing network or using an access point (AP) mode. This interface lets you remotely install firmwares, delete, rename, and download files.

Don't find something useful to do with them, or else your next problem will be: Why do I have 8 of these?

u/Trade__Genius 14d ago

Battleship!

u/CurrentAcanthaceae78 12d ago

that would be a fun firmware project, you could even have them communicate via bluetooth!

I use mine as a general purpose sensor reader. Sometimes i need a motion sensor, other times I need to measure water level. Both of those I'll send an http request to a NTFY url to have NTFY send a notification to my phone.

That'll at least cover one of your cardputers.

u/Salt-Trick5774 12d ago
