This wonderful device was generously presented to me and I couldn’t resist checking out it’s contents.
❗ Even though M5Stack provide instructions how to open the device on their site, some mangling of the case will occur when trying to open it.
This is a well built ESP32 devboard. I’m not a big fan of the connector placement, and I have my doubts about the low-power capabilities of the board, but physically and aesthetically it’s a very well done device.
The highlights
- Two piece plastic case
- A trio of magnets, to allow the device to be stuck to a grippy magnetic surface
- A mainboard containing most of the ICs
- An e-ink panel which is stuck to a touchscreen panel
