That looks pretty interesting, do you happen to have any first hand experience with this? In my experience, platforms like this live and die by the pain of unhandled edge cases, so even if the happy path works fine, it can still be something to avoid.
- HeyLaughingBoy 2y agoI've released projects based on M5Stack. Not much to say: it does what it claims. Getting the right software libraries in place is a minor pain, but all in all it's pretty straightforward as far as embedded development goes. GP points to the home page, so I don't know which of the very many devices was being referred to. My experience is with M5Stack Tough and I recommend it.

- HeyLaughingBoy 2y agoOh, yeah. By "minor pain" I meant it took a couple of hours as opposed to a few minutes.
- M95D 2y agoI'm using 2 M5StickC with ESPHome to automate stuff. ESPHome is very easy to configure. Just check if the add-ons you want are supported or not.
- argsnd 2y agoIt is an ESP32 with reasonably off the shelf components so for hobbyist purposes I think the concern is minimal. Obviously because it’s an ESP32 you can’t expect to run Linux on it.
