What I worked on this week – Gianluca Nieri

After seeing the @hackaday post the other day I just had a little play with the ESP #buspirate variant on my #M5Cardputer.
What do you do before bed? Me, ah well I make a weird computer from a #pico running #picomite and an #m5cardputer running a Microcom serial monitor firmware... totally useless but a fun distraction! Could be the most ridiculous #cyberdeck
New 433mhz units arrived! Pretty much plug and play with Bruce firmware, although the i2c hub unit turned out to not work the way I thought it worked. The biggest discovery is what _isn't_ using that frequency - I now officially have no idea how my own bedroom lights work!

So this arrived. Feels really solidly built, and took 5 minutes to set up M5Launcher. Now to try out the assorted firmwares! #cardputer #m5cardputer
And then, just in case people want them and don't have a printer, or access to one, I've put up some of the #M5Cardputer rugged lanyard add on plates, complete with the technics connectors and the oversize bolt. https://www.tindie.com/products/concreted0g/m5cardputer-rugged-lanyard-plate/

A 3D printed rugged add on for an M5Cardputer allowing a decent lanyard to be fitted.

A little more prototyping on the rugged lanyard attachement for the #m5cardputer it now is the same depth as the official M5 addons and the retaining bolt is snugly recessed. Might print a few and chuck em with the correct bolt and technics connectors on my @tindie shop and I'll upload the model somewhere as well!
First little prototype addon for the #m5cardputer #cardputer I felt the tiny lanyard attachement point was way to flimsy and so have added a robust PETG lanyard plate using both the technics connectors and an extended version of the existing case bolt. Really rugged and can receive total overkill paracord! New #wearable unlocked! :)
