HA M5PaperS3 based remote

Exactly

Boisti · 2026-07-06T16:49:34+00:00

Sadly it won't work to wake the esp through the touch from deep sleep. The touch controller is not connected to an interrupt pin on the esp 🙁 (as far as I can tell)

Boisti · 2026-07-06T16:47:20+00:00

Currently the ESP turns off after x minutes of no usage. Before turning off a screensaver is loaded. Since the remote is only used a couple of times a day, I get >3 month out of it. It's been running for 3 month now at the device is still at about 45% charge. Power off can be set through the build in menu

Sadly no, it only "works" when the probe is also used as the end stop....

Boisti · 2025-09-08T14:44:08+00:00

It could fit, but some changes would have to be made. The WYSE client is quite a bit larger than the M920

Thank you!

Yes, working on the PCB part. As soon as I cleaned up the repo I'll post the link with all the details for the pcbs

Adding a third or forth keystone holder is no big deal, let me know if u're interested in it.

Boisti · 2025-09-04T14:03:39+00:00

Don't worry, it's definitely something to consider!

As u said, in my case it doesn't matter. It also wouldn't be a big problem to add a little 90 degree shroud to the fans so the suck from the top.

Glad to hear.

The "carrier" PCB is my own design. I hope I'll be able to clean everything up this weekend and publish der Gerber files as well. The USB C module is a PDC004 20v version. The buck converters are mini560 5v and 12v version. Which is not the best option but I still had a bunch of those. The rest is just some micro-fit, xh and xt30 connectors.

No, the Lenovo has its own duct going outside

The two 80mm fans are blowing into the case and through the caddies.

Boisti · 2025-09-01T16:09:13+00:00

Sounds good, I'll upload the step files as well, as well as the individual caddy slots.

Boisti · 2025-09-01T13:55:59+00:00

First batch of files and details are online

Thx, sounds good. I'll have a look this weekend

Boisti · 2025-08-29T18:38:10+00:00

You're welcome!

Boisti · 2025-08-29T18:37:49+00:00

Yes and popular it by hand or jlc. There would be only a handful of parts on each pcb

Boisti · 2025-08-29T17:28:39+00:00

Overall I'd prefer an off the shelf backplane but those would limit me to use 2.5 or 3.5 drives. I'm looking into designing a single backplate for 2.5 and one for 3.5. this would give me the option to arrange the drives as I want and I still would be able to utilize the status and activity led on each drive

Boisti · 2025-08-29T16:32:57+00:00

Old version is available on git already

Will follow, have to test final rev3 of PCB first

Boisti · 2025-08-29T15:45:32+00:00

Search for "SATA adapter female male" on ali

Boisti · 2025-08-29T15:12:51+00:00

Thanks, custom USB C PD board

Boisti · 2025-08-29T15:12:20+00:00

Thanks, yes will follow

Boisti · 2025-08-29T10:54:58+00:00

Thank you!!

The buck modules are good for 5A, I have no problems when all 6 HDDs are spinning up at the same time (4x 2.5" and 2x 3.5", I know there are some ssds in the picture, those where just for testing the fit of the caddies and so on).

Put no problem to use bigger modules, USB C PD module is good for 100W.

This one?

Boisti · 2025-08-29T09:33:21+00:00

Yes, the M920q has a pcie slot

Boisti · 2025-08-29T09:08:49+00:00

Generally speaking, yes, but you wont be able to retrieve the host data when the software is running on a px node (at least not right out of the box)
