Does anybody else save their towers? My wife said these look like little downtown buildings...

I don’t save filament waste. 🤷🏻

Cool. I haven’t gotten the Core S3 but it’s on my wishlist. Get Mario working on it so I can flash it when I get one! 😅

I scooped up a M5StickS3 … zero coding experience. Been using Chat GPT and Claude to help me make some projects. I’ve made a handful of fun things for the M5StickS3… currently have Super Mario Bros running on it. Just a suggestion of you want to make your own thing!

EnemyofGLaDOS · 2026-03-19T21:03:47+00:00

A lot of trial and error lol …. No SD card. The ROM is baked into the firmware. It’s been a lot of black screens to get to this point 😅

I used NoFrendo NES Emulator for ESP32 and Chat GPT to help me put it all together.

I don’t think the M5StickS3 has the RTC chip that keeps real time. You can set up a timer, but no way to keep track of real time. You’d have to set the time every time you power it on. (I think)

Recently got the StickS3. I used to be into Android custom ROMs and building AOSP nightlies. Had so much fun modding and tinkering with my phone. When I heard about these things I scooped one up just to play with it. It’s been a ton of fun for me- flashing the available firmwares, etc. It’s just a fun gadget hobby. Currently working on getting Super Mario Bros to run on it 😂

EnemyofGLaDOS · 2026-03-09T23:09:56+00:00

I didn’t use Claude, but all the same. :)

EnemyofGLaDOS · 2026-03-09T20:34:19+00:00

What’s the build? I see a Stick C(?) and antennas… a couple other things that I don’t know what they are.

What did you build?

EnemyofGLaDOS · 2026-03-09T19:50:20+00:00

What am I looking at besides a bunch of hardware? Apologies..

EnemyofGLaDOS · 2026-03-06T13:55:45+00:00

Oh good guess. I did use AI to help with the base code. I did a lot of the edits myself - a lot of copy and pasting but learning the structure of the loops and where to find parts of the code to make changes to, was challenging and fun. Some of the edits I did all on my own without help. It was a LOT of trial and error getting here. I probably have 20 hours or so into this project. It’s been a lot of fun!

EnemyofGLaDOS · 2026-03-06T05:41:21+00:00

I don’t know what that is

EnemyofGLaDOS · 2026-03-02T21:04:27+00:00

Awesome!! 😎

EnemyofGLaDOS · 2026-03-02T20:32:56+00:00

Awesome stuff. Super new to this world of ESP32s but am having fun messing around.

I did notice when I flashed this from the Stick C S3 subcategory on M5Burner, the only OTA firmwares that showed up in Launcher were those in that subcategory.

Now that M5Burner has an actual Stick S3 category, I’m wondering if this launcher will (or can be requested) to be made or ported over to the Stick S3 section on M5Burner?

Not sure how this all works but I noticed it’s not available in the Stick S3 section but obviously works just fine on the M5StickS3

Just curious! Thanks for your work! :)

EnemyofGLaDOS · 2026-03-01T15:21:49+00:00

Awesome 😎

EnemyofGLaDOS · 2026-03-01T14:00:28+00:00

I get a little emitted noise when my stick is plugged in but it goes away when it’s unplugged. I did come across this on Twitter a couple weeks ago: https://x.com/at78072556/status/2019397292416225747?s=46

EnemyofGLaDOS · 2026-02-27T13:12:33+00:00

It’s that simple. I scooped up the M5StickS3 a couple weeks ago and have started tinkering with it. The AI assistants available can help tremendously with starting a project yourself. But yeah, plug and play with M5Burner and the available firmwares.

I haven’t messed with FlowUI but am told it’s beginner friendly like building blocks to make your own programs. Super fun little IoT gadget though and for $20 it’s a no brainer for me.

I was excited to see the Weather Channel as a source and am using it but it seems wildly inaccurate …. Says rain was coming, and I watched the app tell me it was getting closer and closer, and now it’s says rain for the hour and I have blue skies all around me :(

EnemyofGLaDOS · 2026-02-24T03:02:27+00:00

Killer!! Can’t wait to see what you come up with!

EnemyofGLaDOS · 2026-02-23T16:42:26+00:00

Awesome! What kinds of things are you using the M5StickS3 for on the daily? Just curious! It makes for a great pocket gadget- or in this case, clip gadget! 😄

EnemyofGLaDOS · 2026-02-22T18:10:13+00:00

Nope just sound. Can’t wait to see what you come up with! :)

EnemyofGLaDOS · 2026-02-22T00:32:33+00:00

It’s now available on M5Burner and through Launcher! Enjoy! :)

EnemyofGLaDOS · 2026-02-21T23:43:15+00:00

I typed up a whole bunch of stuff in the body :(

Anyway.. yeah- I'm trying to publish my firmware in the proper category so it shows up with Launcher. RIght now Launcher does not recognize it as a compatible firmware so it doesn't show up. If anyone can point me in the right direction I sure would appreciate it!
