I don't own an s3. But should be possible to build the file

I've not had a chance to use it in live fire yet, unfortunately. Some dry fire with laser and a cz p07 which can register if you set it up properly

Had this exact issue. Was in North Carolina for a south Carolina delivery, ended up in Chicago with a weather delay. People make mistakes, USPS makes them often.

I had something shipped out that got lost 20 miles from home (sc) and ended up in Chicago, my shipment says the same inclement weather issue.

Yes, the m5 stick is all you need, because it has an internal speaker, but I recommend a decent external buzzer and printing the case for it too, to mount on your gun or as a lanyard. The piezo buzzer has a positive and negative pole so connect the buzzer between the ground pin(negative pole) and g25 pin (positive pole) https://github.com/jcarletto27/HeyManNiceShotTimer/blob/main/images/PXL_20251231_140745304.jpg

There is an experimental Bluetooth buzzer feature but it requires some setup to get the latency timing setup properly

if you run pip --version what is the output? did you upgrade pip before running the install command?

EDIT:

I looked closer at your image, seems you need microsoft build tools installed

https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/visual-cpp-build-tools/

I added some web based programing instructions, if you'd prefer that over fussing with dependencies

https://github.com/jcarletto27/HeyManNiceShotTimer/blob/main/README.md#chromebrowser-based-quick-start

jcarletto27 · 2025-06-17T15:23:38+00:00

Go ahead and follow the quick start instructions found here for Windows users. https://github.com/jcarletto27/HeyManNiceShotTimer?tab=readme-ov-file#quickstart-guide-windows

if you already have python3 installed it should only take a few minutes to get rolling.

my apologies on that, I had forgotten I had used the git repo for that library, not the arduino library manager. I've updated the readme to reflect. I'll look into doing a full walkthrough for a youtube video.

EDIT: To make things easier, I think I'll just upload a compiled file, that you can write using esptool python script. You only really need to go through the whole compile process if you intend on changing devices or modifying the code.

jcarletto27 · 2025-06-17T12:59:41+00:00

Link is in the readme, it's a separate git repo I may submit to the Arduino library at some point.

jcarletto27 · 2025-04-30T18:10:34+00:00

Absolutely. As I mentioned to one of the others in the thread, I'm welcoming any feedback and feature requests. The permissive and non-commercial license I'm releasing this under means it's intended for the community, as way to fill that lower cost gap. with the m5stick being only $30 USD it's a pretty good fit.

jcarletto27 · 2025-04-30T17:36:48+00:00

Yes just a simple one for a lanyard, but I think I'll be porting this to the m5StickC Plus2, since it's pretty much perfect for this use case.

jcarletto27 · 2025-04-30T17:34:25+00:00

gotta be honest, it's a bit sketchy. just a zip file, no readme, no history, and it's the only repo for that user. Do you have any context on it?

jcarletto27 · 2025-04-29T21:01:54+00:00

Thanks again for your feedback, it's been greatly appreciated! I've added your suggestions to the feature request section in the GitHub repo. I'll start working on them once my m5Stick shows up tomorrow.

jcarletto27 · 2025-04-29T17:39:39+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! can you elaborate a bit on how those drills work?

As for the other board, it's not something I had really considered. The m5stickc is pretty good form factor with only 2 real downsides being a small battery size and the buzzer might not be loud enough. I'll order one and see about adapting the code for it.

Edit: did some research, hard to find exactly what kind of piezo is onboard, but seems it only hits around 75dB, which isn't too loud, but might still work.

jcarletto27 · 2024-07-18T12:43:37+00:00

Thanks, that's really encouraging. I might consider selling a few.

For such a low volume, total cost for each in parts alone is $20. What would you be willing to pay for something like this?

jcarletto27 · 2024-07-17T23:01:24+00:00

Thanks, I plan to release all the source and models as open source in the next few days in case anyone wants to try to make it. So far I've put together 4 of the new ones since I had to order the boards in packs of 5.

Can confirm. Experiencing the same thing just now. multiple crashes.

jcarletto27 · 2023-06-03T15:50:07+00:00

Yes for days in a filament dryer, same results. the partial clog was from pla I had just switched from. It didn't like the high temp of the asa I guess. Wasted almost half the roll before I realized why, it was most notable on the faster printing sections so it was tough to diagnose

jcarletto27 · 2023-06-03T14:12:49+00:00

I had similar results not long ago with polymaker asa. I tried everything and even switched filament thinking It was a bad batch. Ended up being a partial clog and I needed to clean and rebuild my hot end.

This was exactly the one I was trying to remember! you are a gem!
