I’ve been working on a little project for the M5Stack Cardputer Adv, and it’s reached the point where I’m happy to make it publicly available.
It’s called M5Knife, and the idea is straightforward: turn the Cardputer into a useful, self-contained collection of utilities, rather than dedicating it to one particular job.
