M5Stack Cardputer: ESP32-S3 Pocket Computer

Please note that the flash storage on this device is 8MB, not 8GB as I said for some reason in the video. My bad. I My error-trapping gets worse and worse as I age. :(

It's our honour to be named. Thanks, Chris! You are always the best on explaining computing and SBCs. Feel free to reach us out if you are interested in any other M5Stack products.😃

This little gadget is the perfect toy for wasting time in a fun and instructive way! I've inserted an SD card and now have access to the entire applications library, thanks to the M5 menu. I've also bought a few (very affordable) peripherals to analyse ambient air quality, read NFC cards, test a GPS... In short, hours of fun! By the way, your presentation is one of the best on the subject: congratulations!

It's good to see a microcontroller featured on the channel. SBCs get almost all the love here. But there are plenty of cases where microcontrollers will do the job. Maybe this device will lead to people considering microcontrollers in their next project.

I love how clearly everything is labeled! AND LEGO COMPATIBLE

That's pretty hilarious that you managed to track down Michael the Storm Trooper and plug his little noggin into the Cardputer. ha ha I sure hope Michael survived the ordeal.

Thank you for the look-see, Mr. Barnatt. 🙏🏼👍🏼 I have NO idea what I'd use the M5Stack Cardputer for, but that probably won't prevent me from purchasing one. 😋 (AFTER I've completed my Prime Day shopping! 🛒)

I’m amazed by the ‘Cardputer’ & what it can do, running it as a remote control was clever, overall an interesting piece of kit. it’s good to see that it’s got good community support for running lots of different projects using Arduino IDE programming. It was nice to see ‘Stanley’ & ‘Allen the key’ making an appearance & helping out. I could see this being used as a remote control for a model railway (railroad) project, the cost of which is quite reasonable. Excellent Sunday afternoon viewing, thanks Chris :) :_scissors2:

I saw this months ago and the whole concept felt too cryptic to me. Thank you for the introductory guide. Very helpful.

"Yes,but can it play Crysis?" Great video,Chris.

I think this thing has so many possibilities... And I'm sure there will be more updates/upgrades just over time. This is really an exciting new product. Chris, thanks for the video. You've got me thinking here..

Interesting concept. Looks like a Casio electronic organizer! I am always amazed how they can squish such a good hardware into something so small

Greetings. It's a cool toy with nice little display and keyboard that can be used as a remote, play doom, and an emergency credentials storage device. Neat. 😎

Though technically far advanced, I find this reminiscent of the handheld computers of the 80s/90s.

Considering I work for an MSP, I would use this to write an application to store customer credentials on when travelling to remote sites. I would load the Sd card with credentials needed for the remote customer and use a menu to choose the credential and USB connection to have the firmware emulate a USB keyboard to type chosen credentials into the specific customer computer being worked on. Anyone knows that strong passwords are a must especially for customers and this way I would not have to try to remember them.

I always read some of the comments before watching the video so was awaiting the appearance of Michael the Stormtrooper 😂 Another great video, you do a great job of covering so much in a sub 20 minute video. A device 5hat can be a remote, a USB / bluetooth keyboard and so much more deserves a place in "Very Useful Small Computing Things".

Absolutely love my cardputer! Got it a few weeks ago and cant stop messing with it. And it runs doom!

Whoa! Hold the front page! I've never seen "Allen the Key" before. Will smash the like button fo you 🙂

OK, ok.... you've convinced me.... NOW I JUST HAVE TO GET 1 (or 2)
