Hello, as you mentioned you might need LoRa / 4G or another communication module together with GPS, once the balloon blew up and fall down, you'll need to find your setup so you'll need GPS. the Core device has many sensors which are very useful pre-built such as gyro and accelerometer which you might find very useful (also SD card to log the data) I would suggest going with Core / Core2 device and one of the COM.X modules.

Regarding the batteries, you are right. those are LiPo batteries and they don't do well in cold temperatures, you might need to find another solution for them to replace them with. in general, I think Core will be perfect for you due to the communication module but if you'd like to tincker a bit and connect things more manually, you could go with Stick-C or ATOM device as you mentioned.

Hello, have you tried putting to sleep mode? how long you had the timer camera F ? it sounds like the battery is drained, have you tried to charge it for about an hour or so?

Hello, have you tried other operation system? perhaps you could burn the test firmware and see what's going on and if m5burner can find it.

Hello, please feel free to offer such feature in "future list" and we will consider adding it in the future based on customer demands for such application, currently, unfortunately, we don't support such a function.

Have you tried UIFlow? you could drag and drop elements into the screen to create interactive menu.

Hello, currently unfortuntely we don't support LUA so we don't have the drivers supported for such a framework, you could technically get LUA to work but as no drivers it will be difficult to communicate with the m5 hardware.

Hello, what code are you trying to write is it MicroPython or Arduino C?

Hello, thank you for your contribution! such example definitely looks useful.

Hello, in visual studio code do you use micropython or arduino C? if it's arduino C it should work right away.

Hello, thanks for your suggestion, we definitely looking to expand the core2 family in the future.
