I abandoned this platform for commercial prototypes because of lack of documentation. But at least there are now hints for more info in a new repository.

I took a glance. Monstrous Poverty

I have to agree. I love m5stack, but it seems they should work a little harder at supporting the excellent hardware things they have.

There is also this very weird behavior, that http://forum.m5stack.com is giving a timeout error from my IP address in the last week after I posted something here for 3 times. Well certainly coincidence, most certainly.
After renewing my dynamic IP this forum loads immediately.

It happens every so often so I'm guessing that the forum is on an IPv4 server.

@ajb2k3
The forum is hosted by Alisoft (Alibaba group) in Hangzhou behind the great firewall. So something might trigger the behavior (keywords) intentional or not. The main site is hosted in Singapore and not affected.

@kabron Sorry, i am adding schematics for m5stack products.

To everyone:

Please pay more attention to github and docs.

Ahh, The Great Firewall of China, I had forgotten about that.

I am fixing it.

Here a catalog

@watson Excellent!! Stuff is being added!! Could you also add the schematics, 3D, etc. of all the bases, including the FACES base and the FACES keyboards ?

M5Fire schematic still TopSecret?

PlayTheGame

@watson
M5Fire schematics?
Its fine to used the altered pin maps as basis but be aware your leaflets contain errors.
Fire has an undocumented I2C device on the bus, most probably the power management IC.

M5Camera really I2C SDA on G22 not G25? Schematics?

M5Core
Not up to date, connectors missing

M BUS
HPWR?

@rop
OK, i am going to talk with our boss about that. Thanks your support.

@kabron
Hey kabron. Fire is not a topsecret. I consider that there are few different between M5Core Basic, M5Core GRAY, M5Fire and the main board(M5Core WHITE) of M5GO. They are simliar to each other. So we just supply the schematic of M5Core Basic.
Please read this doc. I updated it just now.

Hi
the GROVE Interface(I2C) of M5Camera is G12 and G13

The IIC address of MPU9250 is 0x68

Here's the docs about M5Fire and M5Camera

M5Fire :
https://m5stack.github.io/m5-docs/#/en/product_documents/m5stack-core/m5core_fire

M5Camera:
https://m5stack.github.io/m5-docs/#/en/product_documents/units/unit_m5camera

https://github.com/m5stack/M5-Schematic/blob/master/Core/hardware_diff_between_m5cores.md

@playthegame

Device	IIC address
mpu9250	0x68
mpu6050	0x68
IP5306	0x75
MAG3110	0x0E

the arly version of M5Fire was built in MPU6050 + MAGE3110, but we change MPU6050 + MAGE3110 to MPU9250.

If your m5fire scan i2c address is 0x68 0x75 0x0e, it means your m5fire maybe is previous version.
The iic addrss of new m5fire will be 0x68, 0x75
The iic addrss of m5core basic will be 0x75, because it has not own mpu9250

If it is not a secret, you should make the schematics of all the boards available. How hard can it be to put them on GitHub or somewhere else. Especially if you want those boards to be used by developers who want to do with them more than just playing with nice boxes.
