I soldered a grove cable to the 38&39 connectors inside mine and it sticks out the end above the card slotr.

I wager many people use the card reader for logging and with an atom you only get the rear 1&2 pins which limit you to i2c if you want lots of sensors and not all the m5stack sensors are ei2c

they could make a i2c card reader too, then it coul be part of i2c chain,. although i2c is slow than spi and not work with standard sd library, so would have to be a custom chip controlling it and probably just for pushing data tto log plus extra functions for
•format card
•does file exist
•does folder exists
•make file
•make folder
•append to file
•move file to folder
•delete file or folder
•push current date and time to chip so all create-modified time accurate but not integrated rtc

I open mine up and cut mpu6886 out, now I use pins for anything I want without no issue

I started using M5Stack few months ago, I love ability to plug things together and work on code without building boards, lots of modules too!

Its nice they let feedback about products and want to make it better.

Go look at Feature Wish Category and help make better with suggestions and using little thread vote buttons to show what we want to see! 🥰

I'm loving my new m5stacks, getting stuff done and having fun!

More buttons would be great to have! would really hepl on the non-touchscreen products!

I was looking for this as well…
Any idea if M5Stack still looks at the forums specifically feature suggestions? I don't see anything from them recently. @ajb2k3 , I'm guessing your a mod here?
