@williamsmaith said in What are your favorite cheap accessories for M5Stack projects?:

I’ve been using M5Stack modules for a few personal projects lately, and I’m starting to look for low-cost add-ons, things like sensors, displays, small batteries, or even cases. I figured it might be helpful if we all shared what’s worked well for us (and what hasn’t).

Have you come across any cheap accessories that surprised you with how well they worked? Or maybe something you found online that saved you a few bucks?

I recently stumbled on some good amazon discounts while browsing, so figured I’d check here too and see what others are using.

Would love to hear your suggestions, what’s worth grabbing, and what to skip.

For cheap-but-decent M5Stack add-ons, those AliExpress TOF sensors and 1.3" OLEDs have been shockingly solid for me—just check reviews. Skip the no-name battery packs though; voltage regulation’s a gamble. Anyone found a hidden gem lately?

That sounds frustrating! Since it's been an issue since purchase, it might be a hardware defect in the IT8951 controller. Try a 'nuclear reset'。 Disconnect the battery for 30 mins + hold power button to drain residual charge, then reflash.

Hello, I turned off my m5stickC plus 2 device while it was connected to the computer, but the green light remained on. Please help, the computer does not see the device.

Leave it unplugged for 1 hour to drain residual power (or disconnect/reconnect the battery if comfortable).
