cardputer

A hardware and firmware reference for the M5Stack Cardputer family, small ESP32-S3-based devices. It covers the device's keyboard, motion sensor, audio parts, display, ports, battery, accessories, and development setup.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when wiring peripherals, reading sensors, working with the display or audio, adding LoRa or GNSS accessories, or setting up Arduino IDE, PlatformIO, ESP-IDF, or UIFlow2.
Why use it?
It gives developers the device details needed to build firmware without searching across separate hardware and software references.

Grade A, and why

cardputer scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
