In almost all my conversations, one thing keeps coming up: the <a href=\"https:\/\/m5stack.com\/\"><strong>M5Stack<\/strong><\/a> developer kits. This company will send you an ESP32-based device you can hack to bits, whether you\u2019re looking for something with <a href=\"https:\/\/shop.m5stack.com\/products\/paperdiy-complete-kit-esp32-s3?variant=50752030376193\"><strong>an E Ink display<\/strong><\/a> or something <a href=\"https:\/\/shop.m5stack.com\/products\/m5stack-stopwatch-dev-kit-esp32-s3\"><strong>with a round touchscreen<\/strong><\/a>. I\u2019m about to spend an alarming amount of money buying these things, and an equally alarming amount of time making Claude Code do weird stuff with them. I\u2019m already stealing ideas from the fabulous <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/M5Stack\/\"><strong>M5Stack subreddit<\/strong><\/a>.
