Purplx Cardputer Cyberdeck

by purplxhazee · Easy

A keyboard-driven cyberdeck environment for M5Stack's Cardputer ADV, with offline reference tools, games, Wi-Fi sensing, media features and optional external-display support.

Purplxhazee packages a broad set of ESP32-S3 utilities into a menu system for the Cardputer ADV. The firmware uses the handheld's built-in screen and keyboard on their own, while an optional ILI9341 display and microSD card expand its games, file tools and media features.
