0.62.0 - 155 ms from your mouse to the picture, and twice the free memory
H.264 in the browser lost 170 ms of delay, a button measures the whole round trip, video adapts to a slow link, task stacks were cut to what they use, and a restart no longer signs anyone out.
-
0.61.0 - a button on the box, and a console you can trim
A push button on the device that runs an action, a UI tab to hide the buttons you never use, full screen with nothing but the picture, and four more M5Stack units.
-
0.60.0 - a serial console, and logs
The target's serial console in the browser, the target's kernel log over the network, the device's own log live, and images the device downloads by itself.
-
0.59.0 - a gamepad for a console
The device can be a game controller too - a HORI pad for a Nintendo Switch, or an Xbox 360 pad for Windows and a Steam Deck - driven from the console. Plus Ethernet with WiFi as the backup.
-
0.58.0 - a TV remote over HDMI
On boards with a TC358743 the device now speaks HDMI-CEC - it shows what is on the cable, sends it remote keys and puts it to sleep. Plus pointer lock for relative mode, which is what SteamOS needs.
-
0.54.0 - exFAT cards, all keys in full screen, and a picture that left the device twice
A microSD card straight out of the packet works now, even above 32 GB. The console can send Alt+Tab and the Windows key to the target. And every frame had been leaving the device twice.
-
0.53.0 - The status OLED can sit on its own I2C bus, for the M5Stack Mini OLED
The status OLED always shared the capture chip's I2C bus. On the M5Stack Unit PoE-P4 the socket for one is the Grove port, which is a bus of its own, so now it can have one. Plus two fixes found with a unit on the desk.
-
0.52.2 - Fixed: no picture on the M5Stack PoE-P4 after the target switches to a text console
The picture vanished when the target switched to a text console, and the firmware had an answer for exactly that - behind a check the board could never pass.
-
0.51.0 - Recording the screen to microSD: videos, screenshots, dashcam, timelapse
A car dashcam records the road nobody is watching and keeps the minutes before the crash. This release gives a server the same thing: the screen goes to the device's own microSD card, the last minutes are held and saved when something happens, and the console plays it all back - with what was typed as subtitles, and search over what the screen said.
-
0.50.0 - swap the card while it runs, and a picture that keeps up
The microSD card can go in and out without a restart, even in the middle of a copy. And on a still screen the MJPEG picture no longer shows the screen as it was before your last key.
-
A macro that waits
0.47.1 adds runbooks that wait for words on the screen, DuckyScript, a cron scheduler and push notifications with a screenshot - all running on the device.
-
0.42.0 - two things can no longer share a pin
A settings write that would put two things on one GPIO is refused, a capture driver announces itself instead of being called by name, and a keyboard the target has forgotten can be re-plugged from the console.
-
A serial monitor, and readers for firmware images, panics and EDIDs
A serial monitor that needs no terminal, and three readers: a firmware image, a panic dump, an EDID. All in the browser, nothing uploaded.
-
The demo is a whole fake computer now
The interactive demo moved to its own address and stopped being a screenshot: it is the real console, driving a machine that boots, crashes and lets you update its firmware.
-
0.38.0 - a mouse jiggler
A machine left alone locks its screen, and then what you were watching is behind a password. One pixel, there and back, as often as you like.
-
0.36.0 - a panel that can stay open, and arrows on a phone
Pin a panel beside the picture instead of over it, and drive a boot menu from a phone that has no arrow keys.
-
0.32.0 - settings to a file, and back
Save the configuration before you change it, or bring a second device up like the first.
-
0.29.0 - you can watch an update happen
The console takes over the screen during an update, names the step it is on, and afterwards says which version actually came back.
-
0.16.0 - Tailscale, right on the device
The KVM joins your tailnet by itself - no gateway, no VPS, no port forwarding - and the console installs to a phone's home screen.
-
0.10.0 - phones, and taking turns at the keyboard
The screen becomes a trackpad on a phone, and a second person opening the console can see who is driving and ask for the keyboard.
-
0.6.0 - the console gets out of the way
The firmware version becomes a badge that shows updates and their progress, diagnostics and media move out of Settings, and the whole button rail can switch sides.
-
0.5.0 - macros, for the sequence you type every time
Save a named script of key chords, text and delays, and replay it with one click.
