From the README
Here are StackChan related open-source resources, including source code of the StackChan firmware, remote controller firmware, mobile app (iOS and Android), and server.
Update of this repo could be a little late than the released firmware and mobile app.
StackChan is a super kawaii AI desktop robot co-created by M5Stack and the user community. It uses the M5Stack flagship IoT development kit CoreS3 as its main controller, powered by an ESP32-S3 SoC featuring a 240 MHz dual-core processor, with 16MB Flash and 8MB PSRAM onboard, and supporting Wi-Fi and BLE. The main unit also integrates a 2.0-inch capacitive touch display with a high-strength glass cover, a 0.3 MP camera, a proximity & ambient light sensor, a 9-axis IMU (accelerometer + gyroscope + magnetometer), a microSD card slot, a 1W speaker, dual microphones, and power/reset buttons.
The robot body, connected to the main unit, includes a USB-C interface for power and data, a 550 mAh battery, two feedback servos (360-degree continuous rotation on the horizontal axis and 90-degree movement on the vertical axis), two rows totaling 12 RGB LEDs, infrared transmitter and receiver, a three-zone touch panel, and a full-featured NFC module.
