Summary

This PR adds community support for running WLED on the M5Stack CoreS3.

The implementation keeps CoreS3-specific functionality in usermods and build configuration without requiring direct changes to the WLED core.

AI assistance

This PR was developed with substantial AI assistance from ChatGPT (OpenAI).

AI assistance was used to draft and refactor parts of the new CoreS3 usermod code, analyze review feedback, and help prepare English documentation and responses.

I manually applied the changes and personally performed the PlatformIO builds, firmware uploads, and physical hardware validation on my M5Stack CoreS3. The hardware validation was performed directly on the device and was not delegated to an AI agent.

AI-generated source-code blocks are marked with the repository-required // AI: below section was generated by an AI / // AI: end comments.

Features

  • M5Stack CoreS3 320x240 touch display UI
    • Main
    • Color
    • Effects
    • Presets
  • Bidirectional synchronization between the CoreS3 UI and WLED Web UI
  • Built-in ES7210 microphone support for Audio Reactive
  • AXP2101 power management
  • Battery status display
  • Physical power-key monitoring
  • Safe shutdown with LED BLACK frame before power-off
  • Display sleep/wake, brightness and fade handling
  • Support for CoreS3 LED output ports

CoreS3 I2C integration

CoreS3 internal I2C devices use WLED's global Wire / I2C0 bus on:

  • SDA: GPIO12
  • SCL: GPIO11

The previous M5GFX/lgfx I2C_NUM_1 access path has been removed from the CoreS3 display, power, and ES7210 integration.

The CoreS3 display hardware backend accesses the internal I2C devices through the existing global WLED Wire bus without starting a second I2C controller on the same physical pins.

For the current three-output test configuration, Port A / B / C are configured with the WLED I2S driver.

No CoreS3-specific NeoPixelBus source patch or build-time dependency patch is included in this PR.

Build

A CoreS3 PlatformIO configuration example is included at:

usermods/CoreS3_Display/platformio_override.ini.sample

The CoreS3 display usermod declares the required M5GFX dependency using the M5GFX 0.2.26 Git tag for reproducible clean builds.

WLED core integration

The current CoreS3 implementation is contained in usermods and build configuration.

No direct WLED core source-file modification is required by the current PR state.

Validation

Tested on a physical M5Stack CoreS3 with ESP32-S3.

Validated on the current upstream main-derived baseline with a full clean dependency rebuild.

Test coverage included:

  • Clean PlatformIO build
  • Boot and Wi-Fi/Web UI operation
  • Touch UI navigation
  • Color, effect and preset control
  • CoreS3 UI <-> Web UI synchronization
  • Battery display
  • Audio Reactive operation using the internal ES7210 microphones
  • LED Port A / B / C operation
  • Display sleep/wake
  • Safe Shutdown cancel / restore
  • Safe physical shutdown and restart

Documentation

Detailed English and Japanese documentation is included under:

usermods/CoreS3_Display/

This is a community implementation and is not official M5Stack firmware.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to f7688

The remaining documentation gap may make network recovery difficult for Japanese-speaking users. It is bounded and does not prevent merging, but the instructions should be corrected.

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to b6b1c

The new recovery gesture can expose an offline device over Wi-Fi, and an interrupted LED-settings save may leave its outputs suspended. Both warrant design review, although the reachable scope is a single device and no confirmed authentication bypass was established.

Retained concerns

  • Medium · security · inferred: On an offline CoreS3, a 1.5-second display hold can start WLED’s recovery AP with compiled credentials, extending physical access into nearby Wi-Fi reach. Whether that is the intended authority for an accessible display is not established.
  • Medium · reliability · inferred: The LED-settings guard can reach BLACK_READY with the strip suspended, but only a resumed settings callback advances it. If the deferred request is lost before that callback, no timeout or independent restore path is visible.
  • Low · reliability · inferred: Recovery treats apActive as proof that SoftAP started and as its retry guard, although WLED sets that flag without checking the SoftAP start result. A failed start can therefore appear successful without prompting a retry.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The recovery trigger requires someone at the display, but a successfully started AP makes the device’s existing network interfaces reachable to nearby clients with the recovery credential. The inspected path does not establish wider fleet or cross-device exposure.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — A person with physical access to an offline CoreS3 can initiate the recovery AP; the reviewed evidence does not establish an authentication bypass after joining it. No verified Security finding was retained for this PR.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The LED-settings guard checks local-subnet and PIN state before deferral, then uses WLED’s settings handler for parsing and mutation; WLED’s handler independently checks the client subnet and PIN.
  • observed — The local preset-delete path checks target membership and operation state and requires a deliberate hold. No explicit user-identity check is visible in that path; whether physical possession is sufficient authority remains a policy question.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — The preset writer’s boolean result is ignored by the existing deletePreset function. CoreS3’s cache rebuild checks ordinary deletion failure before reporting success, but the inspected code does not establish atomicity against partial or concurrent filesystem writes.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Define whether an unlocked physical display is authorized to start network recovery and delete presets; if not, require an appropriate device-local control before those actions.
  • proposed — Give deferred LED saves an explicit interruption timeout and restore transition, and check actual SoftAP start success before declaring recovery active.

@ToshihiroMakuuchi I'd like to understand the "safe shutdown" feature. By default, WLED already has power-off transition support; users can configure fade-outs or other spatial transitions. What is the purpose of this feature, and how is it "safe"? Is this LED output override intended mitigate around a power supply limitation on the board whereby powering on the LEDs with a large brightness could overdraw the supply, resulting in a brownout and reboot?

If your intent is just to implement power button from the I2C interface, consider simply calling toggleOnOff() when a press is detected. The core already maintains the "last on" brightness level, and you'll get the correct transition behaviour; plus it interacts properly with the rest of the system (such as relay-based external power management) if an on-request is received via another button or the web UI during the transition.

(As a general rule, we don't want specific board modules overriding or interfering with LED output behaviour unless it's strictly necessary for the hardware to operate. It creates a support burden for us as we end up fielding questions about why this board behaves differently than others.)

@willmmiles Thanks for raising this.

The intent of the current “Safe Shutdown” implementation is not to work around a CoreS3 power-supply or brownout limitation.
The CoreS3 physical power button is handled through the AXP2101, and holding the button ultimately powers the CoreS3 off. The current implementation watches the AXP2101 power-key event and sends a BLACK LED frame before that physical shutdown. If the button is released before shutdown completes, the previous LED output is restored.
That is what I meant by “safe shutdown”: making sure the LED output is turned off before the controller itself loses power, rather than providing a different WLED power-off behavior.
I agree with your concern that the board-specific usermod should not bypass or compete with WLED’s normal LED state/transition handling unless the hardware strictly requires it. I’ll rework this path to use the normal WLED on/off handling (toggleOnOff() / transition path) where possible and repeat the physical CoreS3 power-button tests. If the direct LED override is not necessary, I will remove it.

@ToshihiroMakuuchi Thanks, much appreciated! It would be worth testing with #5729 if you can. @DedeHai cleaned up a lot of the glitches and problem cases with power on and off transitions, including making them reverse correctly.

@willmmiles Thanks for the suggestion. I merged the current main, including #5729, and reworked the CoreS3 physical power-key handling to use WLED's normal toggleOnOff() + stateUpdated(CALL_MODE_BUTTON) path.
I removed the CoreS3-specific direct strip.setBrightness() / strip.show() BLACK-output override.
I then tested the updated implementation on the physical CoreS3:

  • Holding the power key continuously: WLED fades to OFF, all LEDs turn off, then the AXP2101 powers the CoreS3 off. No LEDs remained lit.
  • Releasing the power key before the PMIC hard-off: WLED returns to ON and the running effect is restored.
  • Sending an ON request from the Web UI while the OFF transition is still in progress: the transition reverses cleanly and the effect is restored.
    I also updated the documentation to describe this as physical Power Key handling using WLED's standard power transitions rather than “Safe Shutdown”.
    Implemented in 72ab4f1, with documentation updated in d06da16.

Learning: In WLED AudioReactive code, implement ES7210 as a generic audio source when possible. Keep CoreS3-specific settings in its board configuration. Use the existing AudioReactive and PinManager integration paths, and handle ESP-IDF version, I2S peripheral, GPIO, and clock-source constraints as compatibility conditions instead of limiting ES7210 support to the M5Stack CoreS3.

Keep the current scan ID when JSONBufferGuard cannot acquire the buffer.
Read preset names under a scoped guard in the display usermod, retaining
getPresetName() name handling without changing WLED core APIs.

Validation: all 16 npm tests, esp32dev and m5stack_cores3 builds, COM3
upload with four successful flash hash checks, and human-reported boot,
preset listing, unused save candidate, new save, and deletion checks.
Lock contention was reviewed in code, not reproduced on hardware.

Repo: wled/WLED PR: 5645
File: platformio_override.ini:1-1
Timestamp: 2026-05-24T08:51:42.355Z
Learning: In the WLED repo, `platformio_override.ini` is user/Local-only and should never be committed (it’s already ignored by .gitignore). When adding an example/customization for a specific PlatformIO usermod build environment, follow the convention of committing it only as a sample file at `usermods/<modname>/platformio_override.ini.sample` (for example, `usermods/pixels_dice_tray/platformio_override.ini.sample`).

Timestamp: 2026-05-29T12:55:59.816Z
Learning: In the WLED repo, the `custom_usermods` setting should use the short usermod name (e.g., `rotary_encoder_ui_ALT`), not the full usermod directory path. The `find_usermod()` function in `pio-scripts/load_usermods.py` resolves short names by trying, in order: `usermods/<mod>`, `usermods/<mod>_v2`, and `usermods/usermod_v2_<mod>`. Therefore, `custom_usermods = rotary_encoder_ui_ALT` is expected to map to the directory `usermods/usermod_v2_rotary_encoder_ui_ALT`; don’t require the full directory name in `custom_usermods` entries during review.

617-621: Do not start WLED off when LONG and RELEASE arrive in the same poll.

A past review raised this issue, and the current code still has it. Line 620 calls beginPowerKeyWledOff(), and Lines 633-638 call cancelPowerKeyWledOff() in the same pass. The result is an off/on toggle when one poll latches both flags. Skip the LONG trigger when AXP2101_PKEY_POSITIVE_MASK is also set.

Update the Japanese README to match the English README.

Earlier review rounds changed only readme.md. The Japanese README still contains content that is now wrong:

  • Platform versions are outdated.
    • Lines 161-168 list pioarduino 55.03.39, Arduino Core 3.3.9, and ESP-IDF 5.5.4.
    • The sample now inherits Tasmota 2026.05.50, Arduino Core 3.3.8.260506, and ESP-IDF 5.5.4.260407.
    • Users who follow these lines may install the wrong platform.
  • Removed guidance is still present.
    • Lines 139-153 keep the "Recommended Brightness" section and the Brightness 64 advice.
    • Lines 433-436 repeat that advice.
    • The English README removed this guidance as incorrect.
  • Old wording is still present.
    • Line 18 and Line 5 still say "ネイティブ実行".
    • Line 360 still has the preset-cache sentence.
    • Line 380 still says "fuel gauge".
    • Line 410 still says "Power Health".
    • Line 273 still says "unchanged / enabled".
  • The Network Recovery section is not aligned. Lines 366-374 do not describe the Offline - Hold Recovery AP hold for 1.5 seconds.

Align each section with the current English README.

Review comment at @usermods/CoreS3_Display/readme_jp.md around lines 161 - 168:
Update the Japanese README’s platform-version block and stale guidance,
terminology, and Network Recovery section to match the current English README.
Remove the outdated brightness recommendations and preset-cache sentence,
correct the listed terminology, use the current inherited platform versions, and
describe holding Offline - Hold Recovery AP for 1.5 seconds.

@softhack007 Yes. The PR adds behavior beyond a display and microphone driver. Some important effects are not explained in the PR description or READMEs. However, preset management, Recovery AP, and DCDC3 Always-PWM are documented in the READMEs, so I would not classify those entire features as undisclosed.

I checked commit 64e53be3 against its base and traced the integration calls into WLED core.

1. Recovery AP changes network policy and credentials at runtime

In usermods/CoreS3_Display/CoreS3_Display.cpp, Line 1794, the recovery action calls:

WLED::instance().initAP(true);

This has effects beyond showing network status:

  • It bypasses AP_BEHAVIOR_BUTTON_ONLY.
  • It uses the compiled default AP credentials, not the user’s configured AP credentials. Unless overridden at build time, the password is wled1234.
  • It starts the normal AP services, including the Web server, captive DNS, and configured UDP interfaces.
  • While the recovery session remains active and STA is disconnected, the usermod reopens the AP if WLED closes it. This can counteract the normal temporary-AP timeout or an API request to close the AP.

The code restores apSSID and apPass after starting the AP. Thus, the saved configuration remains unchanged, but the running AP uses different credentials from those restored configuration variables.

The README describes a temporary Recovery AP, but does not explain these credential and lifecycle details.

References: display implementation, Line 1794 and Line 1831; existing wled00/wled.cpp, Line 705.

2. Preset management can replace more than the displayed settings

SAVE and OVERWRITE call savePreset(id, name) without save options.

The core defaults therefore save:

  • Global on/off and brightness.
  • Transition settings.
  • All segments, including segment bounds.
  • The main-segment selection.

OVERWRITE replaces the destination with a current-state snapshot. It does not preserve an existing playlist, API-command preset, quick-load metadata, or the destination’s original save scope.

DELETE also has additional behavior:

  • If the deleted preset is active, the usermod sets currentPreset = 0.
  • If the deleted preset is the boot preset, it clears bootPreset and schedules a full WLED configuration write.
  • BOOT PRESET also changes global persistent configuration.

Preset management is documented. These replacement and persistence semantics are not.

References: usermods/CoreS3_Display/CoreS3_Display.cpp, Line 1320, Line 1366, Line 1450, and Line 1598; existing wled00/presets.cpp, Line 218.

3. Touch controls are not equivalent to Web UI segment selection

Color, effect, speed, intensity, and palette controls directly edit strip.getMainSegment().

They do not apply changes to all selected segments. Power and brightness instead affect global WLED state.

This distinction matters for multi-segment installations. The README says to use the Web UI for segment configuration, but does not clearly state that local parameter editing targets only the main segment.

There is another integration concern: stateUpdated() reads legacy values from the first selected segment, not necessarily the main segment. Reviewers should test notification contents when those segments differ.

References: display implementation, Line 6004, Line 6070, and Line 6331; existing wled00/led.cpp, Line 154.

4. I found a concrete synchronization defect

applySpeedValue() and applyIntensityValue() assign the segment fields directly, then call stateUpdated(CALL_MODE_BUTTON). Neither handler sets stateChanged.

If brightness is stable and no other change is pending, the core consequently does not:

  • Clear currentPreset.
  • Send the normal UDP change notification.
  • Schedule the normal WebSocket/MQTT interface update.

The LEDs and local display can change while the Web UI or other clients retain stale state. This conflicts with the stated bidirectional synchronization feature.

Both handlers need to mark the change before calling stateUpdated():

stateChanged = true;
stateUpdated(CALL_MODE_BUTTON);

References: usermods/CoreS3_Display/CoreS3_Display.cpp, Line 6083 and Line 6133; existing wled00/led.cpp, Line 159.

5. Local controls can affect other WLED devices

The touch controls and physical power-key handler use CALL_MODE_BUTTON or CALL_MODE_BUTTON_PRESET.

When button notifications are enabled, these actions can send WLED UDP synchronization packets. Thus, a physical CoreS3 power-key hold and canceled hold can propagate OFF and ON changes to other devices.

This is normal core behavior, not a new networking mechanism. However, the feature is not strictly local to the CoreS3.

References: usermods/CoreS3_Power/CoreS3_Power.cpp, Line 529 and Line 547; existing wled00/udp.cpp, Line 32.

6. Power management changes board-wide hardware state

The power usermod does more than monitor the power key:

  • It enables external BOOST_EN and BUS_EN at startup and reasserts them once at runtime.
  • These enables do not follow WLED’s logical LED OFF state. LED OFF does not mean that the external 5V rail is off.
  • It writes whole AW9523B direction, GPIO/LED-mode, and global-control registers. These writes are broader than the two power-enable bits.
  • It forces DCDC3 Always-PWM. It preserves DCDC1’s existing mode; it does not explicitly force DCDC1 to AUTO as the README’s example might imply.

External 5V and DCDC3 control are documented, but their exact scope deserves explicit review.

References: usermods/CoreS3_Power/CoreS3_Power.cpp, Line 265, Line 288, and Line 428.

7. The display adds shared-resource and background-work costs

The display backend requests SPI2 with automatic DMA allocation. It reserves GPIO3, GPIO35, GPIO36, GPIO37, and GPIO21 through PinManager.

The display usermod also adds:

  • An 8,500-byte fixed preset-name cache.
  • Background scans of preset IDs 1–250 at startup and after detected preset-file changes.
  • Shared JSON-buffer locking and filesystem reads during those scans, including while the display sleeps.
  • A 360 ms explicit touch-reset delay during initialization.

These are resource and scheduling effects, not proof of a conflict or performance regression. They should be included in combined display/audio/LED-output testing.

Scope and description corrections

The “no direct WLED core source changes” statement is correct. All 29 changed files are under usermods. The current PR contains no NeoPixelBus source patch or dependency-patching script.

The shared AudioReactive change makes the MCLK multiplier configurable per source. Its default remains 256, so the diff does not change that setting for existing audio sources. ES7210 support is available on eligible non-CoreS3 builds too.

The PR description still claims “Safe shutdown with LED BLACK frame.” That description is stale. The current implementation uses toggleOnOff() and standard WLED transitions. It does not wait for transition completion before the PMIC’s independent hard power-off, so “all LEDs reach OFF first” is not guaranteed for every transition duration.

Priority: fix the speed/intensity change flag, clarify Recovery AP security/lifecycle behavior, and document preset overwrite scope. These are the most significant findings from this audit.

This was source-level verification. I did not build the firmware or perform hardware tests.

Learning: In WLED AudioReactive code, implement ES7210 as a generic audio source when possible. Keep CoreS3-specific settings in its board configuration. Use the existing AudioReactive and PinManager integration paths, and handle ESP-IDF version, I2S peripheral, GPIO, and clock-source constraints as compatibility conditions instead of limiting ES7210 support to the M5Stack CoreS3.

Learning: For the M5Stack CoreS3 AudioReactive integration, GPIO0 is configured as the I2S MCLK pin through the normal configuration and PinManager path. The dedicated `usermods/CoreS3_Audio` usermod and GPIO0 button-release or auto-fix paths were removed.

Process latched RELEASE before PRESS, LONG, and the hold-timer fallback.
This prevents requesting WLED off and immediately canceling it in the
same poll while retaining the restore logic for an earlier handled hold.

Validation: all 16 npm tests, esp32dev and m5stack_cores3 builds, COM3
upload with four successful flash hash checks, and human-reported normal
startup, short press, hold cancellation with LED restore, full power-off,
and normal startup afterward. Simultaneous IRQ and fallback edge cases
were reviewed in code, not reproduced on hardware.
