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: 🟡 Moderate · up to de379

The CoreS3 support still has open concerns. A screenshot request can collide with display drawing. Display and touch pins can conflict with user pin assignments. An LED settings save can stall a bus rebuild or reboot. Some build configurations may not link. Resolve these before merging.

Security Architecture Review

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.

Remove the size-dependent initializer from oldPins.

getPins(oldPins) writes oldPins[0] before it is read when it returns a pin count greater than zero. The five-element initializer is therefore unnecessary and couples this declaration to OUTPUT_MAX_PINS.

890-896: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

The BLACK-frame wait can still block the bus rebuild without a bound.

WAIT_OFF leaves this stage only after ledShrinkBlackOverlayFrames reaches LED_REINIT_REQUIRED_BLACK_FRAMES. No timeout exists for that counter. The counter increments only in handleOverlayDraw() and only when bri == 0 && strip.getBrightness() == 0 (Lines 1133-1138). The OFF-confirm timeout path at Lines 866-878 explicitly continues when brightness did not reach zero, so in that case the overlay condition is never true and the stage never completes. doInitBusses then stays asserted, the config write stays pending, and the reboot gate in wled00/wled.cpp Line 289 stays blocked.

Add a bounded timeout for the BLACK-frame confirmation, in the style of LED_REINIT_OFF_CONFIRM_TIMEOUT_MS, and continue with a warning when it expires.

🛠️ Proposed bounded confirmation
   static constexpr uint8_t LED_REINIT_REQUIRED_BLACK_FRAMES = 3;

Remove CORES3_FFT_BIN_HZ or use it.

CORES3_FFT_BIN_HZ has no uses beyond its definition. The CoreS3 mapping uses literal bin indices and frequency comments, so this constant has no effect. Remove it, or use it to derive the documented frequency values.

Avoid shadowing the class member touchState inside the context handlers.

handleTouchPress, handleTouchHold, and handleTouchRelease declare a local reference named touchState that hides the class member of the same name. The helpers these functions call, for example isSelectedTouchPairInside at Line 6 and determineTouchReleaseAction at Line 1100, still read the class member.

Both names refer to the same object today, because handleTouch builds the context from the class member at Line 1702. The header comment in M5StackDisplayTouchContext.h states that the contexts prepare a later extraction. After that extraction the two access paths would diverge silently.

Rename the local reference, for example to state, so the two access paths stay distinguishable.

♻️ Proposed rename
   void handleTouchPress( const M5StackTouchFrameContext& context ) {
-    M5StackTouchRuntimeState& touchState = context.state;
+    M5StackTouchRuntimeState& state = context.state;

Update the member accesses inside each handler accordingly.

Remove the IDE workaround members and use int16_t.

intellisenseTailGuard is defined but never used. It adds a runtime member to work around a VS Code parser problem, not a compiler problem. signed short also departs from the int16_t type that readDisplayTouch and the rest of the touch layer use.

Remove the guard member and restore int16_t for the coordinate members. If IntelliSense still mis-parses the struct, fix it through IDE configuration instead of production data layout.

nitpick: what is "Native WLED runtime on M5Stack Core3" ?
Its clean that a WLED usermod requires WLED - if that was what you intended to say,

@coderabbitai please compare to the Japanese readme_jp.md - maybe that will help to understand what the author intends to say here.

@softhack007, the Japanese README has the same wording. At Line 18 in usermods/CoreS3_Display/readme_jp.md:

WLED を M5Stack CoreS3 上でネイティブ実行

This means “Run WLED natively on M5Stack CoreS3.” The introduction at Line 5 repeats that claim. It does not provide a more specific meaning for “native.”

The likely intent is that the CoreS3 itself runs WLED, rather than acting only as a touch controller for another WLED device. That is an interpretation, not an explicit distinction in either README.

I suggest replacing the bullet with:

- WLED firmware runs directly on the M5Stack CoreS3

Alternatively, remove the bullet because the title and introduction already state this.

yes the proposed rewording is better - "runtime" is a technical term that usually refers to a .lib file or an emulation layer.

this sentence does not make sense to me, technically speaking.

Plus it contradicts the information that comes a few lines later: "a starting Brightness around 64 is recommended"

The standard WLED default Brightness is not modified.

When powering an LED Strip directly from CoreS3, hardware testing showed that the battery level can decrease even while USB-C power is connected at Brightness 128.

This is common sense - if you use more power than the PSU can input, the battery level decreases.

Would the es7210 support add to Waveshare S3 Matrix Driver board too?

@LE1ED4523 honestly, I cannot tell if the ES7210 will work on your board - I don't have a Waveshare S3 Matrix, so I can't test.

Generic ES7210 support will be available in the AR usermod after merging this PR, however its possible that your waveshare board needs different settings (I2C register writes) to make the es8311 and es7210 work as expected. ES7210 will need a "V5" build, so we can't bring that back to version 16.0.x.

so you mean support will be added in version 17? can I manual add this with develop build, or "V5" build still need some work and I can't use it yet?

@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.
