Help to upgrade battery without any accessory for RGBW lamp project
-
I'm designing a battery-powered lamp for tables with M5StickC and,
- Can I replace the 80mah lipo with a 3300mah? (I don't want to use the battery HAT)
- How do I disassemble M5stickC beyond the 2 screws? (It's not easy to lift the board and get access to the battery.)
- Are there libraries to program RGBW neopixels for UIFLOW?(https://www.adafruit.com/product/2858)
Thank you!

Hello @akshaypatil
-
what exactly do you mean by 'replace'? You can 'attach/add' any battery on the outside, but almost any larger capacity battery will not mechanically fit inside M5StickC.
-
AFAIK you cannot lift the two boards without separating them first - that is what I did when I took these pictures.
-
I don't know.

all you need to do is connect 5V directly to the led strip between the M5StickC and the led strip.

@felmue Thank you! Sorry for the late reply, got busy with something.
Which ports do I add the battery externally? To "bat" and "gnd"?
I was going to leave it barebones since it's not easy to find an alternative esp32 pico kit with a battery charging circuit onboard. (tiny tiny size)
Would be cool to have an esp32 mounted on top of a li-ion cell, like how they have the protection circuits. -
Hello @akshaypatil
yes, 'bat' and 'gnd'. I suggest you also check out the M5StickC schematics.
Cheers
Felix
