The new Cardputer ADV

Published at : 18 Dec 2025

This is a cheap little computer that literally fits in your pocket. It has a tiny screen and a keyboard and you can find a bunch of interesting community made firmware utilities, pentesting software and even games for it. This new version now features an expansion bus on the back - and this new LoRa module turns it into a little standalone Meshtastic device, for communicating off grid. This is Cardputer ADV from m5stack.

The Cardputer ADV and LoRa/GPS module in this video was provided free of charge to me from M5Stack. They have had no say in the making of this video.
