M5Stack Tab5 Touch Dashboard
PlatformIO starter for the M5Stack Tab5. It demonstrates the 1280x720 display, touch buttons, a brightness slider, touch coordinates, memory, battery, Wi-Fi, and accelerometer status.
Variation 1
The first refinement uses larger FreeSans fonts, clearer visual hierarchy, and a PSRAM-backed canvas for the brightness control. The slider strip is composed off-screen and pushed to the display in one operation, eliminating visible redraw flicker while dragging.
