stackchan-lab — M5 Stack-chan Development Log (Active)
Official M5Stack Stack-chan (M5STACK-K151) moved off its stock cloud assistant onto a self-hosted stack on a Raspberry Pi 5 - 19 server-side tools · 11 device tools over MCP · sings 16 cheer songs · speaks while the model is still writing · stock firmware, unmodified
How the voice loop runs
| Stage | |
|---|---|
| Speech in | sherpa-onnx / ReazonSpeech, on the Pi |
| Reply | hosted 120B model, free tier |
| Speech out | Open JTalk, on the Pi (0.27s per sentence), shaped for a speaker that cannot reproduce bass |
| Tools | weather, FX, indices, crypto, NHK headlines, JMA quake / warning / typhoon, heat index, train delays, on-this-day, moon and sun, fuel surcharge, travel advisories, baseball scores and standings, roster notices, cheer-song lyrics, singing a cheer song |
| Device tools | camera, head angles, LED, volume, screen, battery - called through the same function-call array |
| Interrupting | the device sends no mic while it is playing, so the server stops the audio and listens at a silent point |
| Latency | the reply is spoken sentence by sentence as it streams, and only the utterance that just ended is sent to the recogniser |
What went wrong, and what it turned out to be
| Symptom | Cause |
|---|---|
Pairing failed as No devices found |
Factory firmware nine releases behind. OTA needs Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi setup needs pairing - USB was the only way in |
| Device kept talking to the stock server | A hand-appended NVS entry padded its key with 0xFF instead of 0x00: valid CRC, invisible to my own parser, permanently missed by ESP-IDF |
| OOM-killed at 7GB RSS, twice | A VAD that starts counting at speech never fires on an always-streaming mic |
| Speech played in slow motion | Not length - the same 30 morae read fine as nonsense but break in a real sentence, and one comma puts it right. The server times each synthesis and re-splits what came out slow |
| The rhythm would not come back, whatever I changed | The wall was the ruler. Against a real recording, comparing sound to sound has a floor of 142-680ms: singing at the onsets of the recording itself, which cannot be wrong as rhythm, still reads that, and every difference I had been reading between methods sat inside it. Measured by times against times, with a random control beside it, the notes now land 20-60ms from the onsets against 55-105ms for random - and it sings |
| Conversation sounded quieter than the singing | Not level - band. The singing voice puts over 90% of its energy above 500Hz; the speaking voice puts 73-84% below it, where a speaker this small reproduces nothing. Matching the level in the band that is actually audible fixed what matching the overall level could not |
More of the same, with the measurements behind each, is in the server notes.

rpi5-infra 🔒 (private, config record)
Configuration record for the Raspberry Pi 5 that hosts the robot's server, kept so the box can be rebuilt after an SD failure and so a change like opening a port leaves a trace.
What it records, and what it deliberately leaves out
| Recorded | firewall rules, systemd units, cron entries, listening ports, an inventory of what is actually running |
| Left out | secrets - unit files reference their EnvironmentFile without containing values, and credential files are excluded |

Minami Baseball OB — Alumni Association Site (In Production)
Full-stack web app for a high school baseball alumni association — 11 active users · 44 pages · 23 DB tables · 19 e2e tests · ¥0/mo running cost (157 files, ~22000 LOC). Technical Documentation
| PC (Light) | Game Results |
 |
 |
5-tier RBAC (Middleware + RLS), automated member pipeline (Form → GAS → Actions → Supabase), 686 match records (1955–present)
Architecture & features
- 5-tier RBAC (guest → admin): Next.js Middleware + Supabase RLS — authorization at route, row, and component level
- Automated member pipeline: Google Form → Apps Script → GitHub Actions auto-PR → Supabase role sync. Personal names never touch Git
- Custom CMS: 9 editor pages + 5 inline edit, soft delete (7-day trash + auto-purge), change history, audit logs
- 686 match records (1955–present): cross-source verification, generation-based grouping, per-game photo management
- UX: Unsaved warning, Web Share + LINE fallback, Calendar registration, ripple feedback, Suspense skeleton UI, weather forecast (Open-Meteo, 10 venues), automated game detection (2 sources → auto-PR)
- Security: RLS on all 23 tables (17 main + 6 history),
server-onlyadmin, CODEOWNERS, branch protection, secret scanning, cookie consent, 60-min session timeout - Silent-fail monitoring — built after a 1-month silent outage (a Form trigger silently lost its OAuth grant):
- Hourly health-check probes the full member-request + feedback pipeline (Vercel proxy / dispatch chain / GAS time trigger / gas-issue-form secret match / role-sync recency)
- Workflow-run failure + sync-roles liveness (cron-stall) detection auto-opens a tracking GitHub issue and auto-closes it on recovery
- Dual-channel alerts: GitHub Actions email + GAS Gmail
Next.js 15 / TypeScript 5.8 / Tailwind CSS 4 / Supabase (PostgreSQL + Auth + Storage) / Vercel / GitHub Actions / Google Apps Script / GA4
Yokohama Funnies — Amateur Baseball Team Site (In Production)
Companion site for an amateur baseball team, forked from Minami Baseball OB — 23-player roster · 48 pages · 31 DB tables · 18 e2e tests · ¥0/mo running cost (165 files, ~23100 LOC). Technical Documentation
5-tier RBAC (Middleware + RLS), PR-based member approval (Form → GAS → Actions auto-PR → merge → role sync), custom amateur-baseball stats schema (per-game batting / pitching / attendance) with manual-input + spreadsheet-migration ingestion
Architecture & features
- 5-tier RBAC (guest → admin): Next.js Middleware + Supabase RLS — authorization at route, row, and component level (Google OAuth)
- PR-based member approval (same topology as Minami): Google Form → Apps Script → Vercel proxy → GitHub App auto-creates an approval PR adding a per-member role file (
config/members/<uid>.yml); merging triggers a polling role-sync to Supabase + an approval email to the member — approve by merge. Personal data stays minimal in Git - Amateur-baseball stats schema:
players(jersey / bats / throws / is_guest / photo / comment), per-gamegame_player_batting(14 cols) +game_player_pitching,attendances(○/△/×); aggregated views + client-side season filter compute 打率 / 出塁率 / 長打率 / OPS / ERA / WHIP / K9 - Stat ingestion: spreadsheet migration + editor manual-input UI (
/edit/game-stats, scorebook image side-by-side + per-player grid); editors upload scorebook images straight from the result page - Custom CMS / UX: dedicated + inline editor pages, soft delete (7-day trash + auto-purge), change history, audit logs, public No. 06 ROSTER section (photo + jersey + role + comment) via
players_publicview, Open-Meteo weather forecast with WBGT heat-stress display - Security: Supabase RLS on all tables, anon-readable roster view with sensitive columns filtered, server-only admin, gitleaks secret scanning, notifications isolated on a separate public Actions repo
- Silent-fail monitoring:
- Hourly health-check probes every notification path (Vercel proxy / dispatch ack / GAS heartbeat / feedback webhook secret)
- Workflow-run failure + sync-roles liveness detection auto-opens/closes a GitHub issue, with email alerts on any silent failure

Japan Geohazard Monitor — Earthquake prediction research
Data sources, evaluation and the Kumamoto InSAR result
- 85 features from 25+ sources — USGS, NASA Earthdata, INTERMAGNET, NMDB, NOAA, IOC
- Walk-forward evaluation — a HistGBT ensemble on a 1° grid, scored on 3,004,835 rows across 37 windows from 1989 to 2026: pooled AUC 0.907, Brier skill +0.080.
- What that number is and is not — most of it is geography. A climatology fitted on the same rows reaches 0.902 on its own, so the part that is forecast rather than base rate is +0.005 per window, positive in 92% of windows. Reading the figure without its climatology overstates it.
- How rounds are judged — every round is pre-registered before it runs, its scripts are frozen by checksum, and the result is compared against permutation floors rather than against zero. Null results are logged in the same place as the positive ones (research log)
- Open data & automation — features published as a public Hugging Face dataset, weekly CI pipeline on GitHub Actions
- Co-seismic InSAR — 2026 Kumamoto M7.1 measured from open Sentinel-1 on ASF HyP3: line-of-sight displacement −21.7 to +15.0 cm and a coherence-change damage proxy (method, figures and caveats)
Japan Wildlife Sightings — Bear and wildlife sighting open data, normalized · map
Why it exists, what is collected, and what is withheld
- The data is public but incompatible — prefectures publish bear, boar and deer sightings as CKAN CSV, ArcGIS Survey123, Google My Maps KML, Excel or PDF. The Ministry of the Environment publishes monthly totals as PDF only, so no nationwide point dataset exists. The aggregators that do exist are closed.
- 27 sources, 79,394 records in one schema (75,743 with coordinates), rebuilt daily on GitHub Actions and checked by a validator that counts coordinates, dates and duplicate ids.
- Only what the terms allow is published — 40,241 records from sources that state CC BY or PDL 1.0 (Akita, Kyoto, Ishikawa, Kanazawa, Yamaguchi, Sapporo, Muroran, Ishikari, Kamisunagawa). Every other source ships as a fetcher, not as data, with the licence wording quoted in docs/licenses.md.
- Finding the data is most of the work — a prefecture page often links only a PDF while a public ArcGIS layer sits behind its map (Toyama 4,614 records, Fukushima 4,491). Most PDF-only prefectures publish monthly totals rather than per-incident rows; the two that don't are parsed back, one by layout and one by glyph coordinates.
- A map, not just a file — MapLibre GL JS over GSI tiles, GSI aerial photography and NASA GIBS VIIRS imagery from the previous day. Library and glyphs are vendored, so the page depends on no external CDN.

Handwritten Scorebook OCR 🔒 (private R&D, active)
Amateur Baseball Scorebook Reader — reads handwritten Japanese paper scorebooks (紙スコアブック) from photos into structured at-bat data. 76% → 93% on the hardest mark class, evaluated on 31 hand-transcribed ground-truth sheets.
How it reads the sheets, and how it is evaluated
- No paid APIs, no cloud OCR — deterministic computer vision (OpenCV on a Raspberry Pi 5)
- Game-logic constraint solver — only accepts readings consistent with legal base-running; fused with template matching it lifted the hardest mark class from 76% to 93% pooled
- Honest, live evaluation — the ground-truth archive is complete and still growing (the latest game was transcribed the day it was played); every new sheet serves as a held-out generalization test before joining the pool — 29 consecutive held-out sheets so far, some read perfectly
- Real output — my team's 2026 season batting stats are compiled from this ground truth
