Pretty quick summary.. Instead of proving that it will work on the waveshare 1.8 knob (lol), Claude and I got it running on the https://docs.m5stack.com/en/core/m5stickc_plus just to prove it can be ported to another platform... and it works pretty well !! Well done Claude.
NUTS now available on the M5 USB-C Stick 1.1
Now ported to another hardware platform.
