I will be using the "stick" in teaching environments over the next year so I have started compiling notes on how well it works with various hardware add-ons. At the moment I have a starter list posted at: http://tinkerfarm.net/projects/the-m5stickc/m5stickc-hardware-accessories/.
I will be adding to that page as I get deeper into it, next up will be some of the commodity sensors that people use with Arduinos, since my site is aimed at beginners. I hope this might be helpful to some of the people on this forum.

I have posted my notes on using the stick with some Grove modules (over the grove connector) here: http://tinkerfarm.net/projects/the-m5stickc/m5stickc-hardware-accessories/

I am wondering if the "M5" functions/commands have a reference document somewhere. I am using the M5StickC under Arduino IDE. Of course there are many applied examples in the example programs. But it would be very helpful to find a more comprehensive reference to them, even if someone can just point me to the right library file where they are all defined in code. Thanks.

@ajb2k3 That group was actually part of an order of 20. I am using them to teach a series of workshops called "Beyond the Arduino" http://tinkerfarm.net/workshops/m5stickc-workshop-2019/.
The idea is that you can learn basic Arduino using the sticks but then you can go much farther with the extra on board hardware or expansion via the grove port or header pins. Just finished the first one and I have learned getting people comfortable with the setup process--how to expand the Arduino IDE past the built in boards and libraries by itself expands their horizons on what is possible with micro controller platforms.
