      Hi,

      I wanted to install the MicroPython firmware on my M5Stack, and start programming in from scratch (without all the preinstalled bloat and CloudIDE stuff).
      I just managed to flash the original MicroPython Firmware to my M5Stack. Works so far. I am able to get a REPL via serial connection ober UART0.
      But in order to do something more with MicroPython I guess I need to install the M5Stack Python libraries now. I am not very experienced and have no clue how to do this. Can anyone give me an hint what I need to do next?

        REPL works with the stock UIFlow firmware (to a degree)
        You will need a command line tool to install python libs.
        For more information on this take a look in the Blynk UIFlow discussion.

              If you want to use a basic MicroPython firmware without all the bloat (preloaded apps/games, etc.) and CloudIDE (i.e. uiFlow) stuff that comes with the stock firmware, you should try this repo:
              https://github.com/m5stack/M5Stack_MicroPython

              Or you could give this one a try as well:
              https://github.com/tuupola/micropython-m5stack

                    @world101 is there one for M5StickC? The sample codes are for the larger model.

                      Not to my knowledge. You would need to flash the m5stickC with the standard MicroPython firmware (see this link) then manually import whatever m5stickC libs you want to use from here.

                          Hi @lukasmaximus ! Any idea on when an updated version of the micropython m5stack libraries will be available? Since the ones in here are not complete, and don't if they are up to date with the current version used in uiflow
