new folders



  • How can I create new folders on the M5Stack under VSC?



  • Hi @Wolli01 although there is a little plus button next to each folder once you have connected your m5stack to vscode, this will only generate files. To create a folder you need to open a terminal in vscode or your native terminal application on your computer, start a serial communication with
    screen /dev/tty.SLAB_USBtoUART 115200
    then hit ctrl + c to kill any current processes
    type import os
    to import the python operating system module which will allow you to browse the file system, create folders, delete files etc..

    then use the command mkdir('name of folder')
    to create a new folder with a name of your choice



  • @lukasmaximus Thank You



  • I'm trying to do this on the M5StickC and the "mkdir" command doesn't work. It just says "NameError: name 'mkdir' isn't defined"

    Is there a different module on the M5StickC that holds these file system commands?
