I can be more specific.

When I "Download" from UI Flow 2 to the device, it works:

Press BtnA to switch on.
Press BtnA to switch off, once my program allows, with custom MPY:

hold_pin = Pin(46, Pin.OUT) hold_pin.value(0)

But a problem is if I LONG press (6 secs) BtnA, the device FULLY resets. It goes to the QR code and device Mac screen. That menu crashes almost immediately, meaning I can't rotate the dial to run my Python script. The only way to get it back working is to redownload from UI Flow 2?

Is there a way to turn off that long-press reset function? Or to stop the QR code menu from crashing, so I can at least run my program?

These details about long press BtnA or the reset button on the back don't seem to be covered by the main reference, https://docs.m5stack.com/en/core/M5Dial

Hi @xPalter
Have you tried XPowersLib? I think you can post an issue to the author to update AXP2102

@Russ

I had version 1.14 from you at the time
https://github.com/russhughes/ili9342c_mpy

which worked great for me for years on the M5Stack Core2.
But now there is a new version of Core2 version 1.1

Unfortunately, this version no longer runs with your version 1.14.
Is there a way to make the 1.14 version work with the new firmware 1.1?

The differences between Core2 and Core2 v1.1 are as follows:
1.The power management scheme is iterated from Core2(AXP192) to Core2 v1.1(AXP2101+INA3221). The ID of AXP192 and AXP2101 is different, and the program uses this as a sign to distinguish the versions;
2.The power indicator is changed from green to blue;
3.Add RTC chip power supply battery to ensure accurate timing when power is off.

@mehulge stuck with same issue, did you ever found the fix?

@JDZAWODNIAK not at present as I haven’t had time to work on a project.

@ajb2k3 I can only find this one for M5Stack products:-

@madsrassmussen Yes, I noticed this odd behavior starting in 2.0.3 and it seems to be a different odd in 2.0.4, but neither work as expected.

When letting the web terminal do the upload, the named file under 'apps' is zero bytes and the file contents end up in 'main.py'

In 2.0.3 I could download main.py to my PC, rename it, and use web terminal file manager to upload it into the apps folder, and all was well.

In 2.0.4 however, it almost seems like the device 'My Apps' menu/list is unaware of this file, even though it is listed. When selected the device runs the .py file listed after the one I selected instead.

I've also had the variable undefined errors but I think that is a different issue. Maybe not?
One example is copy/pasting the mpy code to a windows computer into say notepad.
The device requires unix style line endings, not windows line endings. It also requires no blank lines to exist.
(This is why I would copy the existing 'main.py', as it was already formatted correctly.)

Otherwise, most times the upload just doesn't work at all. I too have not found a pattern or submitted a bug report due to this lack of info. I wasn't even sure it wasn't just me :)
Hopefully someone more knowledgeable can chime in

Thank you for checking out my work in progress book on UIFLow1, Uiflow 2's version is on its way but hampered by bugs and issues.
One of the big changes in documents is the listing of API's, its taking me ages to find and log them.
The UIFlow2 API's are just additions built on micropython as with UIFlow.

There are a lot of users using VScode to program M5Stack devices but that beyond me until I can finish the Micropython/UIFlow docs.
I found MU way to simple but I use Thonny for most work outside of UIFlow.

Check out my Youtube channel for updated guides

The documentation is slow going as I have a day job.
Work in progress copies are posted to the Facebook page or my GITHUB repository

What's is your blog

This is still the case. I can't find any information on how to use the M5 Python Library.

Where does it live? I've seen a GitHub repo, but it mainly says C++ or Arduino. As far as I can tell, this is not good for me. Why can't I import it with pip? It's also not on https://pypi.org/. Why not if it is becoming a major player in the Pi world? What can I do with that library? What functions does it contain?

None of this stuff is easy to find, making this product unusable for use.
