Manually as I haven't worked out the server side of things. I hit a ram issue on the coreink preventing me pulling it from online so I need to work out how to make a server to do the lifting and parsing.

Hello @calmasacow I get the impression you are trying to do to many things at once. May I suggest you start slow and take it step by step? first make sure you can upload a program from your computer successfully and multiple times start with a simple program like this then try to modify it, for instance by changing the text Only if above steps work reliably it makes sense to continue with your own stuff. Good luck! Felix

I'm trying to push for a unified API but the problem is that some of the devices are slightly different and require slightly different commands. Please add your request for a unified API to the suggestions list.

Hello @LasNiko nice project! You can use three backticks before and after the code. Full description here. Thanks Felix

Hi Guys, ihm new with M5Stack. I have a MCore2 and try compile this in visual code with plattform.io. How i must use the code in Plattform.io ? If i compile the code, the device showing black screen. Can anyone help me ?

Hi @vgamlc I haven't tried it myself but according to this document the library should be included in the Arduino IDE library manager: Installation painlessMesh is included in both the Arduino Library Manager and the platformio library registry and can easily be installed via either of those methods. Cheers Felix

Hello David wow, nice project! Regarding power supply via 5v bus. There is a function called SetBusPowerMode() which allows to switch between internal 5v boost (default) and being powered externally, e.g. from 5v bus. Unfortunately it is broken and the pull-request I've posted a while ago has not been merged yet. If you're interested you can still give it a try: https://github.com/m5stack/M5Core2/pull/10 Calling the function in setup() with input parameter set to 1 switches to external power and the 5v from the bus are taken to power the Core2. It also charges the battery. e.g. M5.Axp.SetBusPowerMode(1); Note: Without battery installed you'll need to modify the existing call to this function in void AXP192::begin(void) else the M5Core2 cuts itself off shorty after booting. Greetings from Winterthur Felix

Hello Van sounds like a plan - thank you. Glad to help out. Cheers Felix P.S. I am very sorry for misspelling your name previously (fixed now).

I implemented the Nixie tube clock in uiFlow IDE for the M5StickC-Plus device. [image: 1599001318721-clock_h2.jpg] https://github.com/bstein2379/M5StickC-Plus-Nixie-clock Credit goes to @macsbug for the original idea. I just made it easier for new programmers and kids by using the uiFlow IDE.

Really cool and we’ll documented. Being new to UIFLOW, is there a way to get that code into UIFlOW to play with it? Is there a .m5f I’m not seeing? Thanks, Paul

@vkichline Thank you, I'm glad you like it. Once the upload issue is fixed, I'll share the m5f file, anybody then can easily change the color to their liking or infact modify it entirely if desired, there's most likely things in there that could have been done in a better way. (Feel free to point them out, I'm still learning)

@taxfromdk difficult to change the battery. probably to cause damage. so don't do that

Thanks for the info. Solves the issue. So looking at the schematic I would connect to pin 28 for 5V and pin 1,3 or 5 for GND. Cheers.
