@wsanders
looks like some kind of version problem, have you upgraded all libraries to the newest version?

@nnazar EZData was only designed for testing MQTT services.
I recommend getting something like the CoreMP135 or the CM4 stack, and building your own private dedicated MQTT server on that.

@gantini The sensor is a capacitive sensor and so the higher the reading the lower the moisture level.
These are superior to the resistive sensors that rot easy but work the same way.

Please follow this instruction and see if helps:

1. Observe whether there are any obvious physical damage marks on the device.
2. Install the device driver:
   1. Windows: https://m5stack.oss-cn-shenzhen.aliyuncs.com/resource/drivers/CH9102_VCP_SER_Windows.exe
   2. macOS: https://m5stack.oss-cn-shenzhen.aliyuncs.com/resource/drivers/CH9102_VCP_MacOS_v1.7.zip
3. Connect the device using a USB cable and open the device manager. Check whether the device manager page refreshes when the device is inserted, and whether a new device appears in Universal Serial Bus controllers. If not:
   1. If you are using USB C to C cable: First disconnect the StickCPlus, turn off the device, and then plug in the cable (press and hold the power button until the green light turns on to indicate that it is turned off). Or replace it with an A to C cable.
   2. If you are using USB A to C cable: "Try to change the data cable", "Try to reinstall the driver", "Try to change the PC".
4. Reburn the factory firmware: https://docs.m5stack.com/en/guide/restore_factory/m5stickc_plus.
5. The screen is still black after burning:
   1. Press and hold the leftmost button until the green light inside turns on, then plug in the USB cable
   2. Observe whether the screen is black but has a faint backlight, and whether there is a beep sound when pressing the button

@Zverik
that's a bit of weird, i think you should try flash the factory firmware to test out if that was a hardware failure

@davincino
i think you can get some inspiration from this sketch!

1. If you are using Windows 10, upgrade your Windows system to the latest version.
2. Use other operating systems to compile (such as Linux distributions).
3. First, make sure that "rom\miniz.h" exists in Arduino's ESP32 board manager files. Then try to manually change all paths containing #include <rom/miniz.h> to absolute paths. For example, #include "C:\Users\admin\Documents\Arduino\libraries\esp32-xxx\xxxxxx\rom\miniz.h"

@mdseldon
are you able to access the serial log?

@meowoha
have you tried this: https://github.com/m5stack/M5StickCPlus2/blob/master/examples/Basic/mic/mic.ino

@twigs said in Using M5Stack for Custom Signage Displays – Need Advice:

Hey everyone, I’ve been exploring M5Stack modules for a custom signage controller project—curious if anyone here has experience using UIFlow or MicroPython for real-time display updates?"
"Also open to suggestions on the best units for LED or TFT screen integrations—appreciate any tips!

For a start, Micropython is not a realtime language, it is an interpreted language.

The biggest issue for signage is that of memory and ram, the bigger the sign, the more the memory is required.
