      Hi,

      I'm sure that this is covered somewhere but I can't seem to find a definitive answer.

      I have been programming my core2 (and my stickC+) with uiflow for some time. Whilst it works fine, there are something that you cannot do with that system. I would like to get some better control over the hardware and get "closer to the metal" as it were.

      As a programmer (somewhat old-school and new to python) I would really like to be able to both do things with the hardware that I cannot do with uiflow and also enhance my learning of python.

      I did find an article that pointed me in the direction of using vscode and an m5stack add-on, but the article was quite old and I just got some strange errors when trying to execute even the simplest of code.

      So - can anyone please point me in the right direction? Or, possibly, just let me know that it can't be done?

      Many thanks
      Mike

        Hi Mike:
        The Arduino IDE is a program environment using a very easy and convenient version of C, with some C++!
        Very user friendly, but easy to get started. C compiles and overwrites everything in the ESP32.
        Python is very easy to learn, but it is an Interpreted Language with a large memory usage in the board's core.
        C is a world wide standard because it gets as close to the metal as you can stand.
        I've been using Arduino IDE ver1 for ten years The new version 2 is more powerful, but more confusing.

        Cheers, Terry!

          @mwright Have you tried visiting Micropython.org?
          These is an esp32 sub forum that has a few M5Stack members in it.

          UIFlow, so easy an adult can learn it!
          If I don't know it, be patient!
          I've ether not learned it or am too drunk to remember it!

          M5Black, Go, Stick, Core2, and so much more it cant be fit in here!
