3. Simple Hello World with PlatformIO and M5Dial

Simple Hello World with PlatformIO and M5Dial

  • U

    I am just getting started with M5Dial. I have some programs working in Arduino studio program but Visual Studio Code and PlatformIO seems way better.

    Here is where I am stuck:
    I have the platformio.ini file like this:

    [env:m5stack-cores3]
    platform = espressif32
    board = m5stack-cores3
    framework = arduino

    lib_deps =
    m5stack/M5Dial
    m5stack/M5GFX
    m5stack/M5Unified

    upload_speed = 115200
    monitor_speed = 115200

    and my main.cpp program is simply:

    #include <Arduino.h>

    #include "M5Dial.h"
    #include <WiFi.h>
    #include <M5GFX.h>

    void setup() {
    // put your setup code here, to run once:
    auto cfg = M5.config();
    M5Dial.begin(cfg, true, true);
    M5Dial.Display.setBrightness(34);
    M5Dial.Display.fillScreen(0xABE1);
    M5Dial.Display.setTextDatum(4);
    Serial.print("Test");
    }

    void loop() {
    // put your main code here, to run repeatedly:
    }

    Everything compiles and uploads but screen is blank. Serial monitor equivalent complains about a lot.

    Did I choose the wrong board?
    board = m5stack-cores3

    After I wrote all of this I figured out I did have the wrong board specified:
    board = m5stack-stamps3
    seems to be correct.

    Now I can't get USBSerial functions to work, and previously any Serial.print statements didn't work but I am one step further!
