IR Block not available

[Dave_White]

Hi there,

UI Flow and IR capability were my reasons for buying a M5Stack C Plus.
I would like you to add the missing block in order to finish the hardware list.

Thank you

Hello @Dave_White

in the mean time you could use Advanced - PIN and setup GPIO9 (IR) as pin0 / output and then set pin0 LOW to turn the IR LED on.

Below MicroPython code lets the IR LED blink:

from m5stack import *
from m5ui import *
from uiflow import *
import machine
import time

setScreenColor(0x111111)
pin0 = machine.Pin(9, mode=machine.Pin.OUT, pull=0x00)
while True:
  pin0.off()
  wait(1)
  pin0.on()
  wait(1)

Cheers
Felix
