Bluetooth in UI Flow

[Exie]

Hi Folks,

I'm new here, just picked up my first device, an M5 Atom Matrix.

I've spent a day watching videos about UI Flow which is a really neat way to get started. The only notable omission is - no Bluetooth!
It lists BLE as a feature on the box and it is supported by the processor, but just not exposed in UI Flow.

This is sad as its a big step from using M5 Burner and UI Flow to get started so easily to now compiling MicroPython and bundling packages into it that I can push down onto the device manually. I really hope I don't end up going to C with PlatformIO to use the device.

Even if Bluetooth wasn't exposed in UI Flow, but the python bluetooth module was installed in the UIFlow_Matrix image (currently 1.7.6)

hmm there is BLE in advance:

@mati It seems it's not available for Sticks and Atoms.

On the box is says BLE ...

Just not implemented in the UI

By way of extension, the bluetooth statck doesnt seem to be in the UI Flow 1.7.6 image for the Atom Matrix:
