[Solved]Where to get basic (offline?) MicroPython firmware with lcd module support?
-
I did come across this info about on screen repl https://forum.micropython.org/viewtopic.php?t=5589
i2c = machine.I2C(scl=machine.Pin(4), sda=machine.Pin(5)) oled = ssd1306.SSD1306_I2C(128, 64, i2c) from FBConsole import FBConsole console = FBConsole(oled) os.dupterm(console)

@jpilarski That's helpful!
I'll give that a shot tonight and see how it goes.Overall, there are a lot of things I want to document about the M5Stack in terms of running micropython. I'm learning TONs of fun new stuff since I got it.

@sethwoodworth I mate, sorry, documenting micropython has been delayed as I'm working on UIFlow blocky side of things along with hardware. You can see my progress in projects section.

Huge apologies! I didn't mean to criticize, I meant to say there is an opportunity for me to contribute to the ecosystem. The M5Stack hardware is absolutely fantastic, and I absolutely love what you're doing with blockly, and will very likely contribute code to those projects. I'm shocked that the platform isn't more popular already! The Odroid-go has less-awesome hardware than the FACES kit, and is 3/5s of the price.
You really ought to sell a version of the FACES kit with only the gameboy face and core unit, once you have better documentation around the emulation/homebrew situation. If you could sell it for around the price of the odroid-go, you'd get a lot of folks invested in the platform.

Sorry if it sounded like a complaint, I didn't mean it to and you are welcome to write your own book as mine will be somewhat basic. (aimed more at beginners)
If you do start writing, please feel free to share some here as I don't use anything written by forum members without requesting and attributing.
I'm sharing my WIP work so that I can improve and create a manual that people will want to use.
@lukasmaximus @m5-docs would there be interested in @sethwoodworth's faces suggestion?
@sethwoodworth there is nothing to stop you from working on it in fact, If you know enough about that then I recommend you have a go at trying to create an emulation document.

I think @sethwoodworth suggestion is a great idea and one that i've thought about alot myself. Some classic games such as doom, duke nukem and tyrian have been ported already to the esp32 our Japanese community have also released some games and emulators for retro computers that were released only in Japan it would just take someone with the technical know how to alter a few things in the code to get some of the aforementioned games running on the M5Stack. I personally feel the buttons on the gameboy face feel a little cheap and not so comfortable for gaming but once the emulation/homebrew scene for m5stack is more lively I think it would be very beneficial for us to release a gaming kit which feels nicer for gaming, I'd prefer a super nintendo style controller mounting with the buttons and dpad on opposite sides off the screen not sure what you guys think of that

Hi...I think they must have been using loboris's micropython version, as I haven't seen any of our engineers using or suggesting this function. in the forum you linked to it mentioned something about the webrepl, I have seen various guides on how to do this for esp32, but haven't tried it myself on the m5stack yet.
