      Hi

      Why is it so complicated to set up the development environement for the m5paper?

      The only reliable environment is the UIflow, which works consistently. but seems a bit limited.

      The other other environments I've tried are Arduino - painfully slow (even with output disabled), and after compiling it doesnt reset the m5paper to run the code. I assume a later library or something has broken it?

      ditto for VScode and Moddable

      The "Hard resetting via RTS" doesn't reset it.
      Python 3.11 seems to have broken it

      Maybe I'm being a bit impatient, but I dont want to have weeks configuring/fixing broken development environment(s), I want to learn how code for the m5paper.

      => Which is stable and doesn't take ages to compile programs, and is compatible with m5paper?

      Maybe my expectations were a bit high, but it does seem to be new user hostile!
      Maybe I should stick with the UIflow.

      Ta

          I tried to teach a YouTuber Arduino core the AtomS3 and I hate Arduino it is a monster pain to use and so many libraries have to be installed just to do anything.

          Also Ink/papers are complicated because they work fundamentally differently to tft/LCD OLED displays.

          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!

            @ajb2k3 thanx for your afford, but that makes no sense. functionality will be same and just needs to be adjusted to the display. we all know that e-ink is different than lcd, so its no help pointing that out.
