Hi, My name is Adam and as the M5Stack community grows everyday I thought I would be interesting to see who is active here and what part of the M5Stack environment is interesting to you the most.
For me is has to be UIFlow as it is the first environment that has allowed me to work with the ESP32 family without major difficulties.
I’m currently working on a UIFlow handbook and some STEM projects.
I have shared a little about me, is anyone else willing to join in?
When you install UIFlow and finish setting up the wifi, the API key will be displayed on the screen along with the mode and the network you have connected the device to.
HY2.0-4P or grove connectors,
VH3.96 for the orange connectors.

Grove is a standard of cable design created by seedstudio as you have noticed.
It uses a 4 pin JST-PH connector with a 2mm centre between pins.
There are 2 main cables latching and non latching. Latching is used for sensors and actuators that need to be connected to controllers where as non latching is needed to plug into the controller (M5Stack/ SeeedStudio Wio).
You just need to snip the latch off of one end of the cable to plug into controllers or devices tat have the clip covered.
There are also 2 varients of the cable on the market one has the colours Black, Red, White, Yellow, and the other has Black, Red, Yellow, White.
There are however additional Seeedstudio/M5Stack cables that are
Grove 2 Grove,
Grove 2 Stemma,
Grove 2 Dupont Male,
Grove to dupont Female.
You download M5Burner,
Connect the M5Stack,
Select the USB port,
Download the latest firmware version for the M5Stack,
Erase the software on the device with the erase button,
Write the UIFlow version to the device and wait for it to restart,
Close M5Burner,
Open wifi manager and connect to M5 wifi device,
Open web browser and goto the IP address on the screen,
Select your home wifi and type in password (spaces are not allowed in wifi SSID),
If you connect succesfully, the API with be shown on the screen as it tries to connect to the UIFlow web server.
You can't connect to Blynk 2.0 until there is a big rebuild of the firmware as blynk uses the Virtual twin aka template method to connect whereas the old Blynk just used the username password combo.
@wsanders M5Stack hit the space limit for the MP firmware and had to remove several fonts. V2 firmware should fix this issue.

The non AWS core will work fine with AWS IOT services (I wrote a guide on it) the problem is that the AWS base has some security certificates programmed into it which are causing issues as they are out of date.
inter-erasure? I don't know what autocorrect did to my comment, sorry!
The S3 does NOT work like previous generation devices and you have to put it into "Boot Loader" mode by holding in a button before a serial connection can be open to use the REPL terminal.

@alejandro_baup I have been asking for a few weeks but there looks to be an issue with sdxards at present
I'm slowly creating a book for UIFlow here https://github.com/Ajb2k3/UIFlowHandbook
so any feedback is appreciated.
BTW if you have Facebook you can see updates on the M5Stack facebook group.
@windegg The desktop IDE hasn't been updated in a long time and (from what I was told) will not be updated until UIFlow2 reaches a stable (none Alpha test) version.
Unfortunately not. Arduino work on a lower level than MicroPython and so runs directly on the hardware. Micropython is an interpreted language and so need to install a boot loader/ interpreter to run.
It can be inconvenient to have to install the MP boot loader when you want to switch back but its now a simple process.
In UIFLow the Socket menu has only blocks for UDP. How do I can TCP sockets?
Are they supported or do I have to call them with a custom block?
The Precompiled binary is in the M5Burner firmware burner program along with other precompiled firmwares.
@lovyan03 are you still here?
@felmue There is no batteries in the Station485
However you may have also found a bug.
