I cannot get a program to autostart in an Atom Matrix. After I switch modes with button/reset and release at purple, the screen turns black and stays black through reset and power on. I also tried naming it "main", and also "main.py", but no luck.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks
David

I finally loaded Windows 10 into a VirtualBox VM, and that works for me.

@m5stack
Thanks for that. I have loaded all the libraries. I have tried choosing M5StickC or ESP32-Pico for the AtomMatrix. Neither the Atom, nor the M5StickCs will load. I can load after powering up with G0 grounded.

I have OSX 10.10.5. I have tried the Updater_FW20200422 py program, but it fails.

Thanks for any advice!

@ajb2k3
You can program them on OSX?

If so, how do you do it?

Thx David

Hi --
It is not made clear on the M5STack website that the Atom is not programmable with OSX or Linux, but only with Wondows! I own several useless Atoms.

When will a method of programming these little wonders be made available? Or open source it, and let the web do its magic.
