Hi Gavin, I moved on to some other projects and did not have time to come back to this one yet (even though I would really like to achieve something with IR + M5StickC+). I found a 3rd party IR library on the internet but it was quite a challenge to integrate it to the M5 ecosystem....work in progress but not much time at the moment. I'll keep you posted as I resume my work on this.

Just answering to myself :) I spent the whole day digging into LVGL lib on the Core2. I must say there's a huge learning curve for me (I'm just a hobbyist with just average knowledge). I initially thought it would be very easy to use but this is definitely not the case (again, for me). However I am happy because I guess I have understood the basic concepts and I was finally able to diplay objects like buttons or sliders on the screen and interact with the touch display. This library is incredibly powerful. The fact that I am playing with others devices than M5Stack stuff motivates me to keep on investigating as I will be able to use it on almost any other screen devices. Would be great to use this post if you want to share your experience with LVGL and the Core2.

@erich said in Fail to burn: @ajb2k3 Honnestly I litteraly spent days trying to solve it... esp forums / github, MStack support, etc.... I don't think the problem is coming from the chip, from the hours I spent reading forums and github threads it looks more like a bad implementation of python / esptool / pyserial in big sur. And yes you're right: i want to be fair here, I downgraded mainly because of this issue with my core2 but also because I had continous crashes with Safari and the system was sometimes slowing down without any reason. First time I have to downgrade an operating system...Big Sur is definitely a Big Sxxt :) I'm so distrustful of updates that I'm still on mojave!

@ajb2k3 thanks for your answer but as you can see just above I already got the answer from another post on the forum. In fact this is not that simple. Yes you can flash the device with the binaries found on the MicroPython website but then you only get the basic lib to get access to the ESP32. If you want to take advantage of all 'surrounding' features like touch screen, accelerometer etc...then, unlike with UIFlow where the libs do encapsulate all those surrounding features, you have to dig yourself and find the correct libs as M5Stack is not providing one.
