Great to see UIFlow 2.0 making Wi-Fi access easier on the Tab5. Regarding your issue - yes, UIFlow’s interface thread keeps running in the background even when you execute custom MicroPython via serial. That’s why UI elements like “POWER” or “SLEEP” still respond. It’s part of the UIFlow runtime. For full control, consider disabling the UIFlow runtime before running your code.

Hi! As of now, there isn’t an official Eagle library specifically for the M5StampS3. You can try using a generic ESP32-S3 footprint or create a custom library based on the unit’s datasheet. Hopefully, M5Stack or the community will release official libraries soon.

Hi! This error often happens due to unstable USB connections or driver issues. Try these steps: use a different USB cable (preferably a high-quality, data-capable one), connect directly to your Mac’s USB port (avoid hubs), and restart your Mac before uploading. Also, check that your ESP32-S3 drivers are properly installed and up to date. Lowering the upload baud rate (e.g., from 921600 to 115200) in the Arduino IDE can improve stability. If it persists, try uploading from another computer to rule out hardware issues. Hope this helps!

You're clearly doing everything right—this is a common ESP32 upload issue. Since the Core2 boots and shows output in Serial Monitor, the USB connection works, but upload mode isn't triggering.

Here’s what to try (if you haven’t already):

1. Hold Boot Button (if available): While uploading, hold the reset/boot button until upload starts. Some Core2s need manual bootloader mode.

2. Try 115200 Baud: You've tried this—stick with it; higher speeds can fail on some USB ports.

3. Check CP210x or CH340 Driver: Reinstall the correct USB-to-serial driver for the Core2.

If none of that helps, your Core2’s USB-UART chip might be defective. Exchange it through M5Stack support.

The W5500 Ethernet library for Arduino does not natively support setting a DHCP hostname in its standard implementation. If you're using Ethernet.h, it lacks this functionality. For advanced DHCP options like hostname, consider using the EthernetENC or UIPEthernet library, which offer extended DHCP support. Alternatively, you’d need to modify the DHCP client in the library to include the hostname in the DHCP request packet manually.

Welcome aboard! Great starting point with Python and the M5Stick/Flipper - hands-on tools make learning fun. For cybersecurity, focus on networking basics (try CompTIA Network+), then dive into Linux, bash, and tools like Wireshark or Nmap. Use your old computer for practice: install Kali Linux and start with safe, local labs like TryHackMe or Hack The Box. Keep learning, stay curious, and always practice ethically. You’re on the right path - just take it one step at a time!

This error usually happens when your project path includes spaces (e.g., /Users/Your Name/Documents/...). Try moving your project to a folder without spaces in the path, like /Users/YourName/Projects/M5StackAWS. Then re-open the project in VS Code. That should fix the issue without needing to modify the ini file.

This error usually means the uploaded firmware didn't flash correctly. Try these steps:

Use a different USB cable and port.

Press the reset button on your M5Stack before uploading.

Make sure you have the latest Arduino M5Stack libraries and board definitions.

Try erasing the flash completely using esptool (esptool.py erase_flash).

Reboot your PC and M5Stack.

If it persists, it could be a hardware fault, but most often it’s a flashing or connection issue.

To fix incorrect timestamps in V-Training photos, update your device's firmware, check and set the RTC (sync via Wi-Fi or manually), and reconfigure the app. Also, format the SD card to FAT32. If issues persist, try a factory reset.

Yes, this is a common issue with M5Stick C flashing. Try holding the G0 button while connecting the USB cable to enter bootloader mode, then start the flash. Also, double-check your USB drivers and try a different USB port directly on your PC (avoid hubs). If problems persist, adding a 10µF capacitor between EN and GND can help stabilize the reset line. Make sure the serial port is correctly selected, and close other apps using it. This usually resolves the “Failed to connect to ESP32” errors.

Port A on the M5Dial is hardwired for I2C and shares pins with the internal screen, so repurposing it for TWAI/serial isn’t feasible without major conflicts. For dual CAN, consider using an external UART-to-CAN adapter or a separate GPIO header (if available) to assign alternate TX/RX pins for the second CAN interface.

It looks like PlatformIO is still uploading your filesystem as SPIFFS despite setting board_build.filesystem = littlefs. This happens because the default partition table might not reserve space for LittleFS. Try creating a custom partition table that supports LittleFS and specify it in platformio.ini with board_build.partitions. Also, ensure your LittleFS_esp32 library is compatible with M5Core2. Without proper partitioning, mounting fails with corrupted directory errors like yours. Let me know if you want help generating a suitable partition CSV file!

For the M5Stack Core2, Grove Port A uses I2C on GPIO 21 (SDA) and GPIO 22 (SCL). However, when using a Pb.HUB, you're communicating with the hub over I2C, and each connected unit (like relays or RGB) is addressed virtually via the hub.

Since openHASP doesn't natively support Pb.HUB devices, you can’t directly control GPIOs through it. Instead, you’d need custom firmware or integrate via ESPHome or Arduino to bridge Pb.HUB control with openHASP.

TL;DR: GPIO 21/22 for I2C, but control of devices via Pb.HUB needs extra handling outside openHASP.
