@lukasmaximus thanks for verifying that my setup is correct. Will check out the urequests video as well.

Fortunately, USB mode is working for me, so, for now, I'll just use that to play around with my Faces dev kit.

Thanks y'all for the help 🙏🏽

@world101, @ajb2k3 unfortunately, Internet mode consistently fails for me. I've tried both servers (CN, SG)--no dice.

One thing I noticed is that the web IDEs show v1.4.5/v1.4.4 respectively, for CN and SG, but my device is on v1.5.1. Although, I was having this issue with v1.4.5 on the device as well, so maybe that's not the problem.

Is there any other way to debug these kinds of issues?

@world101, ok. I'll give it a couple of retries today. Will also try the Singapore server. I'm in the US, so it could very well be a latency/load issue.

Was just trying to make sure nothing's wrong with my setup/device etc.

@m5stack can someone please comment on the Internet connectivity issue ☝🏼? Is it working for anyone?

Thanks, @world101! I was able to burn uiFlow v1.4.5.1 on the device and update it, using the burner app.

Now, I'm able to connect to it from the desktop IDE via USB (when set in USB mode). I had to restart my Mac, though, for things to work.

One problem, however, is that it still doesn't connect to the device in Internet mode, via flow.m5stack.com. After I enter the APIKEY displayed in the device screen, I keep getting the same Upload code failed... error in this mode.

UPDATE 1: Looks like another user, @spoetnic, seems to be reporting a similar issue with the Internet approach (https://forum.m5stack.com/topic/1920/ide-crashes-after-startup-and-webide-cannot-connect-to-device-upload-code-failed-maybe-your-device-is-offline-check-it-and-retry/3), although they're on Windows.

UPDATE 2: So, I updated the firmware to v1.5.1. Still have the same issue. Internet mode refuses to work.

I setup mu-ide and connected to the device in USB mode, got a repl and ran the following commands:

>>> import network

>>> wlan = network.WLAN(network.STA_IF)
I (51991) system_api: Base MAC address is not set, read default base MAC address from BLK0 of EFUSE
I (51991) system_api: Base MAC address is not set, read default base MAC address from BLK0 of EFUSE

>>> wlan.ifconfig()

>>> import urequests

>>> urequests.get('https://www.google.com')
Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "libs/urequests.py", line 117, in get
  File "libs/urequests.py", line 54, in request
IndexError: list index out of range
>>> 

It's clearly connecting to my WiFi, getting an IP, but unable to make requests.

@lukasmaximus, please help!

Howdy, everyone!

M5Stack noob here. I've recently started playing with my M5Stack Faces Dev Kit. The device seems to work correctly. It boots into the micropython repl.

I've downloaded and installed the latest MacOS driver from silabs (https://www.silabs.com/products/development-tools/software/usb-to-uart-bridge-vcp-drivers), and then installed the latest uiFlow Desktop IDE.

With the device connected to my Mac via the provided cable, when I open the IDE, it lists the device, but fails to connect.

I'm not sure how to proceed now. Please let me know if there is any other information I need to provide.
