No, it's one of the main reasons why those who would like to run bare metal MicroPython are instead forced to use the bloated UIflow firmware, which has the relative unexposed 'lcd' driver within it in module 'm5stack'.
Over a year and still waiting for independent MicroPython versions of such modules ...
Is it possible that lcd.image expects an image smaller than the lcd? Perhaps it needs to be resized.
Have you tried displaying a small image?
+1 for Thonny, works great. Only drawback is that it does not yet have debug functionality for MicroPython.
Related to this request would be having the possibility of burning bare MicroPython from source, bringing in all M5Core drivers, and adding any user made apps, tables and pre-cooked code.
Ok, so after 10 days we have:
I'd be interested to hear from more people. M5Stack, do you have an idea of the distribution of operating systems for the community at large?
A good mix so far, interesting. Feel free to add your own, oh silent reader ;-)
I'll start. I use
2 = MicroPython
OK it works. So for future reference this is what I did:
From now on whenever you turn it on the Stick will run boot.py and then main.py in the /flash directory.
If when it's so running you attach the device to a computer via the USB cable, you can interrupt whatever it is doing by starting Thonny and hitting ctrl-F2 (Stop/Restart Backend), which will bring up the MicroPython REPL prompt. Cool.
I am curious about software platform usage in M5Stack devices, so here is my poll, just reply with the number that applies to you:
The figures on each line are the number of posts shown for each in the forum today.
Thanks for participating

Excellent, I will try that, thank you very much.
