The documentation of the M5 LVGL API does not state a method for specifying the background color of a M5Msgbox.
However, I found that a M5Msgbox object has a style property which has a set_bg_color method . So I tried this:

myMsgboxObj.style.set_bg_color(lvgl.STATE.DEFAULT, lvgl.color_hex(0x888888))

This does not produce an error but meither does it change the backgound color of the box.

Any ideas?

Looks like this ntptime timestamp is relative to 01/01/2000, and not to 01/01/1970 like the Epoch Unix timestamp.

Yes, watchdog timer could be an idea. The same can be done with a normal timer and calling machine.reset() when it fires.

However I was wondering if there was a more graceful way of handling this, e.g. interrupting just the hanging urequests.request() method and then continuing with the program without rebooting the whole device.

The urequests.request() method does not implement e timeout parameter (like its big brother). So if there is not response to a certain request, the method will hang forever.

To work around this I am starting a timer just before the urequests.request() call and stop it directly after it. So if the method does not return within a define time, the timer will fire and I can do something.

So the question is, when the timer fires, which means urequests.request() is stuck, what can I do to recover? One thing could be to reset the device. But is there a more soft way to do this and continue with the application?

Thanks, Ondrej

Thanks a lot. This seems exactly what I was looking for. Command line is not a problem. Will try it.

I accidentally deleted the wav file in the res/ folder on the Core2 flash (don't remember the exact name of the file). But you could just rename it. Now the startup sound is gone. So this is a qick'n'dirty fix if you don't want this sound.

Is it possible to distribute a Micropython application (for Core2 in my case) as binary flash image which can simply be burned on the device with M5Burner?

We would need a way to create that image from a device running the application and having all needed files installed.

Any idea ?

According to this documentation the object returned by M5Screen() has the methods get_new_screen() and load_screen().
These seem to allow switching between multiple screens but I cannot work out how is this supposed to work. Can anyone point me to some example code which shows the correct usage of these functions ?

Thanks a lot.

Thanks. I checked on the Core2 and here battery voltage also ranges from about 3.2V to 4.2V.

I see that your code applies to the M5stickC. Do you think the table is the same for the M5 Core2?
