    • Faces stock firmware tft repl source?

      I love that the FACES kit comes with a python repl by default. There is an error message of "OSError: [Errno 2] ENOENT" followed by the Micropython repl prompt. I've done a lot of exploration of the github micropython repos, and exploration of the firmware's local filesystem and compiled modules.

      I can't find the source for the FACES stock firmware, although someone helpfully uploaded it to github, and it's available in the M5burner application.

      Could someone from M5Stack post the source for their python tft repl? I'd very much like to extend it, and be able to load it from the UIFlow script chooser.

      @sethwoodworth I mate, sorry, documenting micropython has been delayed as I'm working on UIFlow blocky side of things along with hardware. You can see my progress in projects section.

      Huge apologies! I didn't mean to criticize, I meant to say there is an opportunity for me to contribute to the ecosystem. The M5Stack hardware is absolutely fantastic, and I absolutely love what you're doing with blockly, and will very likely contribute code to those projects. I'm shocked that the platform isn't more popular already! The Odroid-go has less-awesome hardware than the FACES kit, and is 3/5s of the price.

      You really ought to sell a version of the FACES kit with only the gameboy face and core unit, once you have better documentation around the emulation/homebrew situation. If you could sell it for around the price of the odroid-go, you'd get a lot of folks invested in the platform.

      @jpilarski That's helpful!
      I'll give that a shot tonight and see how it goes.

      Overall, there are a lot of things I want to document about the M5Stack in terms of running micropython. I'm learning TONs of fun new stuff since I got it.

      I too had a FACES M5Stack arrive running a python repl that was lost as soon as I flashed another program.
      There was an EOINT error of some kind, possibly something crashed to the python repl and it wasn't intended to ship that way?
      Regardless, I would very very much like to be able to extend the python repl on the device. The keyboard face is awesome, and there is plenty of functionality to add, like scrollback.
      What source was this image built from? I think that it was compiled by Ziban based on strings inside the image.
