correct. That's called product placement.
No matter if the software is avaialble, ripe or not.
There are other new products with the ESP32 S3 pushed on the market, also without software support or only with a small demo app.

Ui Flow 2.0 looks nice. But it lacks functionality.
Tested with a new Core S3 and wanted to test out the built in Camera. But how to do it either in micropython or with blockly ?

Once you start selling the devices, the software must be ready and support all features of the device.

In my case I wanted to test the camera if it is possible to use the built in camera as a barcode reader, this would be a great application.

Second question to uiflow 2.0: Where have the examples gone ?
Even as an experienced programme, the demos are a good starting point for testing out a device or a unit.

Third question: How about the support of the stackable-modules for the Core S3 ? How to access them in the UiFlow 2.0 ? can we reuse the modules for the older M5 Stack models ?

@ajb2k3 said in UiFlow 2.0 Alpha verison discuss(how-to, bug, feature request or sometings):

@flex Some people and groups cant use the cloud platform and so local programming like with the microbic and RPI is needed for them

This is true. If you build an internal application for a company on the internal network, the devices will not have cloud access or they have to switch always the wlan.
A Desktop uiflow version is still a good alternative to the cloud version !

In UiFlow using the get interface mac config.
it reports the mac in a binary version i.e. b'\xa4\xcf\x12m\x95\xa4'

This is not usable!

It must be formatted in the ususal format with 6 hexadecimal bytes

There is an easy solution on that:

import ubinascii
mac_hex = ubinascii.hexlify(wifi_mac,':').decode().upper()

and then the mac address is format as example: A1:C2:00:FF:45:E5

Please include this bugifx in the next UiFlow version.

y la otra manera es de connectar el Atom con USB al PC y usar M5Burner. Abre la configuration de WiFi / inalambrico / modo de menu etc. y aya se ve el API KEY

When using the EasyLoader_Atomic_GPS.exe the GPS data are transferred, it takes some time for initializing, but then it works.

Using the newest UIFlow version it does not receive any data, even after many hours outside under the sky.

Maybe my UIFlow sketch is wrong. As there is no demo, nor a documentation what must be doen to initialize the Atom GPS to make it work under UIFlow ?

A very nice tool, the M5Stack Atom Display.
Finally, we can connect a bigger display where needed.
But it lacks the connection of the touchscreen, a keyboard or a Mouse and the graphical options as there are for the Core 2.

So what is missing is an USB connection and an integration for the touch screen..
Adding additionally the LVGL to UIFlow would create a killer application!

Would be perfect to use with the M5Stack Atom Display with a 7 inch display.

But does it run on an Atom ?

I guess the difference is based on the version.
1.7.5 and 1.10.5 are not the same.

You have to download the newest version here : https://static-cdn.m5stack.com/resource/software/UIFlow-Desktop-IDE.zip
this is Version 1.9.5

M5Stack announced that this is the last offline version.

In future, there is only the online version available.
For most users sufficient. But if you have to programm severla devices for a company internal application, wihtout cloud and internet access, how would you do that ?

The USB Module is only partially isable.
The GPIOs and a HID Mouse are accessible.
It is missing a HID-Keyboard integration and the integration as USB-Serial Port for Data Communication.
