Hey everyone

I'm new to the M5 Stack. I've got a good understand of the devices with the UIFlow tool. Now i would like to switch my developments to PyCharm (which i use daily for other stuff). I've got the MicroPython plugin installed and i can deploy/flash my scripts to the device (at least it looks like) and have REPL Access to the device.

What i'm troubling with at the moment:

• my PyCharm does not know about the M5 Libs
• flashed applications do not really run on the device even thou it says 100% deployed. Looks like i miss something.
• is there a way to debug my application like i'm used to do with classical python applications

There is an other question; There are custom micropython firmwares out there... Ive tried some of them and even build my own. But none of them really worked and most of the builds do not build at all. The firmwares i've found are all more than 3 years old. Are this firmwares no longer needed?

I would be happy if someone could give me a situation summary of the micropython topic on m5stack :) Thanks so much!

I have the following two units:

https://shop.m5stack.com/collections/m5-sensor/products/rf-unit-433mhz-receiver-syn513r
https://shop.m5stack.com/collections/m5-sensor/products/rf-unit-433mhz-transmitter-syn115

In UIFlow under units they are not listed. Does anyone have example code how to use them in python?
Thanks

@felmue said in How to get the GPS Unit NEO-M8 working with the Core 2:

you made my day!!!! Thank you so much! Now i'm only lacking of signal :-P But a visit on the balcony should solve that issue too...

Hi @felmue
Thank you for your reply. Found the GPS Module thanks to your help! But i still don't get it running. As soon as i setup the GPS interface the device crashes. This is my code:

from m5stack import *
from m5stack_ui import *
from uiflow import *
import module

screen = M5Screen()
screen.clean_screen()
screen.set_screen_bg_color(0xffffff)

try:
  gps = module.get(module.GPS, (16, 17))
except:
  pass
label = M5Label('Loading', x=107, y=113, color=0xff0000, font=FONT_MONT_14, parent=None)

The numbers RX/TX Numbers 16/17 i've got from the board and the documentation. With this code the device keeps crashing without any further error message.

Hi everyone, i'm new to the M5Stack. I'm trying to get the GPS Module on my Core 2 running. The application (i guess at least) crashes and restarts the unit.

From the Unit Part of UI Flow my GPS is not listed there, so i took the only GPS module available.

Here is the software:

And this is the hardware:

Hope someone could give me a Hand to start in this world ;)

Btw. i'm quite familiar with python. Any Solution in Python is welcome too.
