What machine can you not run M5Burner on? It’s supported on Windows, Mac, and Linux. Curious what else you might be using.

Anyway, you should be able to download M5Burner and extract the firmware from it, at least for Mac or Linux. Not sure about Windows... I’m a Mac guy.

Just to point out a possible issue, it looks I like you have a Control-C in your command by mistake. Is that a copy/paste error?

This is the orientation of how the SD card is inserted into the Core.
Note: In this picture the Core upside down.

This page shows how to put the Atom Matrix/Lite into USB (Desktop) mode.

“Press and hold the middle button while powering on (or when restarting), and do not release it until LED color change to blue.“

Great. Glad you got it sorted out and can begin enjoying M5Stack 😀

Cool. Are you displaying the information manually, or pulling it over HTTPS from the website?

I’m not on Mac OS BigSur yet, but if you are, then the following thread might help you.

@doubleness said in [M5Paper] UiFlow support:

Everytime I try to upload the code I get warning ' Lack block "Set screen set show" or "Set screen parital show" '

Not sure what I am doing wrong, any idea?

You need to have one of those blocks in your program to update the screen. They are under UI, then Screen in uiFlow.

I haven’t seen one for the m5stickC yet, but @felmue created one for the Atom Matrix. Maybe you can collaborate with him.

Have you followed the quick start guide for programming with Arduino?

Bug: When using UiFlow device firmware v1.7.2 on the Core devices, there is an option in Setup to generate new API key. Upon selecting it, the device locks up and you can no longer use the buttons to navigate the menu. You must hit the reset button to recover the device. After reset, the API key has not changed.
Note: generating a new API key works on the Core2 device with v1.7.2 firmware. This bug is for the Core devices.

What device are you using? Tested with Core Grey and Fire
What firmware are you using? v1.7.2
How did you burn the firmware into the device? M5Burner
Version of UIFlow you are using? Web IDE v1.7.2 beta
Steps to reproduce the issue so we could test it as well:
Boot device. Quickly press Setup button. Navigate to the option to generate a new API key. Select it. Then the device becomes unresponsive to button presses. Reset the device. API key stays the same.

Also, not applicable to the M5Paper yet (maybe in the future?), the v1.7.2 firmware for the Core2 has the ability to generate a new API key within the Setup menu, then uiFlow tab.

Core v1.7.2 firmware has it as well, but just locks up the device when I try to generate a new one. Seems like a bug. I’ll report it.

@ajb2k3 Actually, most of the time when I flash new firmware with M5Burner, it does assign a new API key to my device. Maybe that is because I always erase the flash before burning the firmware. I just tried it and it gave me a new API key.

@k33g give it a try. The Erase button is in the upper right corner of M5Burner. Then burn the latest M5Paper firmware.

It comes with uiFlow firmware from the factory. If you want to use Arduino, just flash any relevant Arduino sketch to it (like from the Examples) and it will erase the uiFlow (MicroPython) firmware. Just make sure your Arduino libs are up to date with the latest M5Stack libs. To get back to uiFlow in the future, use M5Burner.

I tried your flow and I see what you are saying. I think your issue is that your program has loops containing waits, which is causing blocking in the code. So when the button A is pressed to respond to the request, it is not received by the button callback. My suggestion is to use some timers to minimize the blocking.

I feel your pain. I’ve been buying M5Stack products for more than 3 years now, after learning about the company from their Kickstarter campaign. They are such cool “complete packaged” products and nothing like it in the market right now. I just can’t stop buying things from them. However, there are some serious challenges when you really dig into the details of the products. Engineering-wise they are pretty good and so compact. Sometimes there are hardware flaws (noisy speaker, conflicting GPIOs, m5stickC battery drain, etc.), but I’ve seen a relatively low number of those over the years. Is it perfect? Nope. Lacking documentation is the biggest complaint. Personally I think they release products a bit too quickly. I’m all about fast innovation, but IMHO they should wait until all software, docs, and good examples in Arduino and uiFlow/Micropython are ready. But their slogan is “ideas fast tracked” not “IoT products for retail and commercial solutions.” So you have to take the good with the bad I guess. 🤷🏼‍♂️

If you care to share your feedback, they released a customer survey here:

Different code...

Core:
lcd.setBrightness(10)

Core2:
screen.set_screen_brightness(10)

@powersoft
Do you only have 1 canvas? Try canvas instead of canvas1.

BTW, you can enclose your code in three back ticks (```) to make it easier for us to read, like this...

this text has three back ticks before and after it

I wish the blocks were in English so I don’t have to Google Translate it all 🤣🤣🤣.
Kidding though. I can tell by the block colors what’s going on. Nice job fixing it!
