@ajb2k3 said in M5Stack incompatable with Arduino 1.8.8.Release:

freertos

Could it be that the compatibility issue is with freertos then and not the arduino IDE, I'm not so familiar with freertos to be honest so I would not know where to start on testing. Looks interesting though, is freertos the framework that the multiapp and M5EZ firmwares are built upon?

Hi @ajb2k3 myself and @watson both tested the new IDE with multiple different models of the M5stack on both windows and Mac and didn't have any issues. Perhaps you could give us more info on your setup and perhaps a screenshot or copy and paste of the exact error message.

Thanks

Please refer to this topic http://forum.m5stack.com/topic/426/m5flow-version-1-0-0-m5-stick-connection/6

Thanks for the notification, I'll test this today

@ajb2k3 I haven't opened one up yet so I cant say for sure

@kurthofman

currently most of the graphics blocks do not work directly with the stick yet without some modification.
For instance you can use the lcd.line and lcd.rect blocks in graphics but the hex value for colour needs to be removed from the code since the OLED is a monochrome display.

For example

lcd.line(5, 5, 3, 3)
lcd.rect(8, 8, 10, 10)

For displaying text the lcd.text function is used. There is no blocks for this as of yet but you can type
lcd.text(x value, y value) which I think is limited to 8 characters per line.

For example

lcd.text('hello',8, 5)
lcd.text('world',8, 12)

The speaker blocks work without modification, and most of the units should be able to interface normally
with the stick on port A, I'm still testing so I cannot 100% confirm this.
The Led can also be controlled with the digital write blocks in the Pin section

Hope this helps

I agree. it is pretty hard to find specific information on this forum. I currently cant do anything about it as I do not have full administrative privileges. I am pushing for this one to get resolved though.

Are there any other changes that you would like to see? and I can make a note an implement them when we make the changes.

@ajb2k3 I have updated with the very latest version of the burner which fixes some bugs. Please let me know if it works for you or not.

I'm not sure I quite understand your question. Do you want to log the output of a variable to a text file on the SD?

Yes and now its possible to program some basic functionality of the stick in Uiflow, make sure to download the stick specific version of firmware 1.0.1 if you want to try
