Strange, which version of the firmware are you using, could you post the log from flash.sh process or the command you used, maybe the files are not getting written to the correct memory addresses, usually it should look like this

"--chip esp32 --port %port --baud %baud write_flash -z 0x1000 %PATH\bootloader.bin 0xf000 %PATH\phy_init_data.bin 0x10000 %PATH\MicroPython.bin 0x8000 %PATH\partitions_mpy.bin",
"--chip esp32 --port %port --baud %baud --before default_reset --after no_reset write_flash -z --flash_freq 40m 0x170000 %PATH\spiffs_image_0x170000.img"

which micropython version are you using? if you did a custom flash not from the official m5stack burner you may have forgotten to flash the .spiffs file which contains all the folders and files you want to put on the filesystem

I think he means keep up the good work, keep it going. In Chinese they say 加油 jiayou which literally means add oil

you could use krita or piskell they both can convert images to c file @ojdas

The pinouts of the m5stack are similar to most esp32 dev boards, perhaps this tutorial will help https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a7DrFqqu-78&feature=youtu.be

Usually the firmwares require a few files to burn successfully, it's not enough just to flash the micropython.bin file, you also need to flash bootloader.bin, a spiffs.img file and a partitions_mpy.bin as @ajb2k3 mentioned please try to use the official flashing tools or make sure you write those other files to the correct memory addresses using esptool

I also had this error happen to me in the last few days, no matter where you click in the units the tick will not appear and also no blocks will appear in units. Please look into it @watson

By the way I was using chrome version Version 73.0.3683.103 what about you ? @wegunterjr

Is there a good tool in GIMP for compressing image files? @ajb2k3 I tried without success in photoshop before, perhaps its there but I don't know. It would be better however to have an open source solution such as gimp

working fine for me. are sure you did all the steps, manager > upload less than 25 kb image > drag an image placeholder on UI area, select it and choose your uploaded image from the dropdown list? I have occasionally had weird results from certain files. Have you tried other files beside the one your trying to display?
