ReInstall Original Screen on new Core2

dahult

I just received a Core2. Plugging it in a very cool screen came up with lots of interesting stuff, especially the FFT sound display. I went to M5Burner to make sure it was loaded with the most recent software and after loading it with UIFlow 1.10.3 it shows a simple screen with 3 buttons. Is there any way to reload that original screen? And more interesting, what language was it written in and is it possible to get source?

Hello @dahult

check out M5Burner linked here. It allows to reinstall most of the original firmware.

Regarding source code: if it is available you'll find it most likely here. (I don't see it though.)

Thanks

Hi! When I got my Core2 there was an amazing Factory Test Demo program that showed all of the capabilities of the new "Core2".
After much digging I found the source code again here:
https://github.com/m5stack/M5-ProductExampleCodes/tree/master/Core/M5Core2/Arduino
The source code is C++ and will compile in Arduino IDE.
But...it is not written in hobbyist style Arduino code with
void setup()
void loop()

Therefore I found it very difficult to "follow" (inscrutable) and found it of little use to me for further Arduino programs.
Brilliant and fun to watch Demo, though!
Hope this helps: Terry

@teastain Thanks, that was what I was looking for. I got it to compile/load after installing the M5Core2 by M5Stack library. I agree with 'Brilliant and un to watch'.
