4. M5Paper Canvas not working in Arduino IDE

M5Paper Canvas not working in Arduino IDE

  • P

    Yesterday I received the M5Paper.
    Nice device, with a handy size.
    The tests on the M5Paper thought it right. But some examples in the Arduino IDE turn out not to work. After execution and loading, the screen remains blank.
    I hope these Arduino written programs have been tested before they are published!

    Even a simple program turns out not to work, which I have included.

    #include <M5EPD.h>
#include "binaryttf.h"

M5EPD_Canvas canvas(&M5.EPD);

void setup()
{
    M5.begin();
    M5.EPD.SetRotation(0);
    M5.TP.SetRotation(0);
    M5.EPD.Clear(true);
    
    canvas.loadFont(binaryttf, sizeof(binaryttf));
    canvas.createCanvas(540, 960);
    canvas.setTextSize(48);
    canvas.drawString("4567", 0 , 0);
    canvas.pushCanvas(0, 0, UPDATE_MODE_GC16);   
}

void loop() {
  // put your main code here, to run repeatedly:
}

    I hope someone can help me with this so that it won't be a bit of a mess.

    With best regards,

    @powersoft have you tried any of the built in examples in the M5Paper library?
