UiFlow 2.0 Alpha verison discuss(how-to, bug, feature request or sometings)



  • problem with some m5Burner version 3 on OSX:

    different versions where released on the website but they are all identified 3.0.0, which is confusing...

    • the one of April 9 2022, which doesn't work with atomS3
    • the one of January 13 2023 which works

    you should increased the last one to 3.0.1 to avoid any confusion for long time users

    Thanks

    Pascal



  • Hi,
    Could you unlock from UIFlow 2 the capability to code in micropython…
    Thanks



  • @flex What do you mean as you can work direct in micropython without UIFlow using REPL



  • @IAMLIUBO With the S3's having the internal USB adapter, the S3's can now act as USB drives.
    Can we get a UF2 boot loader so that Stamp and Atom S3's can now be programmed like Microbit and Circuitpython devices (USB storage devices.)



  • @ajb2k3
    UIFlow make it easier to upload and test code through the cloud and also to draft the screen UI on the atomS3



  • @flex
    And also rhrough the uIFlow cloud it is ok to develop through an ipad as it doesn’t offer USB-C to serial



  • @IAMLIUBO Error with the TOF Unit with Alpha7

    Connected to Serial Port!

  • @flex @IAMLIUBO @ajb2k3
    bug in "get UTC time" and "get system uptime in seconds" for AtomS3 and UIFlow2/micropython 1.19.1 is probably related to a confusion handling Unix time 1970 and Unix time 2000 (as 30 years difference returned)



  • @iamliubo can someone from M5Stack please check the AtomS3 GitHub “Issues”.
    I have one outstanding and another question to ask, but no one is there?



  • @flex Some people and groups cant use the cloud platform and so local programming like with the microbic and RPI is needed for them
