4. M5paper no longer works with Arduino from new installs

M5paper no longer works with Arduino from new installs

    Hi

    Why is it so complicated to set up the development environement for the m5paper?

    The only reliable environment is the UIflow, which works consistently. but seems a bit limited.

    The other other environments I've tried are Arduino - painfully slow (even with output disabled), and after compiling it doesnt reset the m5paper to run the code. I assume a later library or something has broken it?

    ditto for VScode and Moddable

    The "Hard resetting via RTS" doesn't reset it.
    Python 3.11 seems to have broken it

    Maybe I'm being a bit impatient, but I dont want to have weeks configuring/fixing broken development environment(s), I want to learn how code for the m5paper.

    => Which is stable and doesn't take ages to compile programs, and is compatible with m5paper?

    Maybe my expectations were a bit high, but it does seem to be new user hostile!
    Maybe I should stick with the UIflow.

    Ta

    I am with you.
    I try to get something usefull out my m5coreInk but there is no help/support/documentation out there at all.

  • I tried to teach a YouTuber Arduino core the AtomS3 and I hate Arduino it is a monster pain to use and so many libraries have to be installed just to do anything.

    Also Ink/papers are complicated because they work fundamentally differently to tft/LCD OLED displays.

    @ajb2k3 thanx for your afford, but that makes no sense. functionality will be same and just needs to be adjusted to the display. we all know that e-ink is different than lcd, so its no help pointing that out.
