PaperS3 screen stuck
-
I used the M5 burner to burn the UIFlow2.0 PaperS3, but now when I try to turn it off, nothing happens. Do you have any clues, please?

@claudiu
It seems that the ink screen is like this? -
like @kuriko already mentioned, that is the nature of an eInk screen - it retains the last picture, even w/o power.
That said, I created a example in the UIFlow2 Project Zone called: M5PaperS3_LED_PowerOff_UIFlow2.2.0 which turns on the green LED on the backside, waits 5 seconds and then powers off. (And as an indicator the green LED also turns off.)
Thanks

@felmue I was a bit confused. Before, I was able to press the Wi-Fi scan button and get info on the available Wi-Fi networks; now, nothing happens, and even when I press the shut-down button, nothing happens. But I did put back the factory test, and now it is behaving like before.
I need to read the documentation and start using it properly :-), any tips are highly appreciated. -
Hello @claudiu
eInk devices are a bit tricky as the screen keeps showing the last image even without power which makes it difficult to know if the device (e.g. MCU etc.) is actually running or not.
As for tips: keep in mind that M5PaperS3 is a very young product and I found that not all functions are fully implemented yet. So if something doesn't work as expected this could be the reason.
Thanks

@felmue I noticed that even logging in UIFLow gives me an error on login, even if the credentials are ok. Still a lot to explore.
Thanks
