    • RE: ERROR Invalid syntax (UIFlow 1.6.2) when trying to upload

      @m5stack

      FW1.6.4 and editor 1.0.12 totally broke my program, still can't upload but then again, why would I need to, it doesn't even run anymore, the python code gets screwed up.

      I don't get to make an app anymore, all I do is running into stuff that doesn't work. It seems to me M5stack is suffering from what I call the "Yamaha disease" : keep spitting out new hardware without fixing the mediocre stuff they released before.
      Well I for one am not jumping on that train anymore , I refrain from buying any more new stuff a la core2 and whatnot before the existing stuff gets fixed. (which I expect now, will never happen)

    • RE: Receiving data with ESP Now in UIFlow

      Hi, you should't use the variables "addr" and "data" as shown in the snippets
      I think it should work like this:0_1599424919910_058d9528-c151-4ed4-83ef-9a3481853dfc-image.png

    • Connect max7219 to M5stack, can it be done ?

      Hi, surely everybody knows the MAX7219, but can I connect it to my m5stack core ? It uses SPI and I've been looking around, there are some libs on github and some posts here about SPI but I can't get it to work.

      If it's possible at all, could someone point me in the right direction ?

      This maybe could point you in the right direction (subject to improvement ofc.):

    • RE: Avoid M5Stack - it is a waste of time

      A fairly new user of m5stack here (and only talking UIFlow),

      1. There is documentation, but often incomplete and unclear, hence not at all new user friendly (e.g. try finding explanation of the math blocks)
      2. I experienced this (1.6.1) but luckily it got fixed rather quickly in 1.6.2
      3. That is being investigated/fixed right now
      4. I managed to crack a screen on a stickC, my own fault, but it is very flimsy.

      My conclusion: I still have confidence in M5Stack, I think they are very willing to help and fix any problems. But the documentation really needs to be improved.

    • RE: ERROR Invalid syntax (UIFlow 1.6.2) when trying to upload

      So I managed to get UIFlow running on a linux machine (a struggle in itself, I dare say) and... same result, it hangs while uploading via USB. It doesn't give me the syntax error, but it's stuck with the "Uploading..." indicator diplayed on the device.

    • RE: ERROR Invalid syntax (UIFlow 1.6.2) when trying to upload

      Wel this problem still persists, I guess I was secretly hoping for someone from m5stack to shed a light on this matter. ;-)
      Is there maybe someone who could try to reproduce this error with the desktop version of UIFlow ?

    • RE: ERROR Invalid syntax (UIFlow 1.6.2) when trying to upload

      @world101
      Hi, thanks for having a go at it.

      As I mentioned before, with the desktop version the python file gets uploaded, but then I get the syntax error (when it should auto-start after the upload). After a manual reset and switch to app mode, the python file is on the device, I can select and run it on the core, it runs fine. I can run the py from and upload it via Thonny too without any problem. I've tried it on 2 devices, a black and a grey, I've tried different cables all with the same result.

      With other projects the upload to the device also works fine. Is it because there something wrong with my .m5f ? Is it because its a little bigger, who can tell ? I really would like to have this issue solved before I officially share this project so people -especially new to m5stack- can atleast get it up and running without hassle.

      @vkichline
      Thank you, I'm glad you like it.

      Once the upload issue is fixed, I'll share the m5f file, anybody then can easily change the color to their liking or infact modify it entirely if desired, there's most likely things in there that could have been done in a better way. (Feel free to point them out, I'm still learning)

      @world101

      Hi, I left it "uploading" for about 15mins, long enough to conclude it hangs I suppose.

      You can find the m5f file here
      (Bear in mind, I'm no coder, just a hobbyist)

      Hi and thanks,

      Indeed I use (and prefer to use) the desktop version, but I gave it a go with the online version. A similar thing occurs, I can run it, but now it hangs when trying to upload to the device, showing the "Uploading..." indicator on the core screen...

    • ERROR Invalid syntax (UIFlow 1.6.2) when trying to upload

      When I try to upload my project i get this error:
      X ERROR Invalid syntax
      Detail: File '<string>', line1 Syntaxerror: invalid syntax (quite explanatory, isn't it :)

      My project runs fine from UIFlow and It does upload the python file, I can select and run it from the core

      I've been searching around here but only found this post but it did not provide a solution.

      Could this be a bug or is my project messed up or something else ?

      UIFLow version 1.0.11 FW1.6.2 on win10 64

    • A simple calendar for cores

      Hi all, I've made a simple calendar for my core(s)
      0_1597565530027_Cal_run.JPG

      Features:
      -Built in UIFlow (Beta1.6.2 / v1.0.11 and Firmware 1.6.2), no custom blocks, however some execute blocks
      -Year, month, day, time display
      -Keeps time as long as powered ;-)
      -Browse through months / return to today (home)
      -Date/time setting via NTP or manually

      Issues:
      -Switching to manual setting when NTP fails doesn't work properly (yet)
      -I get an error when uploading to the device (it does upload the python file though)

      I will share the code when the latter is resolved, will post it in in bugs

      Possible future upgrades I currently have in mind:
      -Marking of special days (birthdays, appointments.... saved on SD)
      -Alarms (but the buzzer seems rather crackly here)
      -Selection of wifi network for ntp
      -...

      @m5stack

      I have a similar question,

      Is it ok (safe) to put a plus module between a grey and a faces(I) bottom ?

    • RE: ESP NOW send not working in 1.6.1

      @m5stack
      And thank you for looking into this and the quick workaround
      (It also seems to work when I put that line in an "Execute" block)

      However...
      While you are fixing this, you might also have to take a look at the "After send message" block, now that I've got the send working again, it looks to me this block does not return a value.(it did in 1.4.5) I can again provide an m5f file if you'd need it.

      Hi, this program works perfectly in 1.4.5, here's what gives in 1.6.1:
      If I take out the "send" block, it works, it receives msgs

    • ESP NOW send not working in 1.6.1

      Not sure if this belongs here (only bug related area i can find)

      ESP NOWis not working properly in firmware 1.6.1
      I tested this on m5stickC and core basic, it only works on firmware 1.4.5, not on later versions
      in fact its the sending that gives an "interface error", receiving seems to work fine

      (I'm using UIFlow btw)
