    • RE: Product failed. Burning, Downloading, finding where to get API get.

      @ajb2k3 I searched for ""Cold Boot Method" and only found 4 references, the oldest 8 months ago, none were helpful.

      I took a guess and cold started my computer, removed the old driver, deleting the driver and then installing the driver installed by UIFlow, CP210xVCPInstaller_x64_v6.7.0.0. That did not fix the problem.

      I searched the forum a bit and I think I found your method here; https://community.m5stack.com/topic/2303/solved-arduino-ide-on-windows-won-t-flash

      I will try it tomorrow when I am more awake.

      Thank you for the link to your WIP book,, I am glad to see you have a section on ESP NOW. Do you cover Deep Sleep and power saving modes (and ULP) ?

      Regards.

      Putty doesnt do any good. I did find, by accident, that if i went into monitor, and pressed Reset instead of Send, it would print out this ;

      I'm not sure what to Send, in monitor or Putty. This doesn't show up in Putty, as text or as garbage. There is no SD card inserted and it is at the red "SDCard Find failed" prompt on the Core2.

      This is after I shutdown the PC, removed and deleted the driver and installed CP210xVCPInstaller_x64_v6.7.0.0, the same driver installed bu UIflow. M5Burner will still not work. I have not followed the Cold Start Method yet. That will be tomorrow.

      Regards.

    • Product failed. Burning, Downloading, finding where to get API get.

      I had bought the M5Stack Core2 on a whim from Amazon and found out too late it would not work to send it back.

      At first, when running UIFlow, I was prompted for an API key. For some reason that stopped. I was never able to find where to get one, but one of the introductory videos hinted at running M5Burner which I did.

      I can never get this program to succeed in Erasing or Burning firmware from the Core2. I have the CP210x driver installed from working with Arduino Minis or Micros (or something), but I installed the provided driver just to make sure I was using a current version. In Device Manager the message I see is "Silicon Labs CP210x USB to UART Bridge (COM8)".

      When doing an erase i see

      =================
      Erase now

      =================
       Burn Failed 
      =================
      

      In both cases the Core2 or M5PAPER reboots once the error is complete.

      I am a VA with memory damage and had forgotten that I had purchased a M5Core2 and not been able to get it to work after the Amazon return period had passed, I just recently purchased the M5PAPER, a M5 CORE INK and an M5 STICK C PLUS.

      I tried downloading to the M5 STICK C PLUS and it worked fine, giving me the API key, then i downloaded one of the demos and it worked fine.

      The M5 CORE INK failed in the same manner as the other two.

      So, any ideas ? Which straw do I grasp at first ?

      Regards, mark.
