@pandian-nano yes you’re right, thanks for the clarification!

@erich could you share some of your IR code? I would like to send the IR commands so
my disabled brother-in-law can get the weather channel on TV.

I've been coding to the ESP32 devices and have an extensive capability for MQTT messaging, support of numerous HAT's, the ATOM Socket, driving stepper motor, OTA updates and BLE.

But I've never done any of the IR work. It seems if I can get the right codes it would be easy
to send a message (via MQTT) to trigger doing just that (even from a motion sensor or QR code).

I assume I need to receive the IR first, and then play them back.
Any help would be appreciated.

thanks,
scott

Just answering to myself :)

I spent the whole day digging into LVGL lib on the Core2.
I must say there's a huge learning curve for me (I'm just a hobbyist with just average knowledge).

I initially thought it would be very easy to use but this is definitely not the case (again, for me).
However I am happy because I guess I have understood the basic concepts and I was finally able to diplay objects like buttons or sliders on the screen and interact with the touch display.

This library is incredibly powerful. The fact that I am playing with others devices than M5Stack stuff motivates me to keep on investigating as I will be able to use it on almost any other screen devices.

Would be great to use this post if you want to share your experience with LVGL and the Core2.

@erich said in Fail to burn:

@ajb2k3 Honnestly I litteraly spent days trying to solve it... esp forums / github, MStack support, etc....
I don't think the problem is coming from the chip, from the hours I spent reading forums and github threads it looks more like a bad implementation of python / esptool / pyserial in big sur.

And yes you're right: i want to be fair here, I downgraded mainly because of this issue with my core2 but also because I had continous crashes with Safari and the system was sometimes slowing down without any reason.
First time I have to downgrade an operating system...Big Sur is definitely a Big Sxxt :)

I'm so distrustful of updates that I'm still on mojave!

@ajb2k3 thanks for your answer but as you can see just above I already got the answer from another post on the forum.
In fact this is not that simple.
Yes you can flash the device with the binaries found on the MicroPython website but then you only get the basic lib to get access to the ESP32.
If you want to take advantage of all 'surrounding' features like touch screen, accelerometer etc...then, unlike with UIFlow where the libs do encapsulate all those surrounding features, you have to dig yourself and find the correct libs as M5Stack is not providing one.
