    • RE: UIFLOW variable declaration issues - need help

      I am still getting a "can't convert float to int" error whenever I use a variable in the by argument in the count with i from to block. If I use an integer block in by it works fine. If I set a variable to the same integer it gives me an error and if I convert to int or convert to float I get the same error. If I click on details it reads: File<'string'> line57 in <module> TypeError: can't convert float to int. This is a bummer since I need to use a variable in the by argument of the block. Any help would be appreciated

    • RE: Core 2 bar widget

      @Zontex
      Thanks @felmue that helps and thanks for sharing that image. I misunderstood the bar widget. I thought I could interact with it in a similar way as you interact with a slider and didn’t realize it was only meant as an visual indicator. I like the minimal look of the bar but I still want the functionality of the slider. It would be great to be able to define the touch dot on the slider either by setting visibility, setting color, and or setting size.

    • Core 2 bar widget

      The bar widget only renders as a solid color and I can’t manage to get it to output any value change on touch event. Also is it possible to offer control over the center of the slider widget. If the function to change the slider dot color already exists can you please tell me how to do that.

    • Core 2 speaker blocks

      Is it possible to add the speaker.tone() and speaker.sing() blocks to the core2 speaker block functions. Also it would be great to see some midi blocks especially since you added ble. Perhaps you can offer midi over serial and also using midi device ble profile. By the way, it’s really cool to see the ble blocks added. Last thing, you have some nice helpers when writing micro python such as select all, copy, paste, find and replace, and pallete which are all accessed at the icon shown at the end of each line. These are great when working on a tablet but it would be good if you broke out select all into two functions. If you click on select it would select only one line and if you click on all it would select all. I haven’t figured out what the pallete does. Can you please tell me how the pallete helper is used.

    • bluetooth in core2

      I've installed core2 beta4. I see ble is listed when I run help('modules'). I notice that I can import ble without an error, however when I run the code that uses ble it reports an error that bluetooth module is not available. It looks like there is plenty of memory available for the module. I am requesting that bluetooth is enabled for core2 uiflow firmware. If there is a way to add the module to the current uiflow firmware I'd welcome the info.

    • RE: Core2

      I just got mine today and I am so impressed. It just feels, sounds, and responds in such a great way. This is such an impressive device on many levels. At first I wasn't sure if I needed one since I have a few m5Stacks but I am so glad I purchased one. I have a few questions:

      1. since the core2 has enough memory can you enable bluetooth in the uiflow firmware and please add the blocks. I know they are only available for fire but I am assuming they should work with core2.
      2. if I wanted to use the core2 in a classroom do you offer any kits for these purposes. I have purchased microbit class packs. I guess I am asking you about availability, for example I know the c plus was unavailable for a time, and I want to make sure things are readily available. It would be great if you have any suggestions on how best to deal with purchasing m5stack for the classroom in order to make sure the students can easily get your product. I know in the states adafruit and digikey are resellers and I might have seen them at microcenter too but to be honest it's easiest and fastest to just send the students to amazon but amazon doesn't offer enough of the m5stack product range. I encourage you to offer a much wider range of your products on amazon, especially including the core2.

    • RE: UIFlow Core2 Alpha

      What a great device. I was just wondering what happened to the variety of default fonts. I liked that UIflow had a few default font styles available but those are not available in this release. I know fonts can be added but it would be good to a few readily available in UIflow.

    • RE: UIFlow 1.5.2

      @m5stack
      Very cool. Thanks and it's really great to see bluetooth in micropython and uiflow. At one time you mentioned the micropython firmwares would be open source and made available on github, I know you have a uiflow micropython repo https://github.com/m5stack/UIFlow-Code but it doesn't always get updated with new releases, it would be great to see the repo get updated and have branches for each major release. I think so much great development can happen if the code is made available.

    • RE: UIFlow 1.5.2

      @robalstona @m5stack Thanks for that suggestion. I'll try the blocks you developed out on StickC. The new ble blynk blocks work it"s just they require a little tinkering with the micropython code to get them connected. At least that is my experience of using them. I am still very happy to see them included in the latest beta version of uiflow. Also I look forward to seeing a screen_shot showing all the blocks operating together in a single setup because I might be setting them up in a way that introduces the minor issues I've come across.
