Hello I want to use external libraries ... for setting up a websocket connection...

I have UIflow installed ... and dont know how to import external libraries for the m5stack ... i need a tutorial or smth

I have a m5stack core and m5stack atom

I want them to listen &recieve messages from eventghost (which is a automation tool for windows running on python)

What ways are there for the m5 devies to recieve local network messages..

Any advice ... would be appricated. Since I have no idea what libraries are out there for micropython or arduino that would fit ?

@ajb2k3 I solved the not saving issue by googling and finding out about the execute block.

https://forum.m5stack.com/topic/1702/uiflow-does-not-save-python-code/4

That solves the saving custom code issue.. so thats cool.
Im not a total beginner so naturally I wrote some custom code... and didnt follow any guides or handbooks much.... basicly came in winging it

anyway this is good enough for starters.
Also having a user interface is really nice.

Thanks for the help

ps the handbook is also out o date and doesnt mention that you have to switch from app mode to usb or internet mode. during the intial setup and pairing for uiflow (the interface on the device is totally different on the latest version)

Hope you can use this feedback ;)

Okay thx ... I started with uiflow since I know some python ... and got my script running...

Though it feels kinda buggy atm .. since you cant seem to save custom code (you cant mix custom code and blocks...) ... but you can still run it ... and send it to the device .... so I had to save my code in a seperate text file ....

idk whats going on there .... maybe this is still really in beta stage ?...

Also I couldnt seem to find how to set fontssize in micropython ... onyl some preset sizes ?

To me feels like there are some major disadvantages ... but I guess it was good for getting started ....

also the initial documentaion for uiflow is outdated ().

There was no mention that I had to switch back and forth from usb mode to internet mode and app mode.....

I have no prior knowledge of
Programming with the m5stack or other microcontrollers.

The first thing I want to do code up is :

1. Doing a http request
2. serialize JSON
   2.1 loop through list
3. output list on screen

Any guidence on how I should aproach this ?
Im start at 0 .. so I dont know what libraries to use ... where to look etc...

For the stuff I mentioned I think its better to start with learning som C programming instead of looking at UI flow ?

Also if I burn uiflow to the device .. can I still upload code and run it via the arduino ide ?

Thanks

@ajb2k3 said in Connecting Epaper display to m5stack core or other models ? (Waveshare):

ahh, its an spi device so will have issue with the internal spi screen.

There is an Epaper M5stack device in development but you would be better off with this device

if there is one in development I will wait ;D

Im total beginner at this , did a quick googling ... the l2c is the grove in this picture

when you talk about the internal bus connector ... then I would need to open the backplate ?

this is a example model of the epaper

Im assuming I have to use the internal connector ? judging from the epaper module picture ?
there is also a module for this : m5-bus module

which i can use instead of having the back open ? is this correct ?

Can you add a another screen to any of the m5stack models ?
I was wondering if I could use m5stack models to attach a epaper displays from waveshare

Im just about to start fiddling (ordered a m5stack core) ...

And if so are there any guides on what pins to use etc etc...
