I tried to get my core2 working with uiflow 2 but also could not make much progress. I went back to latest uiflow 1.0 with no problems.

When I use the DMX_Base with the Core2 v1.12.1 and UIFlow 1.0 Latest (web interface), the output is not stable. I am using a tried-and-true Goddard Design Lil'DMXter to read the DMX512 data from the DMX_Base. It is able to accept the signal and can intermittently pick up the correct values. Some channels work better than others. For example, channel 4 seems to update steadily while channels 1 through 3 will rarely have the correct value. I have tested this only with the 3-pin XLR board. I have tested the following switch configurations

S1 right, S2 right, S3 off
S1 right, S2, right, S3 on
S1 left, S2 left, S3 on

I have not tried Arduino yet but the website says "no official M5Stack library for the DMX512 module" so I am not sure that it would be a good idea to use Arduino instead of UIFlow. I suspect a software issue with the RS485 timing. Is this a known issue?

Thank you,

What device are you using?
Core2

What firmware are you using?
v1.12.1

how did you burn the firmware into the device?
M5Burner-v3-beta-win-x64

Version of UIFlow you are using
UIFlow 1.0 Latest (web interface)

Steps to re-production of the issue
Use DMX deinit as shown in m5stack official sample
https://flow.m5stack.com/?examples=module_dmx_demo

The module is missing the following command

dmx.delete_post

Attempting to call dmx.dmx_init without prior deinit will cause the system to crash

Please let me know when this is fixed.

Thank you,

I spent about and hour trying things and the best solution I could find was to manually copy the desired csv file to the build folder and then rebuild. I also had to turn off compiler warnings because it would treat them as errors.

Here are the details. The csv files are located in AppData/Local/Arduino15/packages/m5stack/hardware/esp32/2.0.5+1.0/tools/partitions. I used minimal.csv, copies it to the build folder, and renamed it to partitions.csv. That fixed it!

I hope this helps!
