Hello @Steve1

I had success with the following converter settings.

0_1704017750382_IconConvert2_20231231.png

This creates a array size of 8192 - same as the stock icons and displays correctly using the DrawIcon() function from the Weather app.

// array size is 8192 static const uint16_t IconCloud64x64[] = { 0x0000, 0x0000, 0x0000, 0x0000, 0x0000,

Note: I had best results converting jpg using above converter. (png did not work for me and always created an all zero array.)

Thanks

Hello @Steve1

you are very welcome.

@steve1 yes the delay is normal as it takes time for the image request to be sent to the host and the host to send the image to the paper. This happens when requesting images from all devices in the M5 range

I am just starting out with the M5Paper and a lot of things are taking some getting use to. I thought about deleting this thread when I found out how easy the solution was but then I thought that maybe this will help someone else. So here is the solution:

You have to declare a font for use in the canvasOP. So adding his line after creating canvasOP fixes the problem:
canvasOP.setFreeFont(&FreeSerif24pt7b);

weather information from openweathermap https://openweathermap.org on the e-ink display of the M5Paper. Please edit the config.h file with your own data. You need an api key from openweathermap.
Config.h

#pragma once #define VERSION "Version 1.0" #define CITY_NAME "City" // change to your location #define LATITUDE 47.69732 #define LONGITUDE 8.63493 #define OPENWEATHER_SRV "api.openweathermap.org" #define OPENWEATHER_PORT 80 #define OPENWEATHER_API "your openweathermap api key" #define WIFI_SSID "your wifi ssid" #define WIFI_PW "your wifi password"

onecall is not free anymore with new accounts.

Hello @Steve1

well, there is an alternative method you could use. The power button also acts as regular button. So you could check if the power button was still pressed when M5Paper starts running. Something like this at the beginning of setup():

M5.begin(true, false, true, true, true); M5.RTC.begin(); M5.update(); bool pwrBtnStart = M5.BtnP.isPressed(); // true if started by PWR button

Note: for it to work you'll need to press and hold the power button long enough for the code to reach the statement checking the button. In my tests I need to hold the power button for about 5 seconds.

Note: a disadvantage of the power button check method is that when M5Paper is powered on by USB it thinks it was an RTC start.

Ah, thanks. Now I realise that I will develope the sketch further.

@steve1 The case is normally only held together with clips around the edge. If you use two thin plates, you can open the clips.

I have found out how to use the fonts within the M5GFX library;

#include <Arduino.h> #include <M5GFX.h> M5GFX display; void setup() { display.begin(); display.setTextDatum(middle_center); uint16_t x = display.width() / 2; uint16_t y = display.height() / 2; display.setFont(&fonts::FreeMonoBold24pt7b); display.drawString("Test", x, y); } void loop() { }

This looks like a running issues with google chrome as its happening (or not happening as is the case) with other sites that download files.

I have the exact problem: Chrome 107.0.5304.110 on Fedora 35. All buttons in the UI (label, button, line, etc) are nonfunctional as well as the "load", "save" etc buttons. UIFlow is completely unusable with Chrome. I can reproduce this in Konqueror also.

The buttons seem to work in Firefox though.

@steve1

Mine worked fine when I took it out of the case.

Hello @Steve1

sorry, at this point in time I am out of ideas. I don't have the IR remote sensor so I cannot test this myself. Hopefully somebody else can help you.

Thanks
