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);

Hello @Steve1 looks like that issue isn't new. See here. Maybe try to contact the owner of the code? Thanks Felix

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. Thanks Felix

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. https://qiita.com/takeru@github/items/4f408e9edaf915f168d2

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 Felix
