Beta version (v2.0.0 for Mac) looks nice. Thanks @m5stack.

@derbydeserter said in Adding an app to my App List on v1.5.2 M5Stack Fire:

...can download and run it on the M5Stack Fire

Are you sure you used the Download button within uiFlow and not the Play/Run button?

There is a 1-second timeout after boot up that allows the user to press the App, " : ", and Setup buttons. When you use the Download feature within uiFlow, it will download your app to your device, and then it should show up in the App list. Be sure to rename your Project name from "main" in the upper left of uiFlow so you can distinguish it from other apps. If not, it will overwrite main.py each time.

For deleting apps within the Apps menu, in v1.4.5.x you would hold the ▼/DEL button to delete them. However, I think there is a bug in v1.5.x and there is not an option to delete. You will need to delete them manually from the /flash/apps directory by using ampy, Thonny, etc.

Yeah, I noticed that yesterday as well. I have gotten into the habit of double checking all the settings before burning (com port, baud, series, SSID, etc.)

I have these archived files on my Mac if you want to try them:
SiLabsUSBDriverDisk.dmg dated Jan 6, 2018

If you want to try the files, Direct Message your email and I'll email it to you.

I'm on Catalina 10.15.4 and have no issues burning any of my M5stack products (grey core, fire core, m5stick, m5stickC, atom matrix). I always use the official Apple USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter on my 2015 MacBook Pro and a USB-A to USB-C cable (sometimes reversing the USB-C side orientation (i.e. "flip it over") if the driver doesn't seem to detect the device).

It may be due to the fact that I installed the Silicon Labs drivers many years ago when I first started the M5stack journey. However, along the way, there have been issues with OSX that have required me to fix/patch things.... most recently with the m5stickC/m5atom driver patch (Solution2 from this thread).

After unzipping, drag it into the Applications folder in Finder

@jhfoo said in How to acquire and upload demo app?:

What do you use to transfer files both ways?

I use Adafruit ampy because it supports get and put to transfer files both ways. You could also try the Thonny IDE that @lukasmaximus mentioned in the other thread. I haven’t tried that yet.

I did try Mu IDE today with an m5stickC running the mainline MicroPython v1.12 firmware, but I wasn’t successful getting the REPL to work. It didn’t seem to detect the serial port connection to the m5stickC. However, Mu REPL did work for me with an M5Stack core running uiFlow v1.5.0 though.

@jhfoo

I'm on a Mac and I use the OSX Terminal and the screen utility to access the REPL. On Windows, you might need to use Putty or something similar. With the uiFlow firmware burned to your m5stickC you can access the REPL.

screen /dev/tty.usbserial-514A6FFF41 115200

Once I'm in the screen session, I press Ctrl+C a few times to get to the REPL prompt. In the output below, I'm pressing Ctrl+C after it says "start m5ucloud monitor":

MPY: soft reboot

In the above example, I open the main.py file (which is the 'test' app I think you are referring to) and read it to the REPL output. You can use other text editors to create your MicroPython programs and upload them to the m5stickC using ampy or another utility. Just save the file as main.py, upload it to the m5stickC and it will run after boot.py.

Here is a good resource to look through.

@jhfoo said in MicroPython Firmware with M5Stack libraries:

@world101 is there one for M5StickC? The sample codes are for the larger model.

Not to my knowledge. You would need to flash the m5stickC with the standard MicroPython firmware (see this link) then manually import whatever m5stickC libs you want to use from here.

@jhfoo
On the m5stickC, hold down the A button immediately after boot/power-on to access the menu. Then you use the B and A buttons to navigate and select.

@lederschnautz

Great. Glad I could help.
