This was caused by a missing double quotation mark in a file name in an "Execute code" block.....

I am trying to get the program to ignore failure to connect to WiFi. I tried to place a Wifi Connect block inside a try/except (with a bogus SSID/password):

Instead, the program hangs, before the LED comes on, because the python that gets generated places the wifiCfg.doConnect up at the top of the program (line 20):

and the try/except block is empty, much later in the program at line 87:

Is there a way to create an exception for WiFi failure to connect?

I also notice that UIFlow does not have a "pass" block. I just put a wait() in mine - ???

@wsanders SOLUTION: Use "Original Network Function" blocks instead.

Using //https://101010.fun/iot/m5stickc-plus-firststep.html
for inspiration, we can upload this program:

#include <M5StickCPlus.h>

void setup() {
M5.begin();
M5.Lcd.setTextSize(3);
M5.Lcd.setRotation(3);
M5.Lcd.setTextColor(TFT_ORANGE);
}

void loop() {
M5.update();
soundTest();
}

void soundTest() {
for (int tone=100; tone < 4000; tone=tone+50) {
M5.Lcd.fillScreen(BLACK);
M5.Lcd.setCursor(80, 50);
M5.Lcd.printf("%d", tone);
M5.Beep.tone(tone);
M5.Beep.update();
delay(200);
}
}

According to my ears there is a definite peak about 2500 Hz, with frequencies under 250 Hz and over 3000 not audible. Your ears may vary .....

You want UNbuckled "Grove" connectors to fit all M5Stack devices. For example, the M5StickC-Plus will accept both unbuckled and bucked connectors, but the Core2 will only accept an unbuckled connector. If you have the buckled type, you can always cut the clip off so it will fit.

Generically, these connectors are called "HY2.0-4P" although nearly all vendors sell them as "Grove".

There's no standard for the Vcc and logic levels! So make sure your devices match. M5Stack devices supply 5V on the red conductor, but the logic levels are 3.3V.
