@watson Tanks!
Sorry for the slow response,
I will have a look into InfinateYuan1 Repos.
It seems like in one of them he is using lvgl.
Have you seen this post from a few weeks ago:
https://blog.littlevgl.com/2019-02-20/micropython-bindings
Do you think it's possible to add LittlevGL Micropython Binding to your next firmware build?
It shouldn't be too hard according to this part of the article:
https://blog.littlevgl.com/2019-02-20/micropython-bindings#how-can-i-use-it
Thanks!
Have you tried:
lcd.compileFont(file_name [,debug])
https://github.com/m5stack/M5Cloud#lcdcompilefontfile_name-debug
Is there a way to change the text size via microPython? or all the embedded fonts are fixed size without the option to make them smaller or bigger?
I could not find any reference in the M5Cloud API:
https://github.com/m5stack/M5Cloud#lcd
@rop cool thanks!
Do you the python version of that line?
Thanks!
I'm unable to turn off the m5stack when a USB cable is connected.
I want to reduce the charging time so it would be great to be able to keep the device off when connected to a charger. Is there no such option?
@cpyarger it basically runs microPython so you can import any module supported by micro python.
For example to connect to a wifi hotspot you can import the "network" module:
https://docs.micropython.org/en/latest/esp8266/quickref.html#networking
To upload custom files/modules you can use "adafruit ampy" or any of the other tools described in this tutorial: https://learn.adafruit.com/micropython-basics-load-files-and-run-code/overview
just make sure you upload them to the /flash/ folder.
Another useful thing is the REPL which allows you to see the MicroPython Log, very useful to debug your code and see what's happening in the background as not everything can be seen in the LCD:
https://docs.micropython.org/en/latest/wipy/tutorial/repl.html
The ESP32 also supports the WebREPL:
https://micropython.org/webrepl/
Have you seen this repo:
https://github.com/m5stack/M5Stack-nesemu
Not sure that's exactly what you are looking for but it's a start :)
@rop Web-IDE sounds cool, have you seen the M5Flow IDE?
It seems to be python based, and the firmware comes with a module called m5ui which has some basic UI elements you can work with, and it also has a WYSIWYG editor.
Was trying to find the m5ui module on github but had no luck.
Hey All, I'm working on a python project with no internet access, therefore I'm unable to use M5Flow or M5Cloud.
What would be the best tool/module/library to use to Create a UI on the M5Stack using Python?
I flashed the M5Cloud firmware, and using "adafruit ampy" to upload my code.
But I'm unable to import the m5ui module or find where to download it from.
It seems M5ez is only available for Arduino at the moment.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
This is Awesome! Great work!
I'm wondering if there something similar for MicroPython?
Or are there any plans creating a python version for M5ez?
Would be amazing!
