Given that I can now see the console, I determined that it throws OSError if the http GET fails. Which is a weird error to throw, but OK. So I put that in my except: clause, and it's humming away!

The serial console access is known as REPL.
If you didn't know about REPL then it is no wonder that you are surprised.

Thank you! I switched back to the i2c_bus module and the code you provided and it worked. No more errors.

All that was missing was converting the struct to a short:

def get_moisture(): i2c = i2c_bus.easyI2C(i2c_bus.PORTA, 0x36) i2c.write_u8(0x0f, 0x10) wait_ms(5) val = i2c.read(2) val = ustruct.unpack(">H", val)[0] return val

I think that I'm running into something similar: When RUN from visual studio, it works great, but when I disconnect it and start standalone, it hangs shortly after connecting to WiFi. It seems that I can do one more print, and that's it.

I will finally note that lcd.print works fine with lcd.orient(lcd.LANDSCAPE)
and lcd.orient(lcd.LANDSCAPE_FLIP)

@tialm The problem is that the firmware is constantly changing as they work to ix bugs in the firmware. They are working to get it up to the same level as mainstream Micropython but its slow going.
I'm currently digging through demo and examples (that I'm creating) to find the API's but its slow going due to the rapidly changing firmware.

maybe your compiler has some error(I only used arduino and uiflow,you can try with it)🤔

@zhufu86 Hey, I came along to look for python support for the sh200q. Seems that you use it in python with the hardware module.
May sound stupid but I'm unsure where to find the module... (Very new to m5Stick / m5Stack) I am using the m5Stick.

Best regards,
klaas

Sorry! @ajb2k3 I have not forgot about this, I am a bit withou time, a lot to do for work right now!
But I'll sketch up an example soon!
Thank you for the help

@foxhound What about adding some hints if it fails return_code for example. I'm asking because the connection seems not to be stable...

@heybin I also found "non zero" values for acceleration and gyro. Is there a special calibration method?
Thanks....

@lukasmaximus RTC functionality is weak, ntp_syc does not work. Any M5 example?
many thanks

I found that, in sources
https://github.com/m5stack/M5Stack_MicroPython/blob/master/MicroPython_BUILD/components/micropython/esp32/modules/m5flow/units.py

There is ENV sensor object. But it does not work, because there is no dht12 and bmp280 modules.
I am not sure if developers test their devices on micropython.
May be, it will be better to use base micropython and add m5 drivers?

This library worked for me

Hi @Luca-Innocenti I presume you mean twitter? I haven't heard of tweepy but I think a good way to do this would be to use the MQTT blocks if you are using UIFlow and then connect to a service like IFTT or Thingspeak with webhooks to connect to twitter. To add new libraries to the m5stack you can use Ampy or the M5stack plugin for VScode. See one of the two following videos for how to get setup.

I placed my stuff into the /apps folder, e.g. /apps/demo.py. On startup you can then press the button in the middle to enter the app list, choose your app demo and from there on it will be started automatically when you reboot.
