Looks like it's sorted now after the easter long weekend.

@marcelusvictor Did you put the Cardputer into Download Mode as described here? https://docs.m5stack.com/en/core/Cardputer
If Yes, check your device manager if the COM port appears without any error message. If it not apears then your USB cable may be broken or has power wires only (cross check with another one).

@felmue said in Cant compile M5ez.h:

Hello @EricR

without downgrading the Arduino ESP32 framework (e.g. using v2.0.3) I was able to compile M5ez with the following three modifications.

In M5ez.h disable WPS by replacing#define M5EZ_WPS with #define M5EZ_WPSx. In M5ez.cpp replace info.disconnected.reason with info.wifi_sta_disconnected.reason. In M5ez.cpp replace SYSTEM_EVENT_STA_DISCONNECTED with ARDUINO_EVENT_WIFI_STA_DISCONNECTED.

Thanks

Thanks! Just like Crazyhorse I came back to my M5 after about a year break. Your info saved a noob days of misery!!!

Hello @lasslop

GPIO21 (pin 21) is not a lucky choice. By default GPIO21 is used as SDA (I2C). Have you tried with a different GPIO?

Thanks

I'm still at a loss with m5ez. It is very frustrating to "have" such a great framework that I'm unable to leverage. Are there any examples of someone using m5ez in a project that "does something"?

An example of "does something" I mean like this ESP32 project I completed recently: https://www.facebook.com/144922416365/videos/743331992745660 it is a test bench I developed for ignition coils. The UI are the three buttons on the right and the display is simply a right side for status and left side for control.

This kind of UI is how most of my programs work... a continuous presentation of status or information and some instruction about control. As I rework a prior test bench into a new version controlled by ESP32, I'm driven to inaction because of how unfriendly m5ez is to utilize.

I'm going to be cheeky here and say if this is Arduino then look at the first line of your code.
Hint its whats not there that is the issue.

Hi Bob,

I don't check this forum that regularly, so you're kind of lucky I see this. It's best to open an issue on the M5ez github.

As for your question: ez.buttons.poll() should return the key pressed, or an empty string if nothing is pressed, so you are presumably calling it from inside a loop? If you have nothing else to do in that loop and just want the the code to wait for a keypress, use ez.buttons.wait() instead. Let me know if this was not the issue, and in that case maybe show the code.

Having fun with m5ez

Now i am a copy and paste my own code .... coder....
Copied my slider and made a mechanism that selects and sets each slider.
Next and previous makes you jump between each slider, left and right sets the value , ok publishes the value and up gets you back to the main menu.

I still have issues to get my values in to m5ez object like the header, text works fine but int is still a issue. Tried to convert them to chars, but failed....
So much to learn at once.
