M5paper no longer works with Arduino from new installs

[liggs99]

Hi

Why is it so complicated to set up the development environement for the m5paper?

The only reliable environment is the UIflow, which works consistently. but seems a bit limited.

The other other environments I've tried are Arduino - painfully slow (even with output disabled), and after compiling it doesnt reset the m5paper to run the code. I assume a later library or something has broken it?

ditto for VScode and Moddable

The "Hard resetting via RTS" doesn't reset it.
Python 3.11 seems to have broken it

Maybe I'm being a bit impatient, but I dont want to have weeks configuring/fixing broken development environment(s), I want to learn how code for the m5paper.

=> Which is stable and doesn't take ages to compile programs, and is compatible with m5paper?

Maybe my expectations were a bit high, but it does seem to be new user hostile!
Maybe I should stick with the UIflow.

I am with you.
I try to get something usefull out my m5coreInk but there is no help/support/documentation out there at all.

I tried to teach a YouTuber Arduino core the AtomS3 and I hate Arduino it is a monster pain to use and so many libraries have to be installed just to do anything.

Also Ink/papers are complicated because they work fundamentally differently to tft/LCD OLED displays.

@ajb2k3 thanx for your afford, but that makes no sense. functionality will be same and just needs to be adjusted to the display. we all know that e-ink is different than lcd, so its no help pointing that out.
