I am trying to learn UiFlow from Luke's video's on UiFlow for beginners. I have a M5Stack fire. It is running V1.6.4 firmware
The Fire is connected via USB to my Windows 10 PC. The PC is running Desktop UiFlow IDE version 1.6.4.
The problem I am having is that when I use the "run" button it works perhaps 1 time out of ten.
It is very intermittent.
Is there a procedure for using the "run" button?
What is the procedure if using the M5Stack fire device?
Any help appreciated.

So you can use UiFlow IDE to write code. The question is how do you save the code and how do you get the code into the M5Stack device? You have three options to "save " the code.

1. Using the "save" button UiFlow IDE can save the code to your hard drive. UiFlow calls this a Project and UiFlow IDE saves this with a .M5F file extension. This allows you to continue working on your Project at a later date.
2. Using the "download" button UniFlow IDE saves the code permanently to the Apps directory on your M5Stack device and gives it a .py extension. This allows you to run/test your code on the M5Stack device.
3. Also there is a "run" button in UiFlow IDE. At any time you can use the "run" button to test the code you are working on. This will send the code to the M5Stack device but it is not permanent.

So the technique to developing code for the M5stack device using the UiFlow IDE is.......
Write the code using blocks and or MicroPython in the UiFlow IDE, save your Project to your hard drive for future use then 'download' your code direct to the M5Stack device.

Hello
I have a M5Stack Fire with V1.6.4 UiFlow. I have it in USB mode and I connect it via USB to my Windows 10 PC which is running UiFlow IDE. My M5Stack has an Apps directory. I want to be able to connect to an app on my M5Stack Fire from the UiFlow IDE and edit it. Is this possible?
Thanks Frank

I downloded the latest UiFlow-Desktop-IDE for Windows10-64bit from M5Stack.com and unzipped it.
When I run UiFlow-Desktop-IDE on my Windows10 PC in the top left hand corner I see "UiFlow V1.4.5"
BUT when I click "CheckUpdate" I get "Current Version 1.0.8.1" and when I click "Check Update" I get "Latest Version: 1.0.8.1"
When I see YouTube videos on UiFlow-Desktop-IDE they show updateing versions using "CheckUpdate".
I don't know what I am doing wrong? Please help
