And while you guys fix the nylon 3D printed case design, please also add holes for the infrared emitter.

I see the IR emitter LED on the PCB but there's no holes on the case to let the light out.

And if you are wondering, yes, I do need it.

It would be helpful if you guys posted a file type better than STL so I can actually edit the 3D model myself. Like STEP or IGES.

They won't work with phones as phones use the NFC version of RFID which works on a different band.

Hello @frank26080115

this seems to be an issue from UIFlow firmware 1.9.x and later. UIFlow 1.7.5 doesn't light up the IR LED just after reboot. It's probably the same issue as reported here.

Also digital write pin 9 to 1 turns the IR LED off. It seems that it might be inverted?

Thanks

Currently my solution is that I wrote software that tunnels data between a virtual serial port and a real one, while displaying it to me. It uses com0com to setup the fake serial port.

Basically, m5stick is COM4, com0com is configured with fake COM6 and COM7. COM6 is connected to COM4 via my app and I can see the text in between them and inject keystroke too. VSCode talks with COM7 and all of the data from COM7 goes to COM6, to my screen, then to COM4

I also coded it so if I hit ESC, it sends the CTRL-C signal to the terminal so it brings up REPL. (pressing CTRL-C will quit the whole terminal lol)

This solution still sucks, exceptions are still printed to the LCD instead of to the COM port
