WTH, works sometimes when editing - then it doesn't. See error messages below.
Am I wrong in interpreting this as not UIFlow errors but incompatibility with the NCIR Unit?

Intermittent random "<stdin>" line numbers, but consistent driver/mlx90614.py errors.
Any ideas about what is going on or how to resolve? Thanks.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 86, in <module>

OSError: 259

"Get res/img/UIFScreen2.JPG width and height failed"

This is driving me mad. 26.9K properly formatted (baseline, no Progressive, 4:4:4 sample) JPG will not display in Uniflow 2.0.4 and returns error above. Background image is exactly 135 x 240 px for the M5StickC 2+. Displays OK in UIF but won't work when run.

Would greatly appreciate any corrections or suggestions. Thanks...

I have a problem with the NCIR-2 temp sensor not being available in the Unit selection window of UIFlow2. I decided to switch to the NCIR hat and forego the high temp alert capability of the NCIR-2 and low and behold, the hat was missing from the add hat section too.
These are current products for sale in the M5 store. Wasn't the NCIR-2 introduced over two years ago? I think there would have been ample time to integrate them into the latest UIFlow.

I have the same problem with the NCIR-2 temp sensor not being available in the Unit selection window of UIFlow2. I decided to switch to the NCIR hat and forego the high temp alert capability of the NCIR-2 and low and behold, the hat was missing from the add hat section too.
These are current products for sale in the M5 store. I think there would have been ample time to integrate them into the latest UIFlow. Worse yet, there is no way to import a missing component code into UIFlow if the lib was available on Github, etc.
Problems like these are a big letdown from a company that impresses me in so many ways. I for one have started to check the units and hats I want to use and refuse to buy them if the code blocks are not there. I can edit in generic sensors from other sources but that kind of defeats the purpose of UIFlow in the first place!
I feel like I am missing something too. Good luck...

PS: 229 views and everyone kept their mouth shut?

Anyone know if the NCIR 2 can be used in UIFlow2 (2.0.3) if it is not a selectable unit?
It shares the same 0x5A address and pins as regular NCIR so I didn't know if you could use the NCIR blocks and then force the NCIR2 differences in the code editor?

At [M5Unit-NCIR2/examples/M5Unit-NCIR2-Demo/M5Unit-NCIR2-Demo.ino] it shows how different the code is for the additional capabilities (we need) from the NCIR2.

It seems like this unit was released in 2022. How long does it take for new units to be upadted into UIFlow? Any ideas/suggestions?
Thanks...
