<![CDATA[Where are the docs for MicroPython with M5Stack?]]>For example, I know I can turn the LED on/off with M5Led, but where is this documented? I can't even see any reference to it on the M5Stack github

m5stack.M5Led.module

says

'hardware._led'

Where would that be?

It would be nice to have some proper stuctured docs, or at least some source to look at, to see what is available

I can't find any information on how to use the M5 Python Library.

  1. Where does it live? I've seen a GitHub repo, but it mainly says C++ or Arduino. As far as I can tell, this is not good for me.
  2. Why can't I import it with pip? It's also not on https://pypi.org/. Why not if it is becoming a major player in the Pi world?
  3. What can I do with that library?
  4. What functions does it contain?

None of this stuff is easy to find, making this product unusable for use.

https://github.com/m5stack/UIFlow-Code/wiki/Advanced

At the bottom of site you have links to detailed documentation of some modules/devices.

Probably it is outdatet and havent described new modules and devices.

I'm currently working on the E Ink devices documentations which take in Arduino, Micropython and UIFlow.

What is the recommended setup? Maybe Visual Studio Code with VS-Code Plug-In.

But now it's up and running, a lot more questions appear:

  1. How do I switch from USB to WiFi mode? (epecially if I used UIFlow online as first step)
  2. Will WiFi be automatically connected even in USB mode?
  3. How do I get the WiFi status? How do I change it and re-connect?
  4. Why do I have to set the USB mode? M5Burner can connect over USB in WiFi mode, why can't mpy?
  5. When the program is running on my Core2 I need to reset it to run again. Is that standard process?
  6. Is there a debug console? How to use it (write to and see output)?

And for development we need more functionality. What libraries are included?

  1. Touch display input?
  2. Web-server?
  3. web-sockets?
  4. QR-code generation?
  5. File management (on SD card)?

There are some nice Arduino examples, but MicroPython is completely missing.

How do I integrate a 3rd party MicroPython library?

I think we would really love to see some more documentation...

Cheers
Mike

It is taking me a long time to find the seperate api's.
Which LED are you trying to turn on and off?

The API calls in micropython are
M5Led.on()
and
M5Led.off()
