<![CDATA[M5StickC - Can't access USB Mode]]>I just recieved my M5StickC a few days ago. Since then I'm trying to figure out how to access usb mode in order to upload my code. Unfortunately the steps listet in the manual (https://docs.m5stack.com/#/en/quick_start/m5stickc/m5stickc_quick_start_with_uiflow) don't work. On boot the stick shows an M5 animation and then switches to the MPU6886 screen.

Buttons A and B are both only cycling through the preinstalled "apps". Holding button B and hitting the restart button only starts the stick in "Test Mode" with a few more apps available, but the settings menu is not available.

Because of this I can't use the device, what is really annoying me right now. Does anyone know how to actually get into the settings menu or had similar issues?

Thanks in advance!

In the setting press button a to go into mode and be to move to usb mode and press a to select usb mode.
Press the reset button and it should boot into usb mode.

You must flash device with uiflow firmware. Then you could run your stickc in app mode or programming mode.
