Flow 2 Execute block

[nunley21]

Hello I was wondering if flow 2 had "Execute block" and if not is there a timline or is this feature going to be added. I would like to be able to use both the block system and custom code.

A block to execute custom code?
I use the Execute code block under System in UIFlow2

I'm a relative newbie so excuse me if that's not what you meant

Hello @nunley21

in UIFlow2 the Execute code block is under System.

Edit: looks like @dozauk was quicker!

Thanks

@felmue ,
I am running V2.3.8, and all I see under System is "Execute mpy code (e.g. import)" and "Execute mpy code". I tried putting the block

Execute mpy code [print("## HELLO ##")]

in the loop, but it had no effect. In fact, it wasn't translated to python code in the code window.

Did inserting python code directly get dropped?

Hello @ProfHuster

hmm, works for me with M5Tab5 UIFlow2 v2.3.9. It also got translated into Python code window.

Thanks

Hello @felmue,

I only get

execute mpy code []

as a block.

You can see I reloaded and got V2.3.9. I get the same whether I choose a Tab5 or an Atom Echo. Or M5GFX or M5UI for the Tab5.

Hello @ProfHuster

below is an example filled with print("hello"):

Please also have a look at my example in the UIFlow2 Project Zone called: M5Tab5_ExecuteMpyCodeTest_UIFlow2.3.9

Thanks

@felmue,

Thanks, that worked. I think what happened is I clicked on the code window and did some editing, then went back to the blockly panel. It seemed when I did that, the blockly no longer updated the actual python code.

I will check out your examples,

Hello @ProfHuster

yes, that is what I observed too. As long as edit mode in Python code window is enabled, changes on the blockly side get ignored. (I guess that's to prevent changes from being overwritten.)

Thanks
Felix
