<![CDATA[New to Atom S3R - Screen stopped working after burning firmware]]>Hello everyone!

I'm new to the AtomS3R and just got mine. It ran the user demo just fine when I applied power, and after getting M5Burner, I tried loading the SNake Game, Hal9000 and a few other firmwares, but each time, the burn was successful, but after unplugging power and plugging it back in, there was nothing on the screen.

When I burned each time, I held the power button on the side down while I plugged in the power, and when it blinked green, I stopped holding and hit the burn firmware button.

What might I be doing wrong, and what can I do to troubleshoot?

This time I erased first, and it completed successfully. I reset it afterwards, then put it into download mode again (flashing green led) and then burned the Atom S3R UIFlow image. It burned successfully.

When I clicked the reset button, it found COM4 and COM5 (it usually just has COM4) but still no screen.

Now I think I have it working. I think maybe I assumed it would load a program to the screen for UIFlow, but I guess it doesn't?

Is there a good place to get more S3R programs? I only see the UIFlow one in M5Burner?

hmm, have you tried to erase first?

Thanks

UIFlow2.0 AtomS3R

It says it's burned successfully, but still nothing after unplugging and replugging.

If not then that's why nothing is happening.

my guess is that most (if not all) third-party programs in M5Burner have been made before the 'R' version of M5AtomS3R came out.

M5AtomS3 and M5AtomS3R use slightly different hardware which probably need new versions of these third-party programs.

You can see that M5AtomS3 and M5AtomS3R are different from the fact that two versions for the official UIFlow2 firmware exist.

I suggest you try UIFlow2.0 AtomS3R firmware to verify the screen is ok.

Thanks
Felix
