Notes on running M5Stick V with uPyLoader

Overview

I found out how to put files in M5Stick V, so I will write it as a memo.

This time, we will simply output the character string "Hello World". It is the same process as this link. ↓ The shortest step (link) to output "Hello World" on M5Stick V

Preparation

PC to use: MacBook Air M5Stick V body USB Type-C cable

Download uPyLoader

Download from this Github link ↓ Github link

For macOS, 0.1.3 is the latest.

Connect with M5Stick V.

Connect to the PC using a USB Type-C cable.

Then start the uPyLoader installed above.

The left side is the local folder, and the right side is the remote connected folder. We will connect M5Stick V.

Precautions when connecting!

To connect uPyLoader and M5Stick V, press and hold button A on the M5Stick V main unit and press the connect button. By doing so, you can avoid the execution of the boot file that occurs when M5Stick V boots.

This looks like an error, but it seems to be a pop-up that appears when the connection is successful.

This information can also be found on the Switch Sciense M5Stick V purchase page.

Before transferring the file

After connecting, I will transfer the file, but before that, prepare the environment.

Run init transfer files from File. Then, I think that the files " __download.py " and " __ upload.py " have been transferred to the M5Stick V folder on the right side. You are now ready.

Create a file with an appropriate folder name such as " helloworld.py " with your favorite code editor, and select it on the left screen of uPyLoader. ..

By the way, the contents of this file (helloworld.py) is the following code.

import lcd

lcd.init()
lcd.draw_string(100, 100, "hello world", lcd.RED, lcd.BLACK)

After making this selection, press the button ** "Transfer" **. 

It's confusing, but it's at the bottom of the screen. You should now be able to transfer the file.

And we will continue to execute.

You can execute it with the ** "Execute" ** button here.

I think you can see a screen like this.

bonus

You can also edit the transferred files on uPyLoader. Select the file and click it again to open the edit screen.

This is the edit screen.
