How to upload from Arduino? How to create a BIN file for M5Burner?

[bicurico]

Hello,

I managed to compile your code on Arduino (Windows platform). I changed it so that the display is switched off, as I noticed that the screen easily burns in. But when I try to upload, I get an error:

"Sketch uses 1119941 bytes (85%) of program storage space. Maximum is 1310720 bytes. Global variables use 53516 bytes (16%) of dynamic memory, leaving 274164 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 327680 bytes. esptool.py v4.5.1 Serial port COM12 Connecting....

A serial exception error occurred: Write timeout Note: This error originates from pySerial. It is likely not a problem with esptool, but with the hardware connection or drivers. For troubleshooting steps visit: https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esptool/en/latest/troubleshooting.html Failed uploading: uploading error: exit status 1"

Also, I have no idea how to upload the generated binaries using M5Burner.

I tried https://esp.huhn.me/ but it won't connect, either.

Thanks, Vitor

(Obrigado)

Please check if COM12 is correctly serial port and If you have correct drivers installed.

Hello,

Yes, I have COM12 selected.

I can burn your binary from M5Burner without issue, but on Arduino, it won’t work. I think the current M5 board library is bad.

Changed to a different computer, installed Arduino IDE and all libraries and now the Cardputer is recognized by Windows as COM3-USB and the upload works.

Not sure what went wrong on my main computer.

Sorry for bothering.

Great! No problems! Good luck.

Just to finish this question and eventually help others:

The problem was that the Cardputer was recognized as COM12. For some reason, that did not work with Arduino. I changed it to COM8 and after a reboot it started working. Interestingly, the Cardputer works directly with Microsoft drivers (USB/COM) and the Silicon Labs drivers did not work at all.

Thanks for share your problem with solution.
