UIFlow 2.0 File Management

File Management System

The file management system is divided into USB mode and WiFi mode, with the following differences:

• USB: Material resources are only saved locally on the current device, and are not saved to the cloud project. IDE online preview is not supported. When other devices run the same project program, you need to manually import related resources. Suitable for single device development.
• Wi-Fi: Material resources will be saved to the project, support IDE online preview, when the same type of device runs the program, will automatically pull and download related resources. Suitable for multi-device development.

USB Mode Resource Reference

1. Connecting the Device

Connect the device to the computer via a USB cable, click the webterminal button on the left, and after successful connection, click File to open the file management system.

In the file management system, you can view all files saved in the device and perform operations such as adding, deleting, and previewing documents. Click Get File and Delete File to add or delete documents in the settings, and click Send File to Hear to upload files from the computer to the settings.

2. Introducing Images with Blocks

3. Introducing Images through Code

Find the default address for the specified image to be modified, change the default address to the desired image, open WebTerminal, and click the triangle to run and preview the result. For example, if the address of the M5stack.png image in the figure below is flash/res/img/M5stack.png, modify the default image0 introduction resource and replace it with the image path of M5stack.png.

WiFi Mode Resource Reference

Wi-Fi resource reference modes are divided into local preview mode and cloud project reference mode. The differences are as follows:

• File resources imported in local preview mode are immediately downloaded to the currently connected device and are not saved to the cloud project.
• The file resources introduced by the cloud project reference method will be saved in the cloud project, and the image resources can be previewed online. After running the program, the relevant running file resources will be downloaded to the device.
