Arduino IDE environment - M5-CoreInk

Driver Installation

Click the link below to download the driver that matches the operating system. There are currently two driver chip versions, CP210X (for CP2104 version)/CP34X (for CH9102 version) driver compressed package. After decompressing the compressed package, select the installation package corresponding to the number of operating systems to install. (If you are not sure which USB chip your device uses, you can install two drivers at the same time. During the installation process of CH9102_VCP_SER_MacOS, an error may occur, but the installation is actually completed, just ignore it.)

For M5-CoreInk

• Search for CoreInk and install it, as shown in the figure below. When downloading, please follow the pop-up prompts to install related dependent libraries.

• Search for M5Stack-CoreInk in the pop-up dialog box -> click Install

Hello World

• Copy the code below to the Arduino IDE, connect M5-CoreInk to the PC and configure the correct port (Tools-> Port-> COMx), click the upload button (->) on the menu bar, The program will be automatically compiled and uploaded to the device. The program will print the string "Hello World" on the screen of M5-CoreInk.

#include "M5CoreInk.h"

Ink_Sprite InkPageSprite(&M5.M5Ink);

void setup() {

    M5.begin();
    if( !M5.M5Ink.isInit())
    {
        Serial.printf("Ink Init faild");
        while (1) delay(100);
    }
    M5.M5Ink.clear();
    delay(1000);
    //creat ink refresh Sprite
    if( InkPageSprite.creatSprite(0,0,200,200,true) != 0)
    {
        Serial.printf("Ink Sprite creat faild");
    }
    InkPageSprite.drawString(35,50,"Hello World!");
    InkPageSprite.pushSprite();
}

void loop() {
