While there are very few tutorials available for the m5stickC plus specifically, but there are *many* resources for the older cousins of this device, and the principles work exactly the same way. So feel free to search for tutorials on “m5stack”, which is very translatable to both the m5stickC (original) and m5stickC plus. Here are some good ones:

Project Book developed for the m5stickC (original). Most is directly useful, but there are some oddities that don’t match the m5stickC plus. https://m5stack.oss-cn-shenzhen.aliyuncs.com/resource/docs/UIFlow-StickC-Book-English.pdf

Series of youtube videos teaching the basics of UI Flow (and some advanced topics too!). All the demonstrations are for the m5stack or for the m5stickC (original), but it’s very easy to see how things would change for the m5stickC+.

  • M5 Stick C Overview and Programming with Uiflow (link)
  • UI Flow / Introduction to Blockly on the m5stickC (link)
  • M5Stack UiFlow for Beginners – Lesson 01 – Hello World (link)
  • M5Stack UiFlow for Beginners – Lesson 02 – Animations & Games (link)
  • … Several others from the same content generators

Simply put m5stickC into youtube, and see how much comes out!
