M5StickC Plus2 Simple Launcher

A clean, unified development environment for M5StickC Plus2 apps with both simulator and real device support.

• Unified Interface: Single web page with M5 simulator and app management
• Simple Workflow: Run apps in simulator, then send to real device
• Clean Launcher: Simplified M5 launcher code that mirrors the web interface
• One-Click Deploy: Send code to real M5 with a button click

1. Web Interface: Visit the project URL to see the simulator and app manager
2. M5 Setup: Flash launcher_code.py to your M5StickC Plus2 via UIFlow2
3. Development: Test apps in the web simulator, then send to M5

• Blue Screen: Simple demo app that shows a blue screen
  • Press PWR+B to return to launcher (both in sim and real device)

• Click A/B/PWR buttons to interact
• "Run in Sim" to test apps in browser
• "Send to M5" to deploy to real device

• A Button: Run the selected app
• B Button: Cycle through available apps
• PWR+A: Refresh launcher display
• PWR+B: Exit current app (return to launcher)

Apps are defined in index.ts in the BUILTIN_APPS object. Each app needs:

"app_id": {
  name: "App Name",
  description: "Brief description", 
  code: `# Python code for M5
# Your UIFlow2 Python code here
`
}

• Web Interface: React app with M5 simulator and app management
• API Endpoints: Serve app code and handle M5 communication
• M5 Launcher: Simple Python script that downloads and runs apps
• Unified Experience: Same app behavior in simulator and real device

1. Develop and test apps in the web simulator
2. Click "Send to M5" to deploy to real device
3. Use the same controls (PWR+B to exit) on both simulator and M5
4. Iterate quickly with unified launcher behavior

The simulator shows exactly what your M5 screen will look like, and the button interactions work the same way in both environments.
