I do not want my code to be uploaded to the cloud!

I do not want my code to be uploaded to the cloud!!! I want to keep certain code private.

I am extremely uncomfortable with sending my code or WiFi password to some cloud server. Certain details of my code projects are strictly private.

Is there a way to still use M5Stack's MicroPython firmware/libraries whilst circumventing the cloud? I prefer to program over a USB cable.

Please, provide firmware to allow the transfer of MicroPython programs over an USB cable without the need to connect to any WLAN.

Hi, if you just want programs over an USB cable, you can remove import wifisetup and import m5cloud at boot.py file.

Thanks. However, I do not consider this to be a smart strategy for a company that wants to position itself as a prototyping platform for other companies.

You should at least put clear warnings up there, informing your users that their code will be uploaded to a cloud server.

Hmmm... If you doesn't use Web IDE, the file will not be uploaded to anywhere. File synchronize is only start on your operation in Web IDE.

That might be, but users should be informed and give their consent!

Anyhow, to overcome this issue, I flashed my M5Stacks with LoBo MicroPython and installed Mika Tuupola's M5Stack MicroPython Kitchen Sink.

yes - this is old, but I agree - I plan to use this in offline mode, and some places may not have network access. That is why M5G0 was good. Can we have an offline use as well?
