Buttons not working on M5StackCore2

[hexsecs]

The A,B,C buttons don't appear to be working on M5Stack Core2.

Thanks for reporting that, the reason Buttons are not working is that it wasn't intented to work on this device (M5Core2 support was only a proof of concept and M5Core Buttons use digitalRead() ).

But since a a quick and dirty implementation exists, I'm pushing the Physical Buttons Emulation for M5Core2 <=> M5Stack into ESP32-Chimera-Core.

Changes will soon be available as a library update in both platformio and arduino library manager.

If you're in a hurry you can still check out the 1.2.0 branch.

Please note this is a partial implementation, e.g. long pushes will probably be registered as short pushes, so don't expect 100% compatibility with the behaviour you get on a M5Fire.

[edit] Update available on this fork (will soon PR) and ESP32-Chimera-Core library should be updated from the library manager too (see version 1.2.2).

I've been adjusting the ESP32-Chimera-Core library for M5Core2, short and long presses are now responding properly on my local build.

I've also been testing support for the M5Core2's BM8563 RTC module, and ESP32-Chimera-Core will be implicitely syncing RTC time to system time in the next release.

Now M5Core2 implementation becomes more interesting than M5Fire implementation :-)

I've also made a few changes to the application UI, fixed some issues with sprites overlapping, but it needs some refactoring before being published, I'll update this post when the code is available.
