No LoRa Gateway available ?
Check if you have coverage from the Helium Network ? You get some Data Credits (DC) for free for testing. 1'000'000 Data Credits will cost you $10 and will last for years. The Helium Network allows you transferring you data by MTTQ or Https , the same as with the TTN network. You can check if you have coverage in your area by chking the Helium map:

RE: Arduino code for PaHuB2 + any I2C sensor
@teastain In Arduino you can uise the PCA9548 library .
Example : https://randomnerdtutorials.com/tca9548a-i2c-multiplexer-esp32-esp8266-arduino/ -
RE: UiFlow 2.0 discuss(how-to, bug, feature request or sometings)
@ajb2k3 ??? Using UIFlow or Python you can have multiple Apps or Programs on your M5Stack device !!

RE: Vibration Motor Question
Just hooked up the vibration motor to M5Core and had the same problems as you had ... The vibration motor went up to > 1 Amp and the M5Core went into brownout ...
I think the M5Stack Vibration Motor N20 uses the same schematic as the M5Stack N20 Propeller Unit ...
...i think the M5 Stack team screwed up with the resistors used for the control of the AO3400A mosfet :
R2 as a pull down resistor should be 10k Ohm instead of 51k Ohm !
R1 as a current limiting resistor schould be 200 Ohm - 1K Ohm -
RE: M5Stick with both Hat and Grove
Try putting the Wire1.begin(...) in your program loop instead of the setup {}. assigning other pins to the I2C channel;
Wire1.begin(32, 33, 100000UL); // for I2C TOF connection ..
before reading the TOF,
Wire1.begin(21, 22, 100000UL); // for I2C gyro connection ..
before reading the gyro. -
RE: SIM7080 Send HTML mail
Sending an email using HTML ???? The SIM7080 is only a internet modem . As with your computer connected to a moden you can then use the TLS channel and TLS protocols connected to your your mail server sending your e-mails.

RE: M5Stick with both Hat and Grove
The ESP32 has only two I2C channels. Assigning Wire1to pins 0 and 26 you take away the standard I2C channel used for the gyro (pins 22 and 23). The easiest way would be: instead of using the HAT hook up both VL30X TOF Sensors to the grove connector. But you must change one of the sensors I2C address beforehand. Here is the the link to the arduino code assigning a new i2c address (standard 0x29) :
https://robojax.com/learn/arduino/?vid=robojax_VL53L0X_I2C_address.
Another possibilty would be using the M5Stack PaHub Unit as an I2C expander. -
RE: Scale accurate to 10g only
The M5Stack scale kit is intended making a human scale (up to 200 kg) and not one for a phone (210 g). Using the HX711 you have to choose the range of the weigh sensor (= load cell) according to your requirements:
- Range (10g, 200kg, xx tons ...)
- Precision class (C1,C2 .. C3 etc)
The M5Stack weigh sensors have an error rate of 0.3% full scale (Class C1) = +/- 600 grams.
I'm using weigh sensors class C3 measuring the weight of bee hives.
-
RE: M5 scales kit query
Addendum:
I will be testing different scale sensors monitoring the weight of bee hives and transmitting the data (MQTT, GPRS, LoRa, TTN, Helium, Sigfox?) and storing the data on a private server.
As a M5Stack enthusiast I will use their Cores and Atoms ideally suited for quick prototyping and proof of design.
