@jasric89 CoreS3 UIFlow2 Watering Unit example https://uiflow2.m5stack.com/?pkey=a994dbf4881f4d638d89f07070f015e3

@proxys no but don’t let it stop you as there is the midi unit and the built in speaker. I’m working on a project using a core and the old M5Piano

Use the dedicated servo unit and you don’t have any level shifting problems to worry about

This has still got me stumped

@ianfs2 I looked into seeing if my MB support wake on lan I see the option just don't know how to turn it on... I'll report back on this one...

@ajb2k3 I wanted to change the altitude to ft, speed to mph. I found the Maths group, but ended up having to first Convert to Float, then Convert to Int, then I could do the conversions. Also made the labels a bit easier to figure out at a glance.

lblAlt.setText(str((str('Alt (ft):') + str(((int(float(gps_0.altitude))) * 3.281)))))
lblSpd.setText(str((str('Speed (mph):') + str(((int(float(gps_0.speed_kph))) * 1.609)))))

Thanks for the assist. Now on to a cooler UI now that I have the data I want.

@karlfr I saw this on Facebook!
The Dial is a more powerful and capable controller than the Mega.
Just use the Dial, but be aware that it is only 3.3V, and will be damaged if any pin receives 5V

@rdalemd76 Hi to everyone, Was already successful in changing wifi credentials on the fly using wifi manager. This allows the M5 Tough to be moved around as a type of useful tool. If the troubleshooting location has wifi, You will be able to watch the temperature remotely without being onsite. Hopefully, Help your diagnosis with temperature related issues.

@ckuehnel said in Measuring the Water Temperature:

Because I was not satisfied with the information about the water temperature of the Baltic Sea during a past vacation stay, I built a thermometer with M5Stack components and a remote temperature sensor and presented it in a blog post. With the remote DS18B20 temperature sensor, I measured the water temperature at a depth of one meter.
Now the vacations are approaching again, and the message from the BSH still shows very cool water at the end of May.
I have extended the presented thermometer to follow the water temperature changes and be immune from bigger surprises.
Because of the slightly larger display, I replaced the M5StickC with an M5StickC+ and used an M5StickC 18650C to increase the battery capacity. In addition, the thermometer is much easier to handle.
To have the readings available on my mobile phone, I use it as a mobile hotspot and send the readings from the M5StickC+ via WiFi to the mobile phone, which then sends the data to the Pushover server. From there, the data is then distributed to the selected end devices.
This setup won't affect the water temperature, but I can record it in writing. And if it stays that cold, then I can document my heroism.

That's really impressive! Building your own thermometer to monitor the Baltic Sea's water temperature is a unique approach. Upgrading to the M5StickC+ with an M5StickC 18650C for more battery capacity sounds like a smart move. And the data transmission setup using your mobile phone as a hotspot and Pushover server is clever! It may not change the water temperature, but it's great for keeping records. Thanks for sharing, and here's the temperature converter link you mentioned: temperature converter. Good luck with your upcoming vacation and documenting your heroism! 😄🌊🌡️

@skyggen It should not be able to get there at all and the head would be maxed up after print.

I am looking for a method to record the manual movement and then replay it from the ubuntu pc.

Last answer I got from Elephantrobotics is this about saving movement of the arm to sd card or pc.
At the moment I am a bit stuck on what is best approach to record the movement and then send this to the arm when printer is finished with a print.

Greetings, hope everything goes well there for you!
This is Jenny, the after-sales technical supporter of Elephant Robotics.
We have received your request to change the address of the drag point data, but we are sorry that this request cannot be realised at the moment.

The M5 version of the drag-teach programme is controlled by the firmware, and since the firmware content cannot be changed, the address where the drag-teach point data is stored is also fixed and cannot be changed.

Regarding the reading of the points after a single drag, we suggest you try to use the following code.

Importing the Official Python API

from pymycobot.mycobot import MyCobot

Importing the Time Module

import time

Setting up Serial Connection, Serial Port, Baud Rate M5 version, specific serial port number needs to be checked in Device Manager

mc = MyCobot('COM0', 1000000)

Set a slight waiting time, 0.5 seconds

time.sleep(0.5)

Release all joints of the robotic arm, please support the robotic arm by hand

mc.release_all_servos()

Set waiting time, can be adjusted as needed; at this point, the robotic arm can be moved to the target position

time.sleep(5)

Power on the robotic arm and fix it in the target position

mc.power_on()

Read the coordinate information and angle information of the current position and output to the console

print('Coordinates:', mc.get_coords())
print('Angles:', mc.get_angles())
If you have any other questions about the use of the case, please feel free to contact us!

Nice work.

Out of curiosity, Why did you use Circuit python and not the native Micropython?

Totally going to install this for my kiddo! Thanks for the make. 😀

Hi Meldrak,

I gave it a try with a Core M5 basic but I did not get the inside of the battery turn green, orange or red. It stayed black. The issue is that the m5f file does not contain all of the blockly commands, rect1, rect2... up to rect 6 are missing and must be added. The python program contains the corresponding commands but they don't seem to be sufficient..

The increase brightness button works, the decrease brightness seems to effective, screens becomes completely black.
Overall my feeling is that the code is too complex to just report the battery charge level.
And as you say, the indication lacks of precision : 100 % 75% 50% and 25%

Thanks for sharing that, will definitely print it!
