As long as the correct micropython plugins are added to VSCode, it should be possible.

@jop said in M5Paper Shutdown() / Deep Sleep / Wakeup:

overload-2 int shutdown( int seconds );

The timer function of the BM8563* is based on a 8 bit counter which can be set to be controlled by a clock frequency of 4096, 64, 1 or 1/60 Hz. This means it can timeout with following max interval @ resolution:

62,3 ms @ 244,1 µs
4 s @ 15,5 ms
255 s @ 1 s
15300 s (255 min) @ 60 s (1 min)

so intervals above 255 seconds (4 min and 25 seconds) needs to be timed at one minute resolution.
I have however tested this on my CoreINK (UiFlow/mocropython) and found that it rounds down in intervals of 2 minutes (120 s) for some reason.
I made a script to that just put the unit to sleep but increases the sleep interval with 10 sec every time and then uses the clock to measure the actual sleep time. This was the result:

have you tried to use different usb port/cable?

@dabouse Hi! This is what I get, could you check again, for quality assurance, I'd like to know if there is a problem!?

Oooops, I just discovered that it is tagged PRIVATE, not my intention...working on it!

*fixed it!
Sorry!!!

Hello @holofloh

cool, glad it worked.

Thanks

In M5Burner you use the Erase button to "Nuke" the existing firmware.

It is unofficial and cannot be guaranteed, but it works in my environment if I make my own cable to connect Grove's +5V and GND to the USB terminal side.

Please see the thread in the link below for detailed instructions on how to make it.

@Koiru I have not found a solution but I have found a workaround.

The culprit creating the constant reboots are the touchscreen, if I call the begin function without enabling the touchscreen I can get the unit to work instead of doing constant reboots.

To initialize the unit without touchscreen, use the following arguments:

For me, the issue is resolved, but not quite with an eye to the future. I had the UI Flow IDE on the desktop 1.9.5 ( there is unfortunately not newer) and on the Atom Lite I had the 1.11.0. Thereby it came to incompatibilities that the EspNow in the newer variant works quite differently. BADLY.

Okay ... that falls then under "teaching money" and super stupid. Happens when it should always be done quickly on the side.

Hi ajb2k3 & teastain,
thanks a lot for your advices.
I will look at micropython side but I'm very concerned by the fact that the UIFlow blocks I used have been deprecated without notice. I'm on a very bug hurry now.
I went back to V1.9.8 firmware on my M5StickCPlus and M5Core and everything is working again now. At least temporarily.
Have a good week

During compile I found this error message:

@asshutossh Check for memory issues, Kernal panics and or Guru meditation errors using a terminal program.

There are only 2 causes for this.

the first is the battery not charged fully or The memory is getting filled and causing a kernal panic resulting it CPU shutoff or reset.

Hello,

after three years is it possible to show a static WebPage on the M5Stack/M5Core2?
Anyone has an idea?

Hello @jsarge

I don't know if and when the Station-485 will be added to the Arduino Board library. But since it uses the same ESP32 chip as the M5Stack Basic I'd guess selecting that should work. (Note: I do not (yet) have a Station-485 so I cannot test myself.)

M5Station-485 documentation is here including a link to the Arduino library.

Normally the preinstalled firmware is for UIFlow (not sure that is true for M5Station-485 though). Anyhow, UIFlow firmware can be installed via M5Burner found here.

Edit:

Thanks
Felix
