The pulse width range is currently limited to 500~2500 microseconds.
I would like to request support for setting pulse values outside of this range. The reason is that there are dual-mode servos on the market where:

The 500~2500 range controls the standard angular position
The 3000~5000 range configures continuous rotation speed

Are there any recommendations or workarounds for using these specialized dual-mode servos with the Atomic Motion Base?

I just purchase Base X connect with M5Stack FIRE, but I just realize that UIFlow 2.0 did not support Base X.

Is there have any plan for UIFlow 2.0 to support Base X in the near future?

base_rs485 = AtomRS485(2, baudrate=115200, bits=8, parity=None, stop=1, tx=5, rx=6, txbuf=256, rxbuf=256, timeout=0, timeout_char=0, invert=0, flow=0)
modbusrtumaster_0 = modbus.ModbusRTUMaster(uart=_, verbose=False)

The Base485 init block dose not return a variable, so custom code is required to init modbus.

Am I missing something?

Hi, I used the chat, but it didn’t help.

I’m using a similar code with Pulse mode:

AtomS3 Lite + QRCode2 Base = 230mA
AtomS3 Lite + QRCode1.1 Base = 75mA

That’s too big of a difference when using a battery.

I am new to this and I have got some questions about the Atom Step Motor base for Atom lite (sku: K047).

  1. Why the UiFlow sample code is not using the blocks store in BASE/STEPMOTOR in UiFlow IDE ?

  2. Why is there a block "init step type" in BASE/STEPMOTOR in UiFlow IDE to set microstep while there is dip switch on board? Which method prevail?

  3. In the sample code, I suppose ADC to reflect actual current in the coils. Am I right ?

Thx for your answers

DowdQ6

Oww.. thanks for the enlightenment - I hadn't understood the '0' of the ESP32 world
ESP32-DOWDQ6
vs the ESP32-S2 or ESP32-S3
https://docs.espressif.com/projects/espressif-esp-faq/en/latest/hardware-related/chip-comparison.html
I'm revaluating. I need low power sleep (or power off), TF card slot, 3 UARTs, Wall Time RTC , 16MB flash with at least 2MB program space and OTA capability- and that is narrowing to a ESP-S3 and possibly a M5-CoreS3. Though I'm also want to plugin Cell LTE ~ Possibly Cell Modem U128 and RS485/Switched 12V - so needs external power with solar panel.
I liked the switched port power on the M5station - oh well.!
USB OTG would be extensible to have - especially USB Host if the software is available.

It is a very tight fit - and I did remove the two small spongy spacers and clear plastic barrier [that seems to exist to protect the battery from too-long-screws from the bottom], so there is less physical protection and the warranty is voided obviously - but now I have a more compact CoreS3/Din Base combo, with triple the mAh to last longer unplugged without the additional height of the 13.2 battery module.

It may not matter to most, but It is a workable, if unsupported, DIY option (if height needs to be limited)
