Raspberry pi Model 4 + M5stack Unit v2 M12
-
Hi ,
I'm having a problem while connecting my m5stack unit v2 to my raspberry pi via usb , i can access to the wweb server and everything works fine but the internet for the raspberry pi shuts down instantly and can't run anything except the web server. I really need help
Thank you -
Have you got a correct PSU powering the Pi4?
The Pi4 is a hungry beast compared to previous versions and I managed to kill several SDCards before discovering the PSU was to blame. -
Hi ,
I use The original Raspberry Pi 4 USB-C Power Supply UK Plug, I think there is some network confluence when the M5stack is connected resulting on shutting the internet on the pi. Can't find documentation or topics about this problem. -
This sounds more like an RPI issue, Have you checked in the RPI forums?
I've not seen this issue as I connect to the M5Stack Core2 over the Web and not the USB using an RP4. -
That's what the alternative i should use, unfortunately don't have access to internet router to change it to 2.4ghz tried with mobile hotspot but couldn't as the ip is not fixe the m5stack connects but i couldn't access through SSH.

Ahh, you have a 5GHZ router only. thats a pain.
That explains it.
You need (as far as I understand) a second wifi receiver (usb dongle) plugged into the PI set to 2.4Ghz and leave the PI's internal set to 5GHZ and set up a bridge/host/router. I'm not sure how to do this as I don't know about enough about the PI (only just got one!) -
For improved performance, use a Raspberry Pi 4 (4GB), which Robocraze sells. They are the authorized seller of Raspberry Pi Boards in India. For the last two months, I have been using this configuration without any problems. Conflicts over power or networks may be the source of your issue. Have you looked into if the M5Stack Unit V2 is using the USB excessively? Consider using a separate power source for the M5Stack or a powered USB hub.
