Hardware/Software clarification
-
Hi all. I'm evaluating M5 components for a school purchase. Now I'm looking to verify and clarify some things.
I have an M5 Stick CPlus 1.1 and an angle unit to experiment with.
Let's assume a simple project: variable rate flashing LED (rate changes with angle unit), and display the flash rate on the M5 Stick screen. An appropriate LED attached should be all I need to make this work, right? (with appropriate firmware, of course)Is UIFlow online only?
UIFlow 2 doesn't seem to have documentation? And I didn't find anything in it for output (like PWM?) Is that added somehow, or am I missing where it is? Also, displaying something on the screen in landscape requires guessing and adding a rotation separately? I could get Angle Unit values to display, but haven't figured out how to display a stable value, or a 'calculated value' (if the answer is to learn MicroPython, that's enough to give up on the school's evaluation. Arduino was already ruled out as too fussy for 'ordinary' early teens) 'block' programming seems like a better start. And, of course, I haven't figured out how to output anything yet.
Hopefully, it's a lot of simple projects if this works out. Thermometer, light meter, etc.
suggestions welcomed too.
thank you. -
if you in uiflow 2 there is "project zone" with lots of users examples, bet there is few with PWM there, with display there is screen rotation block available
stable value? calculated value? - maybe use of internal variable block for calculations
